I'm glad that the elements of this film, as you've described them, are lost; the whole idea of restoring this hokey old film is one, big very stupid joke; it's all geek masturbation at its very worst; it just belongs in the permanent dustbin of history.

Payne has shot the film in widescreen black-and-white, a format that inevitably recalls such great ’70s movies as Badlands and The Last Picture Show.

Gregory wrote:From this thread, for example, the conclusion one comes to: too many to list.

Love this convention-busting, thought-provoking New Wave film? Might as well BOW DOWN TO SATAN

I just needed to watch this movie to get it over with, especially hearing that it's the movie with the most f-words ever. I thought, "Wow, really? Let's see how bad this is." Yeah, I'm a film snob, and I never take any attitude or bad words from any movies, and cast them upon others. Thank G-d. With that said, pretty much every single one of Martin Scorsese's movies are so hard to watch. They're dark & sinful! What? Does Martin sell his soul to the devil every time he makes these?

If it's supposed to be "REALITY", we get it, but leave the reality-telling to the professionals if you PLEASE!

What is going through Martin Scorsese's HEAD? Frankly the only film from him I have liked from him is HUGO (2011). A film almost anyone can watch & be mesmerized. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. THIS film is putrid garbage, filled with vulgar language, sexual perverseness, and quite possibly the most unlikable characters ever put on-screen.

Leonardo DiCaprio is quite possibly the worst actor since Jim Varney's coffin - all he can do is shout & swear. How's that "acting"?? Is the F-word the only word in his dictionary?????? Cursing & swearing is a degenerate sarcasm for those who have lost their decent vocabulary. DiCaprio should have RETIRED perhaps after Titanic. There are some exceptions to the rule of course, but most child actors grow up to be talentless hacks; no doubt DiCaprio's one of them. Apparently, why didn't he die, instead of Paul Walker?

It's really sad that the real Jordan Belfort is Jewish. Jewish people are the original chosen people blessed by G-d. Blessed through Abraham, they were given amazing wisdom & intelligence. And a lot more Jewish people got involved in this movie (ie. Jonah Hill, Rob Reiner, Jon Favernau, etc.) It's just SAD that a lot of people are born into this world with a G-d-given intelligence, but they use the totally wrong way for the totally wrong things. They just ruin themselves & other people!

Throughout history, Jewish people have turned out to be incredibly smart & intelligent people. And Albert Einstein, Emma Lazarus, Ben Stein, Larry King, Wolf Blitzer, FRED, VenomFangX, Adam Brody, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Adam Levine, Adrian Brody, Billy Crystal, Jack Black, Seth Rogen, Jerry Seinfeld, Liev Schreiber, Paul Shaffer, Ron Perlman, The Coen brothers, Paul Rudd, Milton Berle, Mel Brooks are just SOME of them.

Even MORE sad that most comedians get their inspiration from Lenny Bruce who was ALSO Jewish - it's just ALL wasted potential.

Hate this movie, hate the characters, hate the language, hate the attitudes & behavior, NEVER in a million years will i watch this again. STOP MAKING THESE KINDS OF MOVIES, SCORSESE!

And good thing it TANKED at the box office, no wonder. I still have faith in humanity. And what WAS with that dumb humming???

Great 2014 is going to be a great year in film, 'cause a lot of good-willed movies based on plots & stories that make SENSE!

1/10 WORST FILM OF 2013, and OF ALL TIME

PS: PLEASE check out the Ken Ham vs Bill Nye Debate on Feb. 4, debating the Creation/Evolution issue - it's worth the watch.

Not in my Top-10 but it is the greatest film ever made.
