Great cast, great director. I'll be there on opening day.

BTW for those keeping count this is the third gangster movie in a row in which Scorsese has used "Gimme Shelter," my all time favorite song. He must be a huge Stones fan because he's used lots of their stuff in his gangster films, and not just the well known tracks ("Gimme Shelter," "Satisfaction" "Jumping Jack Flash") but also fairly to very obscure songs only real fans know about ("Monkey Man," "Tell Me," "Sweet Virginia" "Memo From Turner").

David Chase has taken a page out his playbook, using songs like "Undercover," and the then ultra-obscure "Thru and Thru" on "The Sopranos." Hell, so has Axl recently covering "Sway" in concert which the Stones just played live for the first time on this current tour.

It does, I'm most curious as to wether it uses a similar style of editing as Goodfellas and Casino, that's part of what made those two films for me.

I cannot fukin wait till this film comes out, how cool does the trailer look! Goodfellas is by far my all time favourite movie, lets hope scorsese does it again. Although its a remake or reinterpretation rather of internal affairs, is jack nicholsons character, frank costello, based on Whitey bulger?

I've heard he's based on him to some extent, I'm not sure how much though.

A movie really about Whitey would be sick, of course his story hasn't been finished yet.

Scorsese is really making leonardo di caprio into a respected actor. With Gangs of New you, the aviatior and now this.

This film looks good and I'm looking forward to see what scorsese is making. He has yet to disepoint me. (or wait, the one with the ambulance driver. that was boring as hell IMO)

I guess this will be another scorsese movie that everyone involved in it gets a oscar exept scorsese himself :p

Sweet Virginia is an awesome song

Is it from the 72' tour? I've heard that and it's killer. My favorite version of "Sympathy" is the "Ya Ya's" version because of his inspired minute plus long solo. It boggles my mind that he isn't named more often along such greats as Clapton, Hendrix, Page etc. considering how much work he did during the Stones classic period. One of my favorite solos of all time is his from "Dead Flowers," man it just makes me feel like morning in the poppy fields in Afghanastan.

Ronnie's been around the longest and gels personality wise the best, and Brian is always the most romanticized, but for me Lil' Mick will always be the best of the Stones lead guitarists...too bad he didn' t/couldn't stick around.

Ok I saw it (the opening day thing did not pan out), I thought it was real good, I've heard some people say people it is better than Goodfellas but that's going way too far. Very unrealistic at times though, yet the great story and acting though made it worth it for me, plus I knew it was based on a Hong Kong film, and their gangster pics tend to be less realistic then his gangster pics.

Speaking of which I should note I have not seen any of the "Internal Affairs" trilogy on which the film was based, but will definitely make it a point too. If I had to complain I would say that it might have been better to see Scorsese do an adaption of a book on the life of former South Boston Irish crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger, with whom he shares some similarities. There is one plot point that anyone who is familiar with "Whitey" will see coming a mile away, and was evidently not in "Internal Affairs," you'll know what I mean...

Like all of Scorsese's gangster films it had a great use of music. For me the highlight in this arena (aside from my fave "Gimme Shelter" being so prominent) was hearing the obsure Stones classic "Let It Loose" off of Exile on Main St, the cover of which is used later on in the film. Marty (or his music guy) has been much more surprising with his Stones song choices then the Stones themselves for most of this past tour.

One more thing, anyone ever notice that Italian gangsters always look so bad compared to other ethnic gangs in films? Departed, Miller's Crossing, State of Grace, a million blaxploitation films, King of New York, The Punisher (never saw but I was told Yakuza kicks their ass) etc. Anyone have any theories as to why? Is Spike Lee doing a whole lotta ghost writing or something?

Scorsese is god.

DiCaprio is the next De Niro.

Damon is underrated and one of the best of his generation.

Nicholson is Nicholson.

Wahlberg is Dirk Diggler.

I need to see this immediately.

DiCaprio is a fucking great actor and underrated as hell. Everyone ignorantly picked on him as a "pretty boy" after Titanic because he got female attention afterwards but these are the same people who probably have never even heard of "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" or "This Boy's Life." He stole the film from De Niro which is amazing considering he was a teenager. (It was De Niro's weakest role IMO - way too clown-ish and over-the-top.)

DiCaprio's just like Depp - they tried for years to abandon their "pretty boy" label (Depp didn't do mainstream pictures for years until Pirates) and have both proven themselves as great actors in the process.

DiCaprio's got that same brooding passion that De Niro had thirty years ago and I think Scorsese sees it and is utilizing it to his advantage. This is their third film together already and rumor has it they're already planning another film together.
