yeah maybe but that only speaks of how much of a talent Scorsese is. His career is unique and amazing.

Don't know that I agree. There were so many beautiful scenes (especially the dream in the apartment). DiCaprio and Kingsley were great. Solid mid tier.

This isn't mid tier any artist. It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen made by a competent filmmaker, let alone "a master."

It shocks me that you find any redeeming value in that movie. It shouldn't at this point. But man! I'm freaking surprised you didn't hate it.

I don't think it's a good movie but I meant moreso the weirdly personal angle of that comment.

Joe hates Scorsese.

Probably because of the violence? who knows.

That's true, I do remember Joe being a non-admirerer of ol Mart in the past.
