Uh, no, he wasn’t talking about Avatar…he was continuing talking about when Titanic came out…and Martin Short interrupted him to change the subject about himself, and name dropped HBC. And Bill asserted himself and didn’t let Martin change the subject. So who was the narc? Y’all are just Bill haters, who’d find anything to hate on him for.

Same. That didn't enter my mind until now. I also saw the movie.

[@SnowyNightFlyer]

DeNiro is also much older than the character he portrayed.

[@Tusc9969]

Still ..at least De Niro was playing a senior citizen, which he is himself. Middle aged DiCaprio was playing a young adult character around 25 - 30 years younger...big difference.

[@SnowyNightFlyer]

@@Tusc9969 DeNiro portrayed William King Hale, who was about 45 during the period this movie was set. DeNiro is 80. Perhaps not as important a discrepancy in terms of storytelling, it’s nevertheless an inaccuracy.

[@Tusc9969]

@@SnowyNightFlyer Actually De Niro was 78 when they filmed it but I take your point. My mistake. However, name me one biographical film that's 100% accurate?? I'll wait...

[@SnowyNightFlyer]

@@Tusc9969No, it’s true that inaccuracies are pretty much a regular aspect of historical films. They are not documentaries. I was just speaking to the point of actors being too old for a part.

[@Tusc9969]

@@SnowyNightFlyer you brought up "inaccuracy", and I'm just saying there's no such thing as an "accurate" film based on a true story. I still think DiCaprio and especially De Niro were great in that film in spite of the age difference of the characters. IMO as long as it's well written, well directed, good performances and story is good... that's all that matters. Anything else, is nitpicking.

Did Bill just touch the third rail by calling out Leonardo DiCaprio's age and limitations? That's kind of awesome.

[@suzandouglass5241]

"That Indian girl" 🙄 She carried that film and deserves the Oscar for it. Leo was there to get people into the theaters. A story needing to be told.

[@brcage]

Not really. Quit being woke.

[@ion6538]

Her performance was wooden and forgettable. She’s getting awards because she checks a diversity box. And not just any diversity box, the elusive Native American diversity box. Their presence in Hollywood is few and far between. So when they appear in something it usually gets rave reviews.

[@real_ozzy]

She was great in her limited screen time but she did not carry the film... you're crazy lol. She was in like 9 minutess of the whole thing. DeNiro and Dicaprio carried the film.

[@decemberkat]

You are right! It’s how the FBI was formed and its US history. I’m from a different tribe near that area and it’s always been wild to me how these families have lived so close by still! Trust me it gets way darker than this movie ever tells!Angie Debo wrote about it 2!

[@Sam19509]

This is such a great take Bill. lol maybe the academy thought the same thing that is why they snubbed Leo for a nomination for Best Actor this year. This movie should have tried to cast Austin Butler fresh off his Elvis fandom to play Leo’s role.

[@NomoOrelSax]

That's so true, like Martin, I hadn't thought about that 😂

[@douglaslindsey7512]

Capote Vs. The Swans tells the story of acclaimed writer Truman Capote, once a confidante to society's most elite women, whom he nicknamed "the swans." However, his act of betrayal effectively destroyed those relationships, banished him from high society and sent him into a spiral of self-destruction from which he would ultimately never recover. Watch that instead.

[@usware5240]

[@williamtudyjr6665]

Orlando Brown, Beetlejuice and Martin Short are the funniest Humans ever! Mel Brooks and Patrice Oneal are on the tier right below.

[@ion6538]

Scorsese needs to give up his obsession with casting Leo in all of his movies. Leo had a feminine baby-face when he was younger, and now has a bloated pumpkin head as a middle-aged man. He often doesn’t have the right “look” for these characters. In The Aviator he was supposed to play a mature Howard Hughes, but wound looking like a 12 year old kid wearing a fake mustache. In Gangs of New York he was supposed to play a tough Irish hoodlum, but came across like a try-hard pretty boy.

