And I don't mean Inception 2...
Leo...please do something different...like a comedy,action or a fantasy...if I see him in one more biopic or "serious" drama, I am going to flip out!!!
Have you thought that maybe Leo has more fun playing these type of characters?
shareTo Hell with HIS fun! He gets paid millions! It's the film-goers that pay for everything. He's taking himself way too seriously. He should alternate between serious dramas and popcorn flicks...it would just make him more likeable.
shareHe's not worried about being likable, he's worried about making great films. He's an -actor-, not a moviestar. Get over it.
I am you and what I see is me.
He should worry...there are only so many more bio pics left to make...
shareLol, because a biopic is every film he does. Since the aviator he's done Inception, body of lies, shutter island, revolutionary road, blood diamond and J.edgar. Two of his last six monvies have been biopics. You were saying?
I am you and what I see is me.
All of those movies were terrible...with the exception of Inception!
Perhaps I should rephrase...He owes me money for going to see all the crap he puts out!
Maybe if he was wearing tights and had super powers you would like him more?
Who wouldn't? ;)
But in all seriousness, not really. I just wish he wasn't so boring...no one goes to his movies and says how much fun they are going to have.
If his films are interesting how is that boring? Also, he's done action flicks recently, but I get what your saying,...I just don't think his films are boring.

For somebody who spends most of her time watching bad television, you're pretty judgmental of an actor who has proven himself time after time over the past decade. I'm sorry, but darling,...your opinion has no credibility.

Also, he has yet to make a truly great film. He is so far up Scorsese's butt that he doesn't even try anymore.

To Hell with PNTPictures fun! He/she gets paid hundreds! It's the Burger King customers that pay for everything. He/she is taking them self way too seriously. He/she should alternate between flipping burgers and manual labor...it would just make him/her more likeable.
shareI somehow knew that punk remark was gonna come back and bite me on the ass! lol
Well played sir...I will go eat some of that glorious humble pie!
But I still want to see him in something fun that is not directed by Christopher Nolan or Martin Scorsese!

Well played, Ma'am!
shareAgreed totally. I think DiCaprio has a good track record with all the "serious" stuff he's been in since 1997 (except "Gangs Of New York" where we had almost zero reason to care about his generic avenging hero character), but seeing him do yet another prestige awards-season picture (biopic or otherwise) where he does his "squinty" face, his "intense grimace" face, and his "probing earnest" face for teh whole movie, then he's going to turn into self-parody.
He basically needs to do what Christian Bale did and go for a change of pace; Bale did grimacing brooding serious role after grimacing brooding serious role and then after reaching his low point with his bland interpretation of John Connor in "Terminator Salvation" he actually won his Oscar role for his interesting work as that crackhead boxer guy (and made up for that dumb rant where he threatened to beat the crap out of that crew guy.) If he's doing the Tarantino movie that could be interesting. Otherwise he's heading to Sean Pennville.

"But even Sean Penn learned to act" - Yeah, barely. Now every single performance he gives is a big fat load of Oscar Bait; sometimes acceptable (okay, I'll give him "Milk," but Mickey Rourke should've won), sometimes not at all ("I Am Sam," "Mystic River" where he somehow beat Bill Murray for the Oscar by yelling IS THAT MY DAUGHTER IN THEEEERE!!!!!!!!!!!...unless I'm supposed to blame Eastwood for his whole "don't make any changes to the script and don't do more than one take because I've got to get this *beep* movie shot ahead of time and under budget so I can get back to the golf course!" ethos). That's what I mean by "Sean Pennville" - every performance has to be Big Classy Oscar Material Hey Look At Me. It doesn't help that I recently watched Penn give the worst performance of all time by an actor of any significant note (topping even Malcolm McDowell in the 2007 "Halloween") in "Casualties Of War," where he overacted so hideously that he managed to make Crispin Glover in "River's Edge" look like someone in a coma.
Sorry, but I'm one of those poor belated souls who can only tolerate Sean Penn in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High."

OP- I SOOO agree with you!!!
shareI share your frustration, but my advice is write him off and find a fun guy actor. I use to kid my family, How refreshing if Leo wore a bright colored striped tee jeans and played a hip new yorker..who worked at Starbucks. So over all the costumes. Now he's too old to even look right wearing the casuals I described.
