I'm going to see it tonight. I love scorcese's work and Daniel Day lewis is apparently superb in it. I'll probably be disappointed but what the hey man, it's a night out isn't it?

I fear Scorcesse fell off. From waht I've seen it looks like Moulin Rouge and his history is all ta cock.

Scorsese eh?
reminds of that King Missle track... ever heard!?!?!?
"he makes the best fucking films... if I ever see him... I'm gonna chew out one of his eyes and spit it out in his face... blah blah blah"
but anyways...
you cant beat Goodfellas or Casino...
heh or Bringing out the dead how about Cape Fear?
but as always... I find all directors make a shitty movie, its in the contract...
Kun dun??????

Saw it last night - fell asleep for 10 minutes during it ( something to do with the half bottle of buckie I had perhaps ) - very disappointed. I always had my reservations about scorcese ever since he sold his sould to Johnny Walker and this just confirmed it. Visually impressive but ultimately a bit empty - a bit like kelly brook.

This from Johnny Vaughn: (OK it's from the Sun - shite paper, but I thought it was good & pretty funny)
"As a result of this maelstrom of sub-plots, in the end I had lost all sense of the main event. Just lots of potential and build-up, no real pay-off.
Lots of stocking fillers — no big prezzy. Titanic had a lot going on on board, loads of plots, great performances, social comment, Irish immigrants, British snobbery, strong love angle ... but if it hadn’t hit that iceberg, admit it, you’d have felt slightly cheated.
I’m not saying GoNY is like Titanic without the iceberg — that would be way too cynical.
But story-wise it is messy and a little unsatisfying.
Scorsese has been trying to get this film made for 30 years, a fact I find quite odd.
I mean, why would a powerful and revered film-maker with his pedigree and eye for detail have trouble selling studio bosses the idea of a period gangster film set in New York? It doesn’t make sense.
On paper, that’s like turning Tom Cruise down to do a film about fighter pilots in World War Two.
I suspect that when producers and money men hear the words Scorsese, gangs and New York, they — like me — wanted to see Joe Pesci, Robert De Niro and a few of the usual Italian/American faces wearing thousand dollar suits, eating a lot of pasta and driving around in big Cadillacs.
They want to see fat wise guys in shellsuits whacking out other fat wise guys in shellsuits.
Or stealing lorry loads of fur coats, or cheating on their wives and setting whores up in apartments.
Or looking shady and whispering at funerals.
Or just hanging out in sleazy social clubs or Las Vegas or pool halls, “busting each other’s balls”, digging graves for each other, using mob lingo, nipping down to Miami, making up nicknames for each other and gambling.
What they don’t want is the Age of Innocence, Last Temptation Of Christ and Kundun.
Other Scorsese. The man with a mission talking about a film using the word “project”.
That scares them as all t

That scares them as all they can see are spiralling budgets and a confused audience.
Anyway, hats off to Marty for finally persuading them.
So should you see it? Definitely. It’s a visual feast crammed with great performances, particularly Daniel Day-Lewis, who gives us one of the great bad guys of cinema history — truly mesmerizing.
Though it would be unfair not to mention Jim Broadbent, John C. Reilly and Brendan Gleeson who all turn in great supporting performances.
GoNY also offers the chance — rare these days — to see a grand scale production that hasn’t been created by computer."

Ahh right. So he made an advert for Johnny Walker whiskey. Well, he also directed the MJ 'Bad' video so let's not be too hard on the guy.

But the video was a raw and harrowing depiction of gangland violence. It had a great deal of artistic integrity about it. The same cannot be said for his advert.

Aphex did an advert. Did he "sell his soul?"
Did he have one in the first place?

Any artist who does commercials selling products to the hoi polloi has no artistic integrity whatsoever. And that includes Richard D James.

What have Oi Polloi got to do with it? I saw them live and they were one fked up punk band.
So I take it you live in complete isolation and due to your standards have never made money by or for a large company.

I'll quite gladly pay for his music because I enjoy it. However, I feel the music is somewhat devalued when it is being used to hellp flog pirelli tyres or whatever. I used to love that caustic window song but now every time I play it I've got a vision of some dude jumping over rocks in my head.
