Leonardo DiCaprio - (Please Read First Post Prior to Posting)

[xxmoonshineandmollyxx]

It is so weird to me the difference in Leo's filmography and Kate's filmography. Obviously Kate has a very good career and is very respected but so many of her movies are just BAD. She's the only good part of them. Leo is better at picking his parts I think or maybe it is just easier for him because he is a man so there are more good parts in good movies available.

If I may, I say,"Dido" fully agreed. In my own observation, Kate always seem tense 😬 and jittery. During her interviews and off-screen appearances. I don't watch many of her movies 🍿, but I believe her self-doubt spills over into her professional decision-making. She's incorporated a few changes to her image I feel she could do without, but at the end of the day, it's none of my business. And probably at the beginning of the day too! Leonardo, on the other hand seems more conscientious about how he comes across. Some may argue not, because of the alleged 25 y/o rule, but I think he broods and broods and broods. Seems like he's not easy to convince. And those around him don't force, but just roll with those punches. Out of all the movies Kate has been in I've only managed; Sense and Sensibility (1995); Titanic (1997); Enternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004); Little Children (2006); The Reader (2008); Revolutionary Road (2008); and Contagion (2011). I like her cinematic expressions. The system is definitely lopsided in opinion.

Happy Belated Easter, as well, to all those who honour it. More screenshots, more nineties snaps. Thank @Magical for the shout-out, if can call it that. Thanks, everyone for the updates 🤠. Credit: LDF, CD, and two accounts I can't translate. He's pretty to look at, even in repetition.

Literally no one has a filmography on the level Leo has. But on the other hand he's barely working compared to his fellas. Like someone here pointed out not long ago he only made 2 movies this decade. It's hard to make bad decisions with so little. Also define "bad" lol

 

It's also more common than some may think that many actors/actresses are making some movies/shows just for cash and nothing else.

Yes Spiderman and his friendship with Leo are the two things keeping him relevant.

“You Won’t Bark for a Thousand Dollars?”: Tobey Maguire Made Woman Scream Like a Seal While Playing Illegal Poker With Best Friend Leonardo DiCaprio

 

Spider-Man trilogy star Tobey Maguire likes the thrill of risk, which is evident in his love for gambling. The 47-year-old star, who made a fortune for himself with his role in Sam Raimi’s films, often found himself in legal trouble for having links to an illegal poker club. And, he wasn’t alone.

 

A-listers, who allegedly formed a part, included stars like Ben Affleck, Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon. Having said that there’s a lot more to the story and one instance related to a woman named Molly Bloom is worth recalling because she felt that Maguire was the worst poker player ever!

 

What’s Tobey Maguire’s Connection With Molly Bloom

 

Tobey Maguire isn’t just famous for giving some of the most legendary Spider-Man films. The 47-year-old star often got hit by legal suits whilst pursuing his love for gambling. And, when it comes to high-profile gambling, one name that needs no introduction is “Poker Princess” Molly Bloom. Maguire and his best friend, Leonardo DiCaprio have an old connection with the controversial lady.

 

The woman who couldn’t fulfil her Olympic aspirations, but went on organising poker games for some of the most high-profile stars. In 2011, Maguire was liked to an illegal poker club, that also involved high-profile celebrities like Ben Affleck and DiCaprio. You may be aware that Maguire and DiCaprio go way back in time as the two often found themselves auditioning opposite each other.

 

Except for both becoming rising stars, Maguire and DiCaprio shared a common love for gambling. Coming back to the Molly Bloom story, two years after The Great Gatsby star settled his litigation, Molly Bloom, the woman known for attracting several high-profile players, wrote a memoir called Molly’s Game. And yea, Tobey Maguire was very much a part of it.

 

Tobey Maguire Asked Molly Bloom To Bark Like A Seal

Molly Bloom stepped into the poker world after giving up her Olympics dream. From getting involved in illegal gambling with an Italian Mafia to having her name penned down in a Ponzi scheme, Bloom wrote a memoir, Molly’s Game following her arrest. In the memoir, she mentioned how an expensive NYC lawyer, Charlie Jaffey helped her after reading her memoir.

 

At one point, she also wrote about Tobey Maguire, who made her “bark like a seal who wants a fish” to obtain a $1,000 chip” while he was allegedly playing illegal poker with his longtime friend, Leonardo DiCaprio. Maguire didn’t stop here. After she laughed nervously, he said: “I’m not kidding. What’s wrong? You’re too rich now? You won’t bark for a thousand dollars?” That doesn’t sound very Spidey-like.”

 

Today, Maguire is a grown man and is a dad of two kids, but who knows he still steps out for a little gambling. As for Molly Bloom, her case is a classic example of how a poker mastermind got away without prison time, by just being honest. The judge ruled that she committed no serious crimes, and sentenced her to 200 hours of community service, one-year probation and a $200,000 fine.

