[the truth]

I hate the fact that comedies, even black comedies are overlooked...why?
most great movied are laced with black comedy, even the likes of the shining, serpico, Godfather,Taxi driver has lots of dark humour
but once it seems its got humour it seems to fall away
this business of losing weight and playing a sick person has worked for tom hanks, christian bale, charlize theron, etc
but the original was deniro , but that was different, where he became a world class boxer with phenomenal training regime and trained by a boxing legend for months....then he ate like a pig for 6 months and ballooned to 15 stones just to be authentic. now thats awesome. the clips ive seen off dallas cowboys look really powerful though

I love all these actors but havent seen all the movies so wirhold judgement on the winner. I would say decaprio has loads of great performances and movies. his best imho is as good as it gets.....its not hes too cool....he needs to find that edge I think to be considered a legend. he almost tries too hard, hes not naturally menacing in the way brando , nicholson, charles bronson, joe pesci, bogart, cagney, deniro, sean penn, hopkins, walken, kaitel, are ....the women too like bette davis, streep, mia farrow, kathy bates, can all be edgy too......somewhere decaprio is misisng this edge. but hes still fantastic

mcconaughey is having the time of his life, check him out in bernie with jack black too , terrific...he also made a lovely speech....well excited to see all these movies
