@mad — I always thought, and think, that prefacing actor's names with "Academy Award nominee" is hilariously stupid (i.e. like, what if there was some hypothetical Phillip Seymour Hoffman performance in "Snow Dogs 8: When We Eat Cuba For Sustainance." ?

Not as good as Brick. But good.

A Farewell to Kings, man

Journey is tight.

That's very true. At the end of the day a Scorsese is a Scorsese and I will see it. Apologies if I seemed to be Frank bashing, that wasn't the point.

*snort*
*belly laugh*
*spontaneous combustion*

I agree, but can't feel too too sorry for him because his filmography is just so damn heartbreakingly impressive. Godfather, The Conversation, Apocalypse Now, fuck even The Outsiders wasn't as completely doomed as it could have been in another's hands…

its okay, at least you still have a cute cat in your avatar

How I reacted
Elvis Costello….yeeeeahh
Mary J…..yeeeeeahhh
Clay Aik-screeeeeeeech?!?!

No one was ever arguing about the coolness. Frank is awesome.

Karatloz, I'm sure you wish that filmmakers could express themselves without having to cater to tunnel vision demographics (Lord knows I do), but I named the demographic that the studio and Scorsese himself will be making the film for. Frank Sinatra was and is cool, but when Asher Roth exists in the light of cultural…

Speaking of gimmicks:

Controversial choice Krauthammer but upon further deliberation I may have to agree with you.

No, I LOVE Todd Haynes. LOVE. Safe is one of my favorite films of all time and I adored Im Not There. His execution fit the subject.

I'm a fan of 3D. With all the technological advancements in recent years, 3D is a lot stronger and allows filmmakers to do some unconventional things. People have a tendency to remember "the old days" of red and blue glasses, when its amazing how far its come. Definitely not your mom and dad's 3D.

Actually, Brett Ratner can actually do his movie with Chris Tucker. Nothings changed. Both films can co-exist, and I'm assuming Scorsese's people recognized there was another film in the pipes…

Absolutely, if you have patience and aren't expecting a lot of visceral emotion ala Goodfellas. I was astonished and slightly ashamed that it was only a few months ago I got around to seeing it for the first time. It's quiet, subtle, and great.

…but "Greasy?!"

Sounds like Scorsese
Wants to go all Todd Haynes/"I'm Not There" with Frank Sinatra, which I hope isn't the case. It's going to be difficult to give Sinatra the "unconventional treatment" when Sinatra was by all accounts a pretty conventional entertainer. Hmmm.

What's Pitchfork?
