  1. Jade Tks for more great Once updates
  2. More about Google Camp 2019 which is reason why Leo was in Sicily this weekend Tested successfully last year, Page&Brin have again chosen Sicily for the yearly summer Camp for CEOs, representatives of the international star-system, bankers, financiers and VIPs, mostly top secret. Google in Sicily has returned to the Valley of the Temples, and the Verdura Golf Resort in Sciacca, a partner of Sicilia Convention Bureau, has reopened its doors to the world’s high-powered delegates for an exclusive event currently taking place and hitting the most important international headlines. July 27th: the Gala dinner in Agrigento, in Valley of the Temples, facing the Temple of Concordia, set up for the occasion with a stage and “commandeered” for 100,000 Euro (£70,767) in favour of the area of Agrigento and of the maintenance and protection of a Unesco World Heritage site since 1997. About 300 guests, shielded by demanding security measures, such as a no-fly zone over the area. July 28th: the event moved to Borgo Bonsignore on, in the hamlet of Ribera, where it terminated on July 30th.

Larry Page, CEO of Google; Eric Schmidt, President of Google; Bill Gates; Lapo and John Elkann with Lavinia Borromeo; Jovanotti; Andrea Bocelli; John Legend; Arianna Huffington; Kayvon Beykpour, founder of Periscope; the CEO of Uber, Travis Kalanick, and his counterpart at Snapchat, Evan Spiegel; Lloyd C. Blankfein, CEO OF Goldman Sachs, who held a conference on the future of Europe; Anshu Jain, Top Board Member of Deutsche Bank; Ana Patricia Botín (Banco Santander); the venture capitalists, Ben Horowitz and John Doerr, and the entrepreneurs, Elon Musk (Tesla), Brian Roberts (Comcast), together with the fashion designer Tory Burch. These are the names that escaped from the utmost discretion surrounding the tightly sealed and meticulously organised event. Having left their private jets at Palermo Airport and transferred by helicopter to the Verdura Resort, the guests are enjoying an exclusive location for an event which – albeit top secret – is being widely talked about through the tweets posted by those participants who are active on the social media. The Argrigento authorities are represented by the Mayor, Lillo Firetto (in the photo with Page and Schmidt), and by Nicola Diomede, the Prefect.
  3. Well , thanks to this article, we now know WHY Leo is in Italy, he is there to attend the very exclusive/invite only Google Camp In the photo below you can see , beside his pal Damon who we saw in video, he is with his pal Aviv Nevo
  4. The new pix above is from the UK Sunday Times interview Unfortunately you have to be subscriber to read the whole interview , but posting the introductory paragraph https://www.thetimes.co.uk/magazine/culture/brad-pitt-and-leonardo-dicaprio-on-quentin-tarantino-once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-metoo-and-the-high-price-of-fame-njbfdswrw Barbie Yes, the old pretending to be on phone as a way to hide part of his face Jade Love seeing del Toro comment on Once I did read that they have been doing screening of it for BAFTA and Oscar voters
  5. Leo is in Sicily with his pals ! I don't know whether he is there prior to a Rome premiere tomorrow or what , but he is there with pals
  6. Some snippets from HR interview with Once co star Julia Butters https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/once-a-time-hollywood-julia-butters-reveals-luke-perry-came-her-rescue-1227075
  7. This article ( showing new pix of Scorsese from Friday ) seems to confirm that Flowers of the Killer Moon project is happening, and that DeNiro is joining the cast However, on the downside it shows filming not to take place to NEXT SPRING AND SUMMER , which would mean it wouldn't be in theaters to some time in 2021 https://www.tulsaworld.com/entertainment/movies/killers-of-the-flower-moon-will-be-filmed-in-osage/article_541a81a9-77bb-52e4-9544-08521c4e1011.html sap675 The only overseas Once premiere dates I've seen list are July 30 London & August 1st Berlin
  8. Jade As to Cinemascore , some make a big deal of that claiming that is great predictor of future box office But one has to remember their polling / sampling doesn’t include the vast numbers that view a film As per WOWS it’s score was C and it went on to earn $392 worldwide Leolover I will be so happy when all here have a chance to see the film & Leo’s terrific performance Rick at times can be maddening , hilarious , heartbreaking , or as my friend described him =unlike the perfect facade of a tv hero = he’s painfully human And while I hope others don’t “spoil” the finale before all of you see it , spoiled or not, it won’t diminish your enjoyment of his performance 👍
  9. I'm back from a very enjoyable Once viewing and update on box office Hooray For ‘Hollywood’: Quentin Tarantino Sees His Biggest B.O. Opening Of All-Time With $41M Jade Tks for all the great Once updates
