…although here you go:
Anyway: did Leoncardo DiCaprio stop sucking as an actor while I wasn’t paying attention? He doesn’t normally star in films that I’d watch – Gangs of New York was the last one, I think (and, come to think of it, he was good in it) – but he seems to be continuing to have a decent career, which suggests a certain competence.
In The Departed he was very good, even though he seemed to be doing a young Marlon Brando impersonation throughout. If you haven’t seen it, check it out, it’s very good with a somewhat surprising (if not shocking) near-ending. Nicholson hams it up a bit in that one, he seems to be undirectable at this point in his illustrious career, hard to believe Scorsese would have wanted him chewing the scenery so blatantly.
Also re: Leo, in The Aviator he was at least not his most annoying self.