[@brando7266]

Leo has been oversted from the beginning, but he checks alot of boxes for Hollywood,

[@stormy7722]

i would agree except execs want someone marketable and tbh, who else are u gonna get? Not a HUGE amount of talent floating around out there in la la land. ( pun intended)

[@84paratize]

it's based on a true story though

[@kennethdee1385]

I thought about DiCaprio's age for 10 seconds. After that it was irrelevant. An older white man could still be attractive to the young woman and Maher knows that. The film originally, like the book was intended to focus on the formation of the FBI NOT the Osage, with Leo playing FBI agent Tim White. Di Caprio lobbied to take the screenplay in a different direction. Since he was probably under contract already for a hefty fee and was intensely immersed in the project, they let him run with it. I think it worked out fine. High Noon and Gone with the Wind have the same issue. I wonder how old the women Bill dates are ? 4:13

[@raffin2040]

Haha. Fun clip. Love the movie talk!

[@fabiorangel9187]

In AVATAR: WHERE ARE ALL THE MOSQUITOES ??? I don't get it. Pandora has a lot of big animals who supposedly eats smaller beings. If Pandora is so biodiverse, why the na'vi never get problems with insects, fungi, bacteriae, virus, parasites?... That's why some don't get Avatar. 😄

[@CATDHD]

People were older back then. I say more, some people around me (CIS region) in their 20s look the same as Dicaprio now. Bill should go out more.

[@tokyodirect4594]

The movie was also boring.

[@BreathingAir]

I didn't realize that about Leo's character because it was never explained, it just assumed you already knew what the hell was going on.

[@BonnChnd]

Bill has a point about Leo, but for me, Lily Gladstone and DeNiro were the standouts so I really didn’t focus on Leo.

[@gostling]

This is how I felt about Johnny Depp in Rum Diaries as well. The two of these guys they try to keep young lol.

[@davidbc5023]

Yeah, even though Johnny was aging gracefully (at that time) for being his late 40’s, he liked maybe mid-30’s. But the thing that makes me not think he’s a fresh emerging gonzo writer is his voice.

[@steveconn]

Leo was actually pretty good, worked hard. Rest of movie so enervated and slow, though.

[@ivantuma7969]

it defense of Avatar ... the second part "The Way of Water" kinda touches on the friction between tribes ... that it wasn't all kumbaya. The movies also remind me of a quote from Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel ...."“Why you wh|te man have so much cargo and we New Guineans have so little?" ... every encounter of indigenous cultures with Western civilization led to this question. In 90% of cases - if they didn't have it, they wanted it. Why is it, that even Indians on reservations today use ATVs and firearms to go hunting - instead of horseback and wooden bow and arrows? Because it's less expensive to fill a small tank full of gas (even if its derived from biomass) than to feed and maintain a horse ... and it's more humane and safer to take out a large animal with one 30-06 bullet than five guys shooting arrows at close range until it succumbs. I think in Avatar 3, the N'avi come around and eventually become corrupt :D Eywa, for all her harmony, never took the N'avi to the stars - and likely doesn't have the power to save them from the inevitable death of their sun.

[@CatoLongHair]

I noticed that too, but his love interest was a bit older so it wasn't so bad...but yea, he did look a bit old for the naive soldier, totally agree.

[@jukesters123]

Avatar wasn't a new story just like Episode 7 of star wars wasn't a new story.

[@fumblerooskie]

It's is a time honored tradition in Hollywood to have an old guy play someone 30 years younger. They did it ridiculously in 1995 in Crimson Tide, where Gene Hackman, at the age of 64, played a nuclear sub commander 🙄, and then again in 2020 with Tom Hanks (63) in Greyhound incredulously playing a WWII destroyer captain. Oftentimes the old fart gets to play the love interest to someone decades younger, such as Brando in Last Tango in Paris or Nicholson in As Good As It Gets. Probably the best (or worst) example of this is Buñuel's absurd That Obscure Object of Desire, where Fernando Rey played - at 60 - a completely out of place suitor to two actresses much less than half his age. He looked foolish in that role.

[@brando7266]

Brando's performance in last tango was mesmerizing

[@johnjagemann6210]

I dont think Martin Scorsese approached Leonardo Di Caprio saying “I got De Niro… We are going to get all the Oscars..” They were both very interested in telling a story of American History and exposing to the masses. This guy is tripping for even assuming that Martin Scorsese approaches his art that way.

The original Native Americans were people more closely related to Pacific Islanders. They arrived along the coast.

Leo still looks far younger than his years. Whereas a James Dean looked older at 24 than Leo does in his 50s. eh There was a definite maturity to Dean's generation. Could Leo have convincingly portrayed Jett Rink in "Giant" at 24, having to age into his Middle Age?
