ILJ
03.12.13 | I would've enjoyed it more had I not had to analyze every nook and cranny of it in english class.
Good book though. |
YetAnotherBrick
03.12.13 | fuckin amazing book, i just started re-reading it too |
JackSparrow
03.12.13 | Good book, This Side of Paradise is my favorite by him though |
newjunk2
03.12.13 | Based on the trailer it seems like a virtual certainty that the movie will suck. Seems like it's going to focus on flash instead of substance. |
JumpTheShark
03.12.13 | From the trailers it looks an awful lot like they are going to just take the plot of it and not particularly focus on the fantastic symbolism, or even the style that he wrote it in. |

03.12.13 | what ILJ said |
ChuckyTruant
03.12.13 | excited for 2 btw |

YetAnotherBrick

WeepingBanana

JackSparrow
03.12.13 | He's good and all but he's not usually the reason great movies are great |
Crymsonblaze
03.12.13 | I like both leads and the book so I'll definitely check it out. I'm not such a fan of the book that a different interpretation is sacrilege to me. Nor am I a big enough fan to really be angry if it sucks. |
nononsense
03.12.13 | The Departed, Inception, Shutter Island, Django Unchained, Gangs of New York, The Aviator, Catch Me If You Can, Blood
Diamond, Revolutionary Road, J. Edgar, What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Need I Say More? Don't think so. |
Azn.
03.12.13 | the book's ok...
but I despise some of the characters |

03.12.13 | Way to leave off the shit Leo has been in dumbass, and it's not like Leo is the fucking writer or director |

His good vastly outweigh his bad. Period. Don't come at me with that shit. |
toxin.
03.12.13 | the great gatsby is the quintessential white man's book
the conflict in the book is that jay gatsby is new money instead of old money
i mean seriously |
Trebor.
03.12.13 | I still don't see how that's relevant |
Funeralopolis
03.12.13 | i read this book in high school and i remember nothing of it is it any good? |

03.12.13 | you have to have good book taste to like the great gatsby |
Trebor.
03.12.13 | Most of the movies you listen had great directors (scorsese and shit)
And the shit movies Leo were in were by shit directors
So yeah actors don't matter for shit if the director or write suck balls |
Azn.
03.12.13 | look at nicholas cage for example
good actor, incredibly stupid roles |
nononsense
03.12.13 | So if we're going by that rationale, Marlon Brando deserves no credit for A Streetcar Named Desire or The Godfather. Makes sense. |
nononsense
03.12.13 | And Nicholas Cage is a shit actor. |
YetAnotherBrick
03.12.13 | "So yeah actors don't matter for shit if the director or writer suck balls"
truth.
and yeah there shouldn't be any arguing whether or not the great gatsby's a good book. just read it, you'll know |
YetAnotherBrick
03.12.13 | "So if we're going by that rationale, Marlon Brando deserves no credit for A Streetcar Named Desire or The Godfather. Makes sense."
That's not what he said at all actually |
nononsense
03.12.13 | The books a classic, one of my favorites. |
Azn.
03.12.13 | nick cage isn't that bad...lol
he's just in horrible roles |
nononsense
03.12.13 | The Godfather had a great director. Lol. So if "actors don't matter for shit if the director or writer sucks balls" or if they're great
directors. Then Brando deserves no credit. Actors act based on how they think their character would act/be like in real life.
They put their own spin on the character. They become the character. For example, Heath Ledger spent 4 months in a hotel
room to prepare for the Joker. So I agree the director is important, but come on, Leo is one of the best actors of our
generation for a reason. I believe he truly becomes his characters. |

03.12.13 | "And Nicholas Cage is a shit actor."
leave this site or get murdered cause you clearly have no fucking clue of what you're talking about |
zakalwe
03.12.13 | That performance in Ghost Rider has made into cinematic history. So awe inspiring. |
Azn.
03.12.13 | we don't talk about ghost rider here |
WeepingBanana
03.12.13 | "That performance in Ghost Rider has made into cinematic history. So awe inspiring."
if you're saying this ironically then you don't understand the point of movies |
deathofasalesman
03.12.13 | I think Trebor just called Danny Boyle a shit director. |
zakalwe
03.12.13 | No I was saying it sarcastically |
Azn.
03.12.13 | granted ghost rider was stupid
but it doesn't mean nick cage was a bad actor, it was the ROLE |

03.12.13 | "No I was saying it sarcastically"
name someone else who would take on that role in the same way nic cage did |

03.12.13 | Dennis Hopper. I am saying that ironically |
Azn.
03.12.13 | I enjoyed cage in national treasure |
Trebor.
03.12.13 | "I think Trebor just called Danny Boyle a shit director."
What the fuck I love Boyle, when did I say otherwise?
Any yeah dude actors are important, but not nearly as much as the director or writer (coming from an aspiring writer/director but hey)
Unless it's a performance piece or some shit
Theater is an actor's medium, TV is a writer's/actor's medium. Film is definitely a director's medium |
deathofasalesman
03.12.13 | The Beach was kind of a shit movie. ;) |
Trebor.
03.12.13 | Oh I forgot about that shit yeah
Well even a great writer and director can fuck up |
kris.
03.12.13 | shit shit totally shit book fucking hated reading it in high school |
Crymsonblaze
03.12.13 | "And Nicholas Cage is a shit actor."
Nope. |
Trebor.
03.13.13 | Kids these days think Cage sucks cuz they haven't seen Raising Arizona or Leaving Las Vegas or shit like that |
Winesburgohio
03.13.13 | If you think Nick Cage sucks you need to see Leaving Las Vegas and Bringing out the dead pronto |
Winesburgohio
03.13.13 | Oops Treb got there first my bad
|
deathofasalesman
03.13.13 | I still don't like him even in those movies. I mean they're great, but Nic Cage. Nah. |
intotheshit
03.13.13 | " And Nicholas Cage is a shit actor."
God you say the dumbest shit. The guy has won an Oscar, and probably should have two more for Raising Arizona and Bringing Out the Dead. You're such a fucking idiot. |
tommygun
03.13.13 | didn't enjoy the book at all but might check movie cos leo |
Crymsonblaze
03.13.13 | Don't forget Adaptation.
Not to mention Cage is consistently the best thing in even godawful movies. |
Calc
03.13.13 | will have Leo = will be good |
intotheshit
03.13.13 | Shit forgot about Adaptation.
Lol Leo is the product of fantastic direction. He can't carry a movie on his own. He always has to be surrounded by other fantastic actors and fantastic direction. Notice how when he's the outright leading man(the beach, shutter island, titanic) the movies suffer, but when he surrounded by talent(departed, django) the movies are just fine. |
BallsToTheWall
03.13.13 | This movie will suck precisely because of Leo. Leo's the reason I refuse to watch Django Unchained. |
tommygun
03.13.13 | you're missing out balls, django is a lot of fun |
Calc
03.13.13 | you guys are all leo hating freaks |
intotheshit
03.13.13 | No, we just appreciate good acting. |
Calc
03.13.13 | be that as it may it still equates to you hating leo and being a freak. |
BallsToTheWall
03.13.13 | Fuck Leo....returning to watch Gabriel Byrne movies. |
intotheshit
03.13.13 | I don't know how the freak thing comes into play, but sure. |
Calc
03.13.13 | I'm radically offended. then i'll say..
will have tobey maguire = will be good |
