  1. Leo wan't nominated 😭 Javier Bardem Benedict Cumberbatch Andrew Garfield Will Smith Denzel Washington But at least DLU got in for best ensemble
  2. Everbody go watch DLU again several times to make it number 1 😁 Yeah his chances for a oscar nomination will increase if he's nominated for a SAG. I surely hope he will. He and Denzel Washington both lead with most best actor SAG nominations (5).
  3. I found this cute Titanic video with snippets I haven't seen before. I would love to see the whole ET segment so if somebody has it or finds it somewhere please let me know.
  4. Sadly Leo did not win the Golden Globe. Andrew Garfield won which is fine. I’m just hoping Leo will be nominated for the Oscar. I love seeing him live at the event. Also he would have a record for 4 following performances being nominated. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
  5. Quentin Tarantino Teases OUATIH Spin-Off Book He’s Written About Rick Dalton – With A Meta Twist Between his 2019 screen version of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and the much-expanded novel version he published last year, Quentin Tarantino clearly loves the world he created in that film – an alt-history 1969 with perpetual golden sunsets, packed with familiar faces from Hollywood’s Golden Age, rubbing shoulders with Leonardo DiCaprio’s actor Rick Dalton and Brad Pitt’s stuntman Cliff Booth. And the writer-director is not done with it yet. Speaking to the Empire Podcast in a major new interview, Tarantino opened up about a whole new book he’s written involving Rick Dalton. “I probably need to punch it up a little bit,” he says, “but the body of it completely exists.” We’ve long known that Tarantino has worked out complete histories for his OUATIH characters, imagining where they go after the movie ends – and he’s written up Rick’s entire filmography into one epic tome titled The Films Of Rick Dalton, taking inspiration from real-life movie guides. “You know in the ‘70s, you could get those books like The Films Of Charles Bronson, The Films Of Anthony Quinn? Well, this is that,” he explains. “It gives you a little quickie biography of his life. And then it starts going through the career: ‘…and then there's this episodic television show, and then this other television show, and then this movie, and that movie’, and starts with the small parts he has in this one, and it builds, with little reviews of each thing, little synopses of each of them. And it goes through the entire career until he retires in 1988.” So far, so standard Tarantino movie-nerdery. Where it gets really wild is the story behind the book. The Films Of Rick Dalton – which Tarantino himself has written in real life – is, in-universe, also written by Quentin Tarantino. But not our present-day Tarantino – it’s written in the late ‘90s by the Tarantino that exists in the director’s own Hollywood alt-history. Ready to dive down the rabbit-hole? “That is written by me, by Quentin Tarantino, in 1999,” he says, elaborating on the full imagined backstory. “Because in this pretext, Rick retires and moves to Hawaii. And so I go, in 1998, to the Hawaii International Film Festival. I'm there, and Roger Ebert's there, and I’m seeing films. And then one of the festival people goes, ‘Hey, so is there anybody in Hawaii that you'd like to meet?’ You go, ‘Well, who's worth meeting here in Hawaii?’ ‘Well, Don Ho’s here, and this one is here, and that one's here. Rick Dalton's here…’ ‘Woah, woah, Rick Dalton? I wondered what the fuck happened to that guy!’ ‘Well, he retired in 1988, and him and his wife Francesca [Lorenza Izzo’s character, who Rick marries in the film], they moved to Hawaii…’ “So they arrange a lunch. He comes down to the hotel that I'm staying at, and there's Rick! He's about 40 pounds heavier, but there he is. So we have a ball, and he's a really nice fellow, and my movie shows and he comes to the screening. He shows up usually every year for a couple of screenings, he's long since retired – and I have such a good time with him that the next year, ’99, I arrange a Rick Dalton retrospective. We show some prints of his movies, have a nice little thing for him, and he likes that. And then that spurs me to write an appreciation of his career called ‘The Man Who Would Be McQueen: The Films Of Rick Dalton’. And so I write it, and it’s prefaced by this huge Q&A that I had with Rick at that time. It’s all written. It exists!” So there you have it – one of the latest characters written by Tarantino is late-‘90s Tarantino, in a book all about Rick Dalton. By the sounds of it, The Films Of Rick Dalton should see the light of day eventually – though next up is his already-confirmed second book Cinema Speculation. “I think there’s a limited audience to it,” he admits of his Dalton filmography, “but everybody who likes Rick, and cares about Rick, and is interested in the trajectory of Rick and has now become invested in my alternative history of Hollywood… well, this takes the alternative history of Hollywood all the way to the bitter end.” You know what they say – when you absolutely, positively, have to know everything about the coolest Quentin Tarantino character in the room… accept no substitutes.

