Who Won the Movie?

Approx. transcript time · 01:52:13Read transcript
  • DeCaprio is proposed, as last time, followed by "Yeah. I agree." — Bill Simmons
  • Martin Scorsese, who won Best Director at the Academy Awards. — Sean Fennessey
  • Pushback: the question is who won the movie, not who made the best movie, and Leo wins it.
  • The Scorsese case: a $300 million movie, the two biggest movie stars playing opposite each other, and the long-awaited Best Picture and Best Director. — Sean Fennessey
  • Still Leo: one of the most important actors of a lifetime, who proved in two and a half hours that he could do anything. — Bill Simmons
  • Thought experiment: Leo needed this movie for his stretch but was already Leo; without it Scorsese likely never wins Best Picture or Director and becomes Charles Barkley.
  • Sides with Sean's pick of Scorsese. — Craig Horlbeck
  • The tally is tied two to two; the Scorsese case is seen from a career standpoint, but Leo wins the movie; both did it, and there are many winners.

  • The Oscar-bait run of movies like Regarding Henry looks bad in totality. — Sean Fennessey
  • Raymond crashing the sex scene also goes here: weird, though it somehow works. — Sean Fennessey
  • The car-import business scenes with Lenny are one and a half too many and five minutes too much, like someone gave Oliver Stone an eight ball to write two Lamborghini-importing scenes. — Bill Simmons
  • The economics of Charlie's business is flagged and deferred to a later spot. — Bill Simmons
  • The stigma of card counting starts with this movie, yet they don't seem to win enough for the casino to turn on them; up 80 grand in 1988 is guessed at about 400K now. — Bill Simmons
  • Crowds in Vegas do not gather behind random winners at a table unless it is someone like Tiger Woods or Charles Barkley. — Bill Simmons
  • Card counting is not illegal, and being called into the manager's office for that amount seems ridiculous; trouble usually starts in the millions. — Sean Fennessey
  • There is no law against counting cards unless using a device; casinos push out players who crush them over months, not for one night. — Bill Simmons
  • Tom Cruise trying to smoke cigarettes ages worst and is suggested to have cost him an Oscar nomination; fans are invited to make a montage of Cruise smoking in movies. — Bill Simmons
  • Cruise learned to fly a plane, flip pool cues and drive a race car, yet smokes like an idiot, holding the cigarette like a tree stump, usually at a diner. — Bill Simmons
  • Hoffman smoked through the Bernstein role and could have given him advice; Cruise also learned a back handspring for The Firm. — Bill Simmons
  • Bad smoking on screen is called a passion; Cruise clearly never had a cigarette, holds it sideways and never smokes it, because his body is a temple. — Bill Simmons
