"The Wolf of Wall Street" - More Bloated than the Clinton Campaign

Maybe "Wolf of Wall Street" would have been more credible as MAD magazine makes a porno flick ... but it wasn't even much for porno although Denise Richards was at her hottest.

Some guy commented on IMDb to say, 'in the movie someone says fuck every ten seconds and boobs are everywhere plus there's so much sex all over the place he could hardly watch it.'

It's one thing to miss the point of a movie and it's another to advertise your thickness to the globe.

Obviously the movie was depraved as it was an end-to-end hatchet job so it's odd to get tense over boobs when they were one of the few things which were real in any of it.


The plodding mule of utterly predicable inevitability had all the charm of a bad documentary about the wicked schoolmarms of Kansas.  Every single person in it was a flat-lining stereotype and it would have been as bad as "Titanic" but, regrettably, no-one died.

There's awful in movies and then there's Martin Scorcese awful which added a definite magnificence to the hedonistic squalor but he also filmed "Shine a Light" which was a killin' documentary about a Rolling Stones concert not so long ago.  "Shine a Light" was laser accurate but "The Wolf of Wall Street" was more bullshit than a political campaign which, in many ways, it was.

Say there, Marty.  You've got a bit of a yaw problem in yer movie-making.


We would like to credit Scorcese with some cleverness so maybe his purpose was an extremely obvious parody but it's impossible to parody Wall Street by presenting depravity when it's already regarded globally as one of the lowest shitholes of depraved obscenity than anywhere else on the planet.  If Moses ever sees Wall Street, there won't be anything left except rubble.


So far, The Wolf has the record for suckage way beyond a normally sucky movie.


And the worst part ... (drum roll) ... they mutilated a Ferrari.  What kind of scurvy wastrel deliberately vandalizes a Ferrari and especially for a piece of shit movie like this.

A better depiction of corruption within the financial system was last years Oscar best picture nominee, The Big Short. It does an excellent job of combining entertainment, education and enlightenment.

Thanks for the recommendation on that one. I was questioning this one from the start because Leonardo DiCaprio has a record of mostly zeke movies but a great many people thought the movie was good. Well ... (larfs)
