    The book was pretty good. Hopefully the movie doesn't disappoint.

    Hm, I for one hated the book. But only because Belfort was clearly in love with himself and using the book to brag about his money and partying. The story is good though, so I'm pretty excited about the movie. Any other director/lead actor and I'd probably just brush it off though.

    Leo and MM should be a good mix.
    Having read both I'm afraid to say it is. They write these books to portray their "guilt" over their lavish parties (or dirty economics) and to expose the wrongdoings in these circles, but they shouldn't kid themselves. They're just bragging about how much fun they had. Belfort wouldn't have quit if he didn't get busted.

    Easily one of the best movies of the year. I wasn't expecting it to be so funny. Go check it out!

    Looking forward to watching this, really solid cast and director. As it clocks in at 180 minutes, it'll be a DVD watch. Can't take the theatre seats for that long any more. Really Marty it takes three hours to tell this story? Break it in two for FS! "Shoah" was nine and a half hours, broken into two breaks and was a far, far bigger story. Glory days when I could sit for 10 hours in a movie theatre...

    Does this movie have a really obvious anti-onepercenter theme?

    Great movie... It has it all. Substance, humor, beautiful females and some hilariously ridiculous party scenes. Upon leaving the theater you may be tempting to order up some hookers and blow, that is probably the biggest negative.

    It might even be a bit awkward to bring a new girl friend too haha, i sat near the front and saw at least 3 people leave. There was a 70ish y/o grandma in front of me that stayed the course though.

    Scorsese is 71. Old folks can appreciate a good party.

    Belfort is a sociopath/narcissist writing as a sociopath/narcissist Which is exactly why it was a good book IMO.
