    What a trio

    Besides this insanely overpriced short film, this year's Killers of the Flower Moon will be the first pairing of Scorsese, DiCaprio, and De Niro and I could not be more excited.

    I am amazed that they managed to spend $70 million on 16 minute short. Each actor was paid $13 million for less than two days of work. Bonkers. Scorsese still fits in some of his classic camera movements but there is some awkward CGI. I enjoy DiCaprio and De Niro making fun of themselves, it's crazy that they had never worked together before. Excluding The Audition, Scorsese will have collaborated with DiCaprio 6 times and De Niro 10 times by the end of this year which is just absurd. Best part of the short is the inclusion of the iconic inside joke of Brad Pitt always eating in his scenes.

    The Audition: A Disappointing Departure from Artistic Integrity in the Glare of Commercialism

    Unfortunately, this short film left me disappointed. It deviates from the essence of art and storytelling, resembling more of an advertisement for resorts and casinos. The involvement of renowned actors and directors in such a commercial venture raises questions about the intersection of art and personal branding. The film's subpar direction and clichéd dialogue make it puzzling why Hollywood stars invest their time in promoting resorts or casinos. It's a stark contrast to what one might expect from their illustrious careers. I wouldn't include this experience on my resume, reflecting a trend in today's acting landscape. Enjoy watching "The Audition" short film, but be prepared for a different cinematic experience.

    Finally

    It's good to see Scorsese team up with his two favorite actors DiCaprio and DeNero for the first time. Yes, it's only a 15 min short movie but it's still entertaining Thank you

    Big Bobby D dislikes the beard

    Apparently this cost $70 Million and the lead actors walked away with $13 million each for 2 days of shooting. Incredible.
