Horrid movie

Talk about bullying.
Yes, I did. I gave you specific examples of the hypocrisy of the left where Hillary and others are the bullies, including your ilk which rioted rather than allow free speech.
You, on the other hand, cannot give actual examples of it from the right.
At best I call it a disagreement
That's because you know your position is wrong, and therefore won't go into a deep discussion about it.
Do you come up with that, or did you see that on some repub hate column and thought it was fun to repeat?
Again, CNN posts a story which they KNOW to be false, and you somehow "think" the right spews the hate.
If I'm so low-intelligence, a hypocritical moron, why do you bother?
There is no "if" here. Why do I bother? Because there is always a chance, usually extremely small, that someone like you possesses enough intelligence that they are willing to open their minds and not simply accept what their liberal masters have told them is the truth. I always hope that when someone like you is shown the truth, such as how Hillary ACTUALLY bullied people, you would question the liberal play book you recite. Alas
Go speak to your own overlords and pray they bestow their ill-gotten gains and hope for a white power, gun-toting one-party, nazi amerika.
You just PERFECTLY described the democrats. Hillary takes bribes for her wealth, you just ran two old, white people for POTUS, Hillary, Pelosi and the rest of the ilk all love the guns which they have to protect themselves (while wanting to make it harder/take them away from the average American) and, as we see from the riots going on, they are more like the nazi's than anyone else.
You really should stop while you are behind.
I'm sorry but the right is all about calumny and venality.
0bama could have withdrawn troops any time he wanted. Instead, he kept it going for 8 years. Plus, he helped take out allies and destabilize the area, and emboldened the enemy.
Nixon had Watgergate,
Clinton had White Water.
Reagan tore down the middle class and the social safety nets,
Reagan & Bush's policies had a huge impact upon the growth of the country. You are probably too young to remember how bad things were in the 70's. Reagan & Bush opened things up and the economy boomed all of the way through Clinton's reign. But, you aren't interested in facts.
W created endless war.
Not only could 0bama have ended the war any time, but most dims were quite in favor of the war, including both Clinton's. But, that doesn't fit your narrative.
Dems abandoned the South because of racism
If only the dims abandoned racism.
And I don't refute your points because they aren't worth responding to.
Spoken like the true, pathetic putz who is afraid to try have a discussion because they know they will be shown to be wrong and stupid.
If you cherry pick some article just to justify your point, it means nothing
What apology? They flat out said when they published it that they knew it was fake. Anyone with any moral character would denounce them immediately for doing such a thing. Of course, I understand why you don't
I'm sorry, but you aren't thoughtful or conciliatory.
I'm very thoughtful to people who have thoughts and can support them with facts and logic. People who spew lies, hatred, ignorance and refuse to support their hatred with any facts aren't worth me being thoughtful of. And, why should I be conciliatory? I'm right and there is nothing to gain from being conciliatory to someone who cannot support their points. A discussion is give-and-take, and you've not had any of that. You spew your hateful talking points and cannot give any thought to my actual points.
Instead you make ridiculous statements that even George Will or David Brooks wouldn't give the time of day
You mean the dried-up, old establishment prunes?
Just hangout with such brilliant sober-minded scholars like Limbaugh, O' Reilly, and Hannity.
Yeah, they are so brilliant that they correctly predicted President Trump would win.
I'm just glad everyone else I speak to seems to be thoughtful and polite.
Are they liberals like you, or just RINO? Because if you speak to anyone who has a back-bone the way you speak her, I'm sure you get b!tch slapped like you do here.
If you are going to engage in a discussion, don't just spout off the cr*p your masters tell you to. Actually read about it from all sides and form your own opinion. When you do that, you won't be afraid to discuss the points made.
But, you are afraid to discuss them because you know you have nothing to back them up. -

I won't comment on CNN's role in this as it gets complicated, but every news source I heard after the dossier was leaked said it was not reliable. That's the difference.
When someone on the right decides it's time to slag a progressive, they send out the barking dogs and echo chambers and drum so loud as to convince their easy to please followers that anything emanating from fox is gospel. That's how Kerry got swift-boated, and HRC's accusing of murdering people to avoid email scrutiny. If someone on the left is foolish enough to use repub tactics against them, it surely does not surprise me.
I'm not a woman much less Deanna Durbin, but the old-time glam-shot appeals to me. -

So let me get this right: are you in any way taking away from this film that Scorsese condoned any of Belfort's pathetic behaviour?
At the very least, it certainly looks like
you
condone it, and possibly admire it. The American dream, eh? Make as much money as you can, no matter how many people you have to rip off and damage along the way, eh? "America first"!

