    It looks like Scorsese is finally making a movie for old white men.
    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (CĂ©line Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    The last book I read was...
    The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain

    Quote Quoting scorsese
    We think it’s a western. It happened in 1921-1922 in Oklahoma. They are certainly cowboys, but they have cars and also horses. The film is mainly about the Osage, an Indian tribe that was given horrible territory, which they loved because they said to themselves that Whites would never be interested in it. Then we discovered oil there and, for about ten years, the Osage became the richest people in the world, per capita. Then, as with the Yukon and the Colorado mining regions, the vultures disembark, the White man, the European arrives, and all was lost. There, the underworld had such control over everything that you were more likely to go to jail for killing a dog than for killing an Indian.
    This doesn't sound like a Western, Marty.

    Maybe he intends to have it be more a western in style and sensibilities?

    I've read the nonfiction that this is based on and lived for four years 10 miles outside of the Osage Nations in Oklahoma--if it's a typical adaptation, it'll be a mystery tale as US federal agents anchor to the Osage people and work out who appears to be killing them.

    The actual tale is bonkers but not a surprise given US history:
    [
    ]
    The Boat People - 9
    The Power of the Dog - 7.5
    The King of Pigs - 7

    It will still happen. Netflix would surely fund the film.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    The first time I remember seeing Plemons was in the Irishman in the car with the fish smell. He nailed it.

    He's a good actor with a good career, but it has to be admitted that he's still nowhere near the star that Leo is; not saying for sure that Plemons won't be as good in the role, just that the film's star power has undeniably been taken down a notch as a result of the move.

    DiCaprio is still in the movie. In the pandemic delay they rewrote the script and Leo decided he was more interested in playing one of the supporting characters rather than the lead. Plemons is replacing him in that lead role.
    last four:
    black widow - 8
    zero dark thirty - 9
    the muse - 7
    freaky - 7

    Wonder if that makes DiCaprio the killer.
