Scorsese's Muse

Woody had Diane, Mia, and now, Scarlett. K. Smith has whoever he's dating (why, Schwalbach, WHY?). Spielberg has Hanks and Cruise (scarily enough). And, Scorsese has Giardono Capriati...or Leonardo DiCaprio to you. They've done it again, folks, but luckily this time DiCaps (as I shall call him from now on) got rid of his porn star moustache.

To be honest, I haven't seen either of the previous two Scorsese-DiCaps efforts. Cammy Diaz and that aforementioned facial hair got in the way. I may have to finally give in this time, though. DiCaps, Nicholson, Matty Damon, and Marky Mark star in this latest Oscar effort from Scorsees, but I have some queries. Well, I have one query:

Why is Leonardo DiCaprio billed above Matt Damon AND Jack Nicholson????

Matty and Jack have both won Oscars, and DiCaps, well, he hasn't. The preview, however, gives me two reasons to see this new remake of a Hong Kong classic (thanks for that info, husband): Damon's got his Good Will Boston accent back, and Mark Wahlberg's hair part is STUNNING. (I wish I had a picture for you, but if you follow the link to the official movie site, it leads you to the Warner Bros. movie homepage. Pathetic.)

The film's supposed to be out October 6 (please let there be a new poster first), but from the looks of the trailer, I don't think Scorsese will get that coveted, out of reach Oscar. Hey, there's always the Lifetime Achievement Award.
