Comedy One Battle After Another - PTA/DiCaprio Team-Up

[Drizzle]

I'm gonna take an educated guess and say that DiCaprio's salary took up a sizeable chunk of that budget.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I approve PTA getting a blank check original movie.

If it actually hits, WB is on one crazy hit streak this year. And with some gambles like the good old days.

Leonardo DiCaprio Recalls Passing On ‘Boogie Nights’ Role As His “Biggest Regret”

Although Leonardo DiCaprio is beloved for playing Jack Dawson in 1997's 'Titanic', he regrets passing up on the role of Dirk Diggler that year.

As well it should be.

Letting a role like that go to Wahlberg, letting us think he had actual talent…

 

[Black Narcissus]

Nah, Marky Mark was great in it. Leo would’ve been great too, but his team back then saw it as too much of a risk. The thing that bothers me now about Wahlberg is him finding God and all of a sudden this is the one role he regrets, out of all them stinkers under his belt, this is the one.

I'm pretty sure God would be more unforgiving about the real life hate crimes Wahlberg committed than him pretending to be a porn star.

He was, but you look at the rest of his career and have to wonder if that was just by accident.

I'd make an argument for The Departed too. After all that was the one time he was nominated for an acting Oscar. Though that could also have an asterisk next to it since angry Bostonian probably wasn't much of a stretch for him.

Boogie Nights is his magnum opus, but hear me out:

Marky Mark was horrifying in Fear.

It’s been some time since I watched that one, but I do recall being rather unsettled by him as a kid.

He played that crazy and deranged white man role waaaaaay too well.

Just like Fred Savage did in that lifetime movie.

Steven Spielberg Praises Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another: “What an Insane Movie”

These reactions looking like PTA got another one.

 

[Drizzle]

PTA has a pretty outstanding track record for someone who's been in the game as long as he has. Inherent Vice seems to be the only polarizing one but critics mostly enjoyed it.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

I haven't seen a lot of PTA's more well-known films, but I did like Licorice Pizza. While I didn't love Inherent Vice, it's a good film to just relax and watch with some fun moments. One Battle After Another so far hasn't fully grabbed me, but I do like the cast lineup, so I'll probably watch it once it's out.

There are only 4 PTA movies I haven't seen yet: Hard Eight, Magnolia, Inherent Vice and Phantom Thread. I really need to quit slacking and watch Magnolia and Phantom Thread in particular.

I wish Rodney Dangerfield was still around so that way after watching Superman he could have said "Corenswet? Last time I had the corn sweats I was at the Iowa State Fair shucking contest!"

So I was checking out the cast list and looked up the actress playing the daughter (Chase Infiniti) and this showed up... wild.

Someone named their daughter after... Chase Meridian. Her only characteristics are that she's horny and a little psychotic.

In the grand scheme of things, at least Chase isn't an unusual name. It's far less embarrassing and unfortunate than the hundreds if not thousands of girls who were named Daenerys or Khaleesi at the height of Game of Thrones's popularity.

Well, somebody better tell Gunn to cast her for some part in DCU Batman's world.
