This could be either great or disastrous but I like that in this Scorsese-DiCaprio collaboration there is something finally crazy and not so safe happening.
Yep, his choices are undeniable. Tarantino is up there too, of course, but he can tend to get a little too anachronistic or obscure in music choices but a Scorsese soundtrack being good is always a sure thing. Maybe Jonathan Demme in there too, especially in his 80s period.
^^^^^^^^ I think that has already happened. It just took a few roles and directors were like, 'Oh, you have re-awoken from your early Linklater/Sayles days. Was that your evil twin all along?'
^ Yes, I meant "watching" to encompass his last few pictures. I think he's becoming of an age where he can shed the hunk guy thing and play more interesting characters.
