Agreed, thought Leo was fantastic, loved the movie.

The answer to your question, imo:

<font color="white"> Costigans. 2 clues: 1) when Sullivan was asked about his sex life he basically went way overboard saying how great it was, to the exces. 2) pretty sure there was a point where the doc was telling him that "don't worry, it happens" while they were in bed implying he was having problems getting it up. </font>

I thought that the original fleshed out a few of the relationships better (Sheen and Leo's relationship didn't seem as good as the original duo in my eyes)

Yea, this is probably my only beef with the film(and the body count being a lot larger). I definetly dug that Nicholson's part was jacked up from IA and I liked seeing how Leo's character got involved in that scene. Granted I didn't see the other two IAs so I don't know if it was addressed in either of them and scorsese added it into this one. I would've liked it a bit more if Damon's character and Leo's character had crossed paths a few times like Tony Leung's and Andy Lau's. What was key though is that scorsese took 2 1/2 hrs for this while IA was ~100 minutes iIRC so he could develop several plot points that were sped up in IA

He has come a loooong way from Titanic in my mind.

Have you seen This Boy's Life?

I'm not sure Leo had a lot to work with in the Titanic script.

I have not seen This Boy's Life. Worth a Netflix queue I take it?

I saw the movie last night. I though it was AWESOME. Unfortunately, I went with this girl and some of her friends, and they said it SUCKED. Stupid women, really, I loved it. I think I'll have to go back and see it with people who will appreciate it.

I have a question as well though...might be a spoiler but, what was in the envelope the leonardo gave the psychisatrist? I feel stupid for not knowing

Excellent film. Best Scorcese since Goodfellas is right. Best movie of the year so far as well.

You need to stop hanging out with those girls. The movie was excellent, and I think easily above Casino in Scorcese's work.

great film, I really enjoyed it.

I have kind of a longshot question.

in the movie there were two Rolling Stones songs played, Gimmie Shelter (twice) and another one that was very softly played in the background. I recognized Jagger's voice but didn't know the song. thanks
