I think the martin scorsese angle has got to be one of the ******* dumbest, worst developments they've ever come up with. Scorsese made a career out of working with a major actor in different periods. First Harvey Keitel, then DeNiro etc, then he did a ton of stuff with Leo DiCaprio. Why in the **** would he ever, ever, go near an actor as horrible as Vincent Chase? And not horrible in terms of how bad Adrien Grenier is in reality, but how bad he is within the world of that show. It was such a cop out.
There's no evidence what-so-ever that the character of Vince is a bad actor. In the show, James Cameron put him in the highest grossing film of all time, and after that he made one bad movie that may or may not have been his fault. The show seems to hint that some people don't like his work, but that in no way means the show is depicting him as a terrible actor. As far as numbers go, Vince = DiCaprio seeing as Titanic was the highest grossing movie ever. I think you're misunderstanding the entire point of the show. It's portraying how you can be very talented, and have bad luck, and end up in the *******-or you could make it huge with no talent-it's trying to show that anything can happen in that industry. If you think they show is saying that Vince is a terrible actor, you're not watching. There are people here who simply hate the show, and any positive ending would have been a "bad one" because they don't seem to get the show.
