Two For One Deal...
The theme for this weeks MCW is...
Worst Casting...
Goodness... Where to begin...
I surfed, googled, probed the recesses of memory and movie reviews
and had such difficulty in making a decision.
An almost impossible task...
But, I think that I have found a winner...
Two for the price of One...
The movie is Scorceses' "Gangs of New York"
Cameron Diaz as a street hoare and pick pocket...Believable not!
And
Leonardo di Caprio as....
Well... a cute little boy... still struggling with angst ridden childhood memories.
Good grief! Give me a break!
(Leo's best scene ever was him sinking beneath the ice of the north atlantic after he hit that iceberg...)
Both badly cast as the love intrests...and both way too, way too pretty to provide the roles with some semblance of reality and autenticity.
1860's New York and the five corners gangs looked like a pretty shithouse rough and tough place and
neither of these two would have lasted a sowflakes chance in hells gate...
Go on... you know you want to...
Oh and if you hear vomiting from the back stalls ......
Its just me!
"Usher... Another bucket please"...
