Jonah Hills opening with Leonardo DiCaprio was also pretty funny.

I sure wasn't expecting Leonardo DiCaprio to stand up from behind the couch...

Leonardo DiCaprio has actually turned into quite a good actor. I really loved Aviator, in fact, I may just go watch that now.

Leo has been hitting the smokes pretty hard...

narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio? huh?

narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio? huh?

I am so torn. I love Christopher Nolan's work.

But Leonardo DiCaprio is just SO hard to like.

Shit like this makes me want to become super rich and famous, build the world's best treehouse and then put a sign that says 'No Leonardo DiCaprios' on the outside.

How can you mistake this for australian?

Because only Australians, New Zealanders and apparently South Africans can tell their accents apart?


Wooo, OK at the risk of this discussion becoming a tad pedantic, I need to clarify this misunderstanding. I think the reason that the common "white" South African accent (because there is a difference in accents between groups in SA, albeit now slowly disappearing after Apartheid) gets mistaken for Australian is because it is not widely recognised. People hear it, think, "Blimey, what's that...its not any of the British ones, not Irish, not American or Canadian....IT MUST BE AUSTRALIAN!" If you actually listen to the accents there is DEFINITELY a big distinction. American & Canadian is a lot more related to each other, same goes for Aussie and Kiwi.
The South African accent (and by extension, Zimbabwean accent) is fairly unique. It's also known by actors as the hardest accent do to correctly. Leonardo diCaprio did a fairly decent job with his in "Blood Diamond".


>> ^Payback:
Server sounds British-Indian...


The server speaks with a fairly standard black South African accent (again, just explaining that there are accent differences between South Africa's groups...I'm not a racist! )

Anyone else hear about Leonardo DiCaprio signing on to play the founder of Atari in an upcoming movie about him?

-Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle" (Appian Way, Leonardo DiCaprio's production company, is working on it)
-Card's "Ender's Game" (in pre-production now)
-The "Foundation" books by Asimov could be a really cool trilogy (or more) of movies, too
-And about a hundred fantasy titles by Piers Anthony, Raymond Feist, Robert Jordan, etc.

Nga Phe Kyaung Monastery in Myanmar. This place is a famous tourist attraction. From a nice article in the LA Times here: http://travel.latimes.com/articles/la-tr-myanmar20mar20

"The Intha are known for the strange way they propel their small wooden fishing boats. The fisherman stands at the stern, balanced on one leg, and rows with the other leg by wrapping it around the oar, leaving both hands free to work the net.

Although this method of fishing is unusual and something to see, it's starting to be overshadowed by some unlikely local residents — Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Tina Turner, among others.

Our driver cut the longboat's engine, and we glided gracefully toward Nga Phe Kyaung, the abode of these local celebrities. Nga Phe Kyaung, an 18th century Buddhist monastery built from teakwood on stilts over the lake, is known more affectionately among its visitors as "the jumping cat monastery." For more than 20 years, the monks here have trained their cats to jump through hoops.

U Nan Da, a young Buddhist monk, met our boat. He led us inside the temple, where Chinese green tea, roasted barley and bananas are served to those who visit.

As I sat on the teakwood floor sipping tea, a feeling of peace prevailed. Beams of light streamed through the open windows, and the eyes of 64 golden Buddhas seemed to watch me from every angle. I sensed another pair of eyes, those of a curious cat, but when I turned to look, it had disappeared.

"That's James Bond," the monk said.

I laughed, but he assured me he wasn't joking.

"He is a very secretive cat," he said. "He likes to watch, but if we try to catch him he always escapes. So we call him James Bond."

Sucks in Basketball Diaries that Leonardo DiCaprio got the lead. Jim Carroll was so ugly they blurred his face in this video and in the movie he's movie star gorgeous.

We need more ugly actors for da realism.

This video includes many clips from the Leonardo DiCaprio movie, "Basketball Diaries."

If you watch closely, you'll see a few seconds of a controversial scene mentioned in the Wikipedia article about the movie:

"Controversy arose again in the wake of the Columbine High School massacre on April 20, 1999. The film contains a dream sequence in which Jim enters his school while wearing a black trenchcoat and shoots several students and teachers with a shotgun while his friends cheer him on."
