On a totally unrelated note - has Leo replaced De Niro as Marty's "muse"?
Apparently. And it's too bad, I can just about take DiCaprio. The only thing I loved him in was
Gilbert Grape, and it was all downhill from there to his mushmouthed Romeo. (Though, I liked
The Aviator well enough as a film.)
I'll always be willing to speak up in defense of
The Age of Innocence as worthy Scorcese. Only on the surface is it just another period piece. I happened to rewatch it on DVD from the library not long after seeing
Gangs of New York (which I didn't care for very much), and it was good to remind myself of what MS did right in that work, a vision that was much better realized than
Gangs (to me, at least.)
