DVD Screener season is kicking in
Smaug is popping up all over today online (watching a stream in background right now actually).
Im torn on this one, because I cant stand the thought of that assclown in Wolf of W.S. openly celebrating how he ripped all those people off. The guy still owns money to his victims.
Go with Smaug. Its always better to take advantage of the movie theater (large screen and sound) for the movies that have special effects. Wolf can be enjoyed just as much at home on flatscreen on couch.
Edit: Agreed. I was still adding more when you commented. Take advantage of 3D at theater for Smaug.
Go with the Wolf

Didn't vote, but I really enjoyed American Hustle. I'm in the minority that isn't a huge fan of the Hobbit movies, so my choice of those 2 is obvious, but I didn't vote because if you're contemplating the sequel, you're a fan.
That, and I know someone that worked on the fx, so i'm curious to see more of the stuff he did, I mean, outside hand punching the hair into the hobbit foot prosthetics.

Out of The Furnace was great. Bale, Casey Affleck
Secret Life of Walter Mitty looks good
and as someone else said, American Hustle

TRUMP 2024!
I slept through the Hobbit but the wife liked it.
Hobbit in HFR 3d (IMAX if possible). Don't see it unless it's 3d HFR as you won't be seeing the real movie.
OIC
save for future use:

Wolf because it's Martin Scorsese.
"You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole; you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."
just about every showtime was sold out @ 2 theatres yesterday, also tried getting celtics tickets for yesterdays game ( and they suck) and decent seats were going for $350 lol
I guess thats why I slept through most of it. The action scenes just went on forever and at 1 point it looked like a video game. Just shit thats too unreal for me.
American Hustle DVD Screener has been leaked on the internet today.

Electus CEO Chris Grant is planning an uplifting show that sees former financier Jordan Belfort stepping in to help others who have hit rock bottom.
The real-life inspiration for the hard-partying financial swindler played by Leonardo DiCaprio could be TV’s next reality star.
From the first pages of Jordan Belfort’s outrageous 2007 memoir, The Wolf of Wall Street -- in which he shares staggering tales of drug-taking excess as he scammed investors out of $110 million throughout the 1990s -- Electus CEO Chris Grant was hopelessly smitten with its larger-than-life narrator.
“I knew without even seeing a picture of him that he could be a talent both behind and in front of the camera,” says Grant, an enthusiastic book collector who runs the Ben Silverman founded studio behind such series as Fashion Star and Mob Wives.
Grant tracked down Belfort, who, after serving 28 months for his crimes, now works as a successful motivational speaker based out of Manhattan Beach, Calif. The pair then worked together to devise a pitch tailored to Belfort’s “unique set of business skills.”
The result is an uplifting show that sees Belfort, now 51, stepping in to help others who, like him, have hit rock bottom but still hold out some hope for redemption.
Interest has been high for the project among those networks that already have met the author, says Grant, who describes the reaction of several execs to Belfort’s magnetic, made-for-reality personality: “He was described to us after leaving the room as ‘TV gold.' "
Since its Christmas Day release, the Martin Scorsese-directed Wolf of Wall Street has grossed north of $30 million at the stateside box office. The R-rated film was widely praised by critics but has also seen some backlash over the portrayal of Belfort's crimes.
Christina McDowell, who stated that Belfort had once been chosen to testify against her father, wrote a critical open letter published in L.A. Weekly addressed to the filmmakers. "Your film is a reckless attempt at continuing to pretend that these sorts of schemes are entertaining, even as the country is reeling from yet another round of Wall Street scandals," she argued.
He's not seeing a dime of this money if that helps you feel better about seeing it. From a recent FB post:
As you can imagine, I am very busy right now, but I owe this post to all my loyal friends and fans who have supported me since the beginning: For the record, I am not turning over 50% of the profits of the books and the movie, which was what the government had wanted me to do. Instead, I insisted on turning over 100% of the profits of both books and the movie, which is to say, I am not making a single dime on any of this. This should amount to countless millions of dollars and hopefully be more than enough to pay back anyone who is still out there. I thought this was already public information, as I have already said it publicly numerous times, but apparently there is so much NOISE right now that it has gotten lost in the shuffle. So, again, for the record: I am not making any royalties off the film or the books, and I am totally content with that. My income comes from new life, which is far better than my old one. (Although I will admit the Quaaludes were kind of fun, at least in the beginning. Thankfully, they’re illegal! and impossible to find!)
"You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole; you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."
Well, skip Wolf of Wall Street.
I feel like I was swindled out of $12. I was poised to love this movie and I came out feeling like I wasted 3 hours on a Saturday night.
A real thin Goodfellas with no energy, bite or tension. Yeah, it displayed Belfort's wretched excess but after the first half hour I was bored.
Scorcese's worst movie in 50 years.
Characters are one dimensional. No character development. Nothing interesting or compelling about Belfort or his sidekick played by Jonah Hill.
Include me on the list for restitution.
