True, but that's still about 4 hours!

 

You'll be surprised how quick it passes.

 

It has many great scenes but the cut to the 'future' with The Beatle's 'Yesterday' playing in the background is genius.

Yeah I got to that bit. it was brilliant.

 

And a testament to their makeup and that that De Niro basically just looks like he looks now :)

Anybody seen Gangster Squad?

 

I'm a sucker for that whole post-war, LAPD, James Ellroy-type genre, but I just read the (non-fiction) book they based it on, and it sounds like they've really turned it into Hollywood hokum.

 

I don't mind that in itself, but when they use real people as the characters - Jack O'Mara, Jerry Wooters, Jack Dragna, Mickey Cohen, etc. - and then totally rewrite history, it pisses me off a bit.

 

If you're going to do fiction, use fictional characters, don't do pseudo-history.

Worked in Inglorious Basterds

It absolutely didn't. IB was the film that finally convinced me that I don't like Tarantino.

Each to their own.

I wouldn't bother with Django if I were you then ;)

Back on the comic book movie front (should this be spun off into it's own thread?) Latino Review is saying:

 

- Bale is in talks to reprise his role as Wayne/Batman in JLA

- Christopher Nolan will oversee JLA and the whole DC Universe for Warner Bros.

- Zack Snyder may direct/produce JLA

- Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy and Man of Steel would be set in the same universe

- JLA would also be set in this universe

Very disappointing. Unlike many I really liked how he ended The Dark Knight trilogy and think it needed to be left as such.

Odd move if it happened.

 

"Hey Superman!"

"What?"

"Where the **** where you when I was paralysed and Gotham was spiralling out of control?"

"It were that bloody Kryptonite again werent it? Bloody stuff crops up at the most inopportune moments."

My favourite flavour is still original mint, although I must admit I have not tried the orange sherbert yet
