When I say, "Baltimore," envision the sociopath character/crewmember in Alien Resurrection when he says, "Earth."(1)

As for DiCaprio, I must acknowledge he did a fine job in Blood Diamond and The Departed.  It is much less irritating to watch him on screen, these days.




(1) My attitude & enunciation is similar, not any sociopathic tendencies.

Inception was kinda neat, but not as thought-provoking as promised. Shouldn't rock anybody's perception of reality. It's about time J.G. Levitt got some better roles.

Seriously, Fistful? You thought he was good in Romeo and Juliet? He wasn't acting, he was reading the lines, as were all but one of the actors.

No. I said that DeCaprio was a bad choice for Romeo, but the movie is still good.

It's good to see someone take the time to consider their answer before responding.   :lol:

It's certainly better than the audiobook I've once had that cast a 60-year-old grandma as Juliet.

In that case, I think DeCaprio would DEFINITELY be a better Juliet. (<--- not a typo)

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I thought they did a really good job with the movie... on multiple levels.  That was a pretty involved concept to present as a watchable action movie.  I don't know if DeCaprio was the BEST choice for the part, but I thought he did a very nice job. The action and special effects were top notch as well.

I don't think I've seen a movie with DeCaprio that I haven't liked. (Never saw Titanic or Romeo and Juliet, though).

The first watching of Inception was a bit confusing. It wasn't brain-twisting or hallucinatory or anything like that, but was hard to follow the twists. It made more sense the second time around, and I enjoyed it more the second viewing.

DiCaprio wasn't a good fit for Romeo & Juliet, but he did a great job in Blood Diamonds and Shutter Island.....

Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

Titanic is just a crappy movie all the way around, especially the scenes set in the current day.

Well, OK, OK. I loves me some Winslet. Still...