I completely agree💯 No one can compete with Leo, neither a man nor a woman. He's the only one like that.

 

Other (not less talented) actors really make more movies, but it's popcorn movies (which mostly isn't good, but people are willing to go to them)🤷🏼‍♀️

Tarantino movie update

 

Since Leo regrets not making BOOGIE NIGHTS since today this might be interesting for him afterall. Even though he looks nothing like this guy but when did the lack of physical resemblance ever stopped Hollywood?

 

Tarantino Hints That ‘The Movie Critic’ is Based on William Margold and “Won’t Be A Revenge Story”

The Quentin Tarantino “Cinema Speculation” book tour continues on in Europe. Next stop: Barcelona, Spain.

What we do know so far about his next film, “The Movie Critic,” is that it will be shot this fall, the story is set in Los Angeles circa 1977, and the lead protagonist is male.

Tarantino gave us some brand new clues in Barcelona last night, insinuating that this isn’t going to be a revenge story like all of the films he’s made the last 20 years.

“There is a lot of speculation about who it is based on. And yes, he is a real critic, but he is not known […] it will also not be what you might call a “revenge story”.

Let’s give you a brief history about why I believe this next film is about William Margold.

Tarantino’s writings under the pseudonym of Jim Sheldon on the New Beverly website have gone totally under the radar. This made-up character is said to be a critic for the Hollywood Press (a cheap 70's porno magazine that featured mainstream movie criticism).

Tarantino has, more or less, admitted that Sheldon is based on William Margold — who he brings up in his book “Cinema Speculation” during the chapter on Paul Schrader’s “Hardcore”.

In the final years of his life, Margold had his own blog where he mentioned how Tarantino was an avid fan of his film criticsm. Margold claimed that Tarantino was obsessed with Hollywood Press and LA Xpress for 30 years, but he himself has admitted to hating Tarantino's movies.

Along with being a film critic, Margold was also the former director of the Free Speech Coalition and a co-founder of X-Rated Critics Organization and Fans of X-Rated Entertainment. He was a self-proclaimed “porn historian.”

Remember this post. I am almost certain that this next Tarantino film, supposedly his final one, is going to be based on Margold.

I assume this is just connection from childhood. If Leo was like him, it would be known already🤔

Very true- I don't believe he is like that... he is just very loyal.

Yeah, I think Kate works for the sake of money sometimes because she has three children and also because she doesn't get paid $20 or $30 million a movie. I think she makes far less than that for the entire year even if she does multiple projects. I say that because every year Forbes or The Hollywood Reporter publishes the highest paid actors and actresses lists and Leo is always on the actors list and Kate is never on the actresses list.

This is true. But again, I think he barely works because he doesn't NEED to work. He doesn't have children to support and he makes a TON of money on only one project. 

 

A bad movie would be one where the script is poor and the plot is aimless and there is really nothing going for it other than the acting (and that is IF the acting is any good). A lot of Kate's movie are like that imo.

It's always wise 🦉 to have some kind of source 🐱 to help substantiate one's claims. I don't think I've ever reviewed a Forbes article, ever. I figured the old Hollywood standards of promotion for utility is still in effect. You know, we'll keep you relevant if you keep raking in the doe sorta thing. Now that I think about it, I mean without being too forward ⏩, it does seem like Kate is living largely off of the success of Titanic opposed to her male counterpart. Just in terms of viability. Clearly, Hollywood is a hustling place, the actors are always selling their abilities and capabilities to stay afloat. Perhaps the biggest difference between Kate and Leonardo is Leonardo is ever networking. He's always in some billionaire's face, soaking it up on some billionaire's yacht ⛵, floating on sauna-temperatured waters in some billionaire's hot tub. That may not overtly have anything to do with movie 🍿 roles, but it does keep one in the loop. They're both approaching 50 and most actors invest their energies in other ventures that will help maintain their lifestyle. So I wonder what the game plan is, her game plan. Mia is supposed to be entering the acting game. Who knows, maybe she (Kate) does have a few aces up her sleeve. One thing for sure though, the uses for women tend to expire significantly sooner than that of a man ♂️.

My rant: I'm so jealous 🥺 of Oklahomans right now. Why the hell did I have to be born in California? There's nothing good going on! I could have been an extra's extra or an assistant to stand in! Why couldn't I be a part of this film 😭?

I can honestly say I have never heard anyone say they are jealous of Oklahomans. That’s a first for me! 😂

I want to add my five cents about Kate. Of course her filmography is not as good as Leo's (like no one else's), but it's not bad at all. She won an Emmy in 2021 (very deserved) for her role in a critically acclaimed show and starred in the highest-grossing film of 2022. She has about 4 upcoming projects. She's still successful and I don't think she'll retire before Leo (not in this day and age when sexism has finally started to be condemned).

 

Also I don't believe that Leo's phenomenal success comes from his association with millionaires.
