Rendered down, TWoWS is just a shallow story about arseholes and I'm tired of arseholes. I'm sick of their greed, their shitty marriages, their retarded personal development; everything, basically. I get that they're supposed to make the world go round and I get that Martin's pointing us at the fact of their gumption and initiative like a dog directing our gaze to the last sausage on the plate, but it's not enough when we've been led to expect lasagne. So don't believe the hype. The Wolf of Wall Street shouldn't be award-bait and it's not even particularly good. I sincerely hope Scorsese pulls finger some time soon.
