McConaughey is excellent in it - serious amount of weight loss by him and Jared Leto. Compelling story but suffers a bit as a film in that there was no natural end so it sort of petered out a bit. I’m giving it a 6+/10.[/quote]
I watched this last night. It ended a bit abruptly, I felt. I thought it was a good film though - hence posting about it in this thread. 75/100 for me.

Does Jared Leto play a woman in it or something?
A transgender dude/lass. Some touching* scenes with the main character.
*not that way.
McConaughey played a very strange character in Killer Joe and played it very well I thought.
That was a very strange film in general.

Leto strikes me as an unbearable gobshite.

That scene near the end with whats her name sucking on the chicken drumstick was as fucked up a scene as I’ve ever seen-very strange movie.
[quote=“farmerinthecity, post: 893210, member: 24”]. Far too much filler - the scene where the drugs kicked in and Di Caprio attempts to get back to the car was bottom of the barrell and shocking from Scorsese. Of course you had the tards in the cinema laughing their heads off.

what are you on about ??..that is one of the funniest scenes I ever saw in a film…its not filler…it was to show how out of control di caprio was… it reminded me of Johnny depp in fear and loathing when he is trying to walk when off his face on mescaline …
there probably wasn’t enough French existentialism in it for you…:rolleyes:

@Bisto you must be a total philistine if french existentialism doesnt insist upon itself
On the back of strong recommendations on here I went to see The Wolf of Wall Street
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Di Caprio is a brilliant actor. The Duchess 
I am looking forward to seeing Out Of The Furnace. Looks like a hum dinger
Muppets from Space on Sky Movies now. One of my favourites. Brilliant funk soundtrack.
Quality, Fagan. Listening to Ceili house myself
Inside Llywellyn Davis is fantastic. Right up there with Lebowski and Fargo.
Saw it before christmas, excellent. Smashing ending.
Wasn’t it? I was wondering how the fuck it’d end, knowing it was almost over. And it was perfect.
“Please Mr. Kennedy” should be a hit.

My friend that I watched it with didn’t spot the point of the ending at all, didn’t recognise it I suppose. Great finish, very clever and completely fitting. Oscar Isaac is brilliant as the lead too.
Saw The Armstrong Lie this evening. Nothing new in it really but it’s well structured and tells the story well even if you know it already. 13/16
Quelle surprise.
Eh?
Watched this last night. Very good film. Mikkelson is excellent in it and despite the serious nature of the film there are some good light hearted/funny moments in it. Well worth a watch.
The scene in the forest is a great ending as well