  10. Leolover Tks , wow that pix from his new photo shoot , I love it Also great pix of the gang from Cannes Barbie Love the Euphoria reaction
  11. I couldn't resist posting this review tweet
  12. Another interview video with cute interaction between all when asked about their favorite Mexican food https://remezcla.com/culture/leonardo-dicaprio-pupusas-better-tacos/ Spoilers etc Yes, at IG people are already posting in the insta story bits of the film they filmed , and some even posted some in an IG post, but , I noticed they were quickly taken down At same time I have now seen at least 4 articles that explain the spoiler ending' , so , one not only has to avoid regular moviegoers spoiling the ending, but we have websites already posting articles discussing the ending So yes the game from now on if you don't want to be spoiled = is avoid Twitter/IG / and some Google articles Fortunately for me I'll be seeing it before the day ends
  13. If you recall long ago in an article when Leo was speaking about when he first saw Luke Perry on set , he mentioned that he was with one of 'his' friends who has small part in movie, so at the time we speculated he was talking about pal Vinny Well, one of the other actors posted a pix of himself on set , and it shows Leo's pal Vinny Another Rick Dalton pix sap675 Glad you enjoyed it ! Leolover Tks for more pix of Rick Dalton
  14. sap675 Hope you enjoy it 👍 I’ll be seeing it tomorrow , I can’t wait !!!!
  15. Re the scene Tarantino added on during the ending credits
  16. Shepherd You continue to spoil us, may it gone on forever
  17. Re the Leo /female director discussion First , I agree with comments made by my fellow posters . Leo's choices are based on subject matter that interest him , to explore a character that interest him , and if the director's vision and script is one he shares /is interested to explore His choice is not dictated by whether one is a male or female director , or whether your name is George, Mary , or Bob, or if you were born in the US vs German vs Mexico, etc , or if you hair is blonde or red , your are tall or short At same time, I agree with comments made to me long ago by another long time fellow Leo fan : Research will show that ever since Titanic people have been "telling /advising' Leo what he should do . Whether it was their faulting him for taking a year off after Titanic, the fact that he doesn't do movies every year, the fact that he mainly does dramas instead of comedies or romcoms , etc And instead of listening to all these 'outside voices' Leo has instead listened to his inner voice , as well as, the voice of the 'muses' that he respects He has , like Frank Sinatra, chosen to do it 'his way' , and I rather suspect , he always will 👍
  18. Be still my heart Rick Dalton’s headshot
  19. lindsey romain @lindseyromain · 8h ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD: i'm trying to orchestrate the perfect tweet but i really can't. it's almost bittersweet how long i waited for this movie and how much i wound up loving it. i'm still abuzz with affection. it's just wonderful.
  20. I loved what Scott Wampler said about friendships Brandon Calvillo Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is hilarious, hypnotic, nostalgic and surprisingly one of the most heartwarming movies Tarantino’s ever made. The ending is incredible but will be very divisive. As a whole it’s not going to be for everyone, but I think it’s one of Tarantino’s best. Scott Wampler™ @ScottWamplerBMD · Every Tarantino movie has it own subtle (and not so subtle) flavors. ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD is all the Tarantino flavors at once. It’s the movie he’s been working towards for three decades. I loved it. There's a million things to say about ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, but they'll have to wait for a while. I can say, however, that I was unexpectedly moved by the portrayal of Cliff and Rick's relationship, and the many things this film has to say about best friendships. In particular (and this is just my read, no spoilers), I like that the film addresses the idea that there are no heroes or sidekicks in a true best friendship. No matter what strengths or weaknesses you bring to the table, you're equals. Best friends are each other's heroes. Brian Koppelman @briankoppelman · 10h Taking the whole Billions writers’ room to see Once Upon A Time In Hollywood at the first screening tomorrow. If you’re there, I apologize in advance for laughing and clapping so loudly.

  22. Leolover Tks for more new movie stills from Total Film article. Unfortunately I haven't had much luck finding these foreign magazines in my local stores, but , maybe, I'll luck out and find this one. As I do love that great closeup of Rick at the wheel