  6. I've also watched DLU more than a couple of times Here's the script: https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Dont-Look-Up-Read-The-Screenplay.pdf The pic of Leo with Margot is soo cute 🥰
  7. It's finally online! i've been starting to think we might not get this interview.
  8. I'm glad the board is back but sadly we lost all posts after december 21st 😔 Here's the new podcast of DLU: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-last-movie-ever-made-the-dont-look-up-podcast/id1600152640 And some new pics from the last days: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/galleries/article-10369347/Leonardo-DiCaprio-tops-tan-massive-yacht-best-buddy-Lukas-Haas.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10374815/Leonardo-DiCaprio-47-girlfriend-Camilla-Morrone-24-shopping-St-Barts.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10377251/Leonardo-DiCaprio-47-packs-PDA-bikini-clad-girlfriend-Camila-Morrone-24-St-Barts.html These two lovebirds seem to be quite happy 🥰
  9. Thanks @YouNoMe I can't believe that's already 25 years ago. I'm starting to feel old 🤭
  10. @Jade Bahr Thanks for the articles. Fun read. Cool that you got to see DLU again. I would but there's no theater near me showing it. I'm going to see Spider-Man tomorrow and I can't wait to watch DLU again on friday. Good to hear that DLU is doing good at the box office. I thought it wouldn't because of the limited release. The power of Leo 🙂 Leo and Cami sighting from deuxmoi:
  11. Yes I do. Sad but true but I think they would be together if that's what they both wanted. Although I'm pretty sure they are more than just in a brother sister relationship. There were so many rumors and the way they are acting around each other and looking at each other says it all. I think they just decided thier friendship was more important. They seemed to always have had bad timing.
  12. Part of Leo's great monlogue from DLU:
  13. Also being naked in a car is something Jack Dawson is familiar with😂 Thanks fir the screenshots/video
  14. I just watched the video and Leo talks about his dogs and that he freaking jumped into a frozen lake to save his dog!! 😲 Thank god he and his dogs are alright.. The video is on youtube now:
  15. Article and great long interview video: Jonah and his fart machine and Leo's reaction😁 https://ew.com/movies/dont-look-up-digital-cover-roundtable/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=entertainmentweekly_ew &utm_source=twitter.com&utm_content= link&utm_term=20211216 https://twitter.com/EW/status/1471525845172903938?s=20
  16. I would have loved to see Leo star in this. Guillermo del Toro Explains Why Leonardo DiCaprio Left Nightmare Alley Full article: https://screenrant.com/nightmare-alley-leonardo-dicaprio-exit-guillermo-del-toro-explained/
  17. Another nomination for our sexy professor: https://twitter.com/MidnightCriticC/status/1470867414950817792?s=20
  18. Grandpa Leo is still hot 😁
  19. Yes the son's were very fitting. It's really strange to see him as a dad of grown ups. He still looks younger than he is. I would love for him to be a real dad soon. He alsways seems so sweet with children😍 And we need a Leo jr. to swoon about in 20 years. Although I will always swoon about Leo. Even when he'll be 80😁
  20. I thought the song by Ariana was quite funny. I prefer No Time To Die for the win though. And the score for DLU by Nicholas Britell. oxford: So the Critics Choice Awards take place on the same day as the Golden Globes? Who planned these events?? I don’t care where I just want a kleo reunion 🤞
  21. kellybsblover: I don't really care for Will Smith. think he's okay. Leo will probably take Cami and his mother (and maybe even his father) to the oscars and Cami will be sitting with him.
  22. Thanks oxford. That's disapointing. I'm keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed for Leo to get an oscar nomination. It's not very likely he would win but at least the nomination so we can see him live on oscar night 🥰
  23. It's a shame it won't be televised. I still had hope. The globes were always fun to watch. I'm hoping for clips though. Especially since Leo and Kate Winslet are nominated. I need pics/clips of both of them together! 🙏
  24. Also DLU is nominated for Best Screenplay, Best Actress and Best Motion Picture Comedy. Sadly no score. I think the soundtrack was great.