Too late." -

I'm a 'wussy' democrat and I hated it. Nothing but sex and foul language. Wait! Perfect for Trump supporters! I couldn't watch the whole thing either. And WTF does politics have to do with it? You half-wit You!

Yeah, it isn't for everyone. The main character is an anti-hero. You feel bad rooting for him when you know he isn't a good person. So, without someone to actually root for, you are just watching a bad person do bad things.
But, if you think it was a movie just for horny men, then it means you are pretty shallow and immature. -

Scorsese won again, Leo won again They put together an incredible film that people say they don't like because of Sex and Money/Dislike of Jordan as the Main Character etc. Goodfellas doesn't have a decent human being in it, yet people who love that, hate this lol. IMO, a 70yr old director showcased that he still has more talent that the rest of Hollywood. The one beef I agree with is the length. I think 2 and a half hours could've worked BUT, I still love it. It's a wild ride. Beautifully shot, the score is incredible and the acting/casting is as good as it gets.

it bored me. it's far too long for the rather slight story it tells, And there are a lot of wearisomely repetetive sex scenes, drug taking etc. And the characters are unappealing, i didn't care what happened to any of them, which makes it dull.

to posters that THOUGHT DA MOVIE WAS "HORRID" & left brief comments
Are you SO bored that you felt the urge to come leave a comment like that.
It appears you simply can't find yourself to enjoy anything with your time, Lol**
.
teheheheeheeeeee
You randoms individuals need to find ways to better spend your time.
And the ones who at least spend a moment to have REASON:
louiseculmer~ I apologize the pacing of the film bored you or detracted from your watching experience but that does not make it too long for the story it tells.
I also understand different viewers can tolerate different amounts of sexual or drug related content before it simply annoys or causes a lack of interest. This may have had a lot to do with you completely losing interest in the characters and giving you the thought that you find it "dull".
I am sorry you could not have gotten on board with the film; great that you gave it a chance after having watched the films trailer, reading the synopsis and understanding the type of film it was ultimately. At least I hope you did all three of those things.
I guess I can get on board with reading and posting among this "thread" because alas it has entertained me and occupied my time much like the movie itself. -

There has got to be at least one movie you have enjoyed that others might have claimed was too long for its "very" slight story That is very subjective.
You do know this movie covers a span of him starting in wallstreet, going through a first marriage, his early years with penny stocks, his rise to the top, his "fall" to the bottom-getting investigated/caught ect.
I don't think you understand how much happened if you want to come back and reinforce and re-state that "OPINION".
A lot of modern films are too short in my opinion, and that is my honest opinion if you can understand my point for mentioning such.
Gone With the Wind could've been a two hour film; I enjoyed this one.
Titanic felt it was ABOUT TWO HOURS longer than it should be (In my opinion) for the very SLIGHT story it told.
I'd love to try and find a soft spot that you can really disagree with considering you feel it necessary to act like it is fact that this film was too long IT HAS A VERY HIGH RATING ON THIS SITE, was very well reviewed ect ect.
Please don't touch on this point again and bring something new to this thread if you wish to continue posting, that second post was terribly irrelevant.
Edit: Oh and my initial post about your thoughts on the movie was considerably more disrespectful until I edit'd it down, I no longer have that respect for you. -

A lot of modern films are too short in my opinion,
I agree with you on this. Too many people have ADHD attention spans and can't handle sitting and watching a movie which is more than 2 hours long. Hell, I don't know how many people can't even sit through a movie which is shorter than 2 hours long. I get it if you have to pee, but how does that take 5 minutes to accomplish?
There are so many movies out there which would be masterpieces if the audience could actually concentrate for 3 hours. -

I just saw WOWS, and I like Scorsese a lot. The movie was entertaining in it's energy, but I did find the reliance on the sex and drugs scenes after a while seemed gratuitous.
We certainly can get the impression Leo is living a debauched life w/o sensationalizing it repeatedly. I kept wondering when the tone of the film would take a turn for a suspenseful "what happens now?" Instead it just seemed to rely on more graphic sex and drug use. But I don't hate the film, not at all. It just doesn't live me feeling like I learned anything interesting.
