It’s being done through his production company, so his name is still attached to it but I have no idea what the turn to TV (and it’s near 10 year production) means about him taking the lead.

Yeah I don’t envisage that if/when it does come out he will be the lead character for a TV show but one can hope.
Amazing film.
I love De Caprio but wasn’t blown away by Once upon a time in hollywood… It was ok, certainly watchable but just seemed to lack anything of great substance and just ticked along then ended.
On another note I’ve got Amazon Prime for my sins and The Mauritanian is a very very good watch.

On a similar point -
I find that when I switch from say Netflix to BBC the sound is at vastly different levels - the worst is when I watch YouTube then switch to another channel - nearly blows your head off.
Is there not an accepted sound recording / broadcasting level that is used across all platforms? Or is something wrong with my TV?
It can happen on the same channel. I used to have this happen sometimes when a show went on an ad break. It’s the settings used at the broadcaster.
You can ‘normalise’ sound level in TV settings. I don’t use this option as I feel any manipulation inferes a distortion. There are many reasons why the sound level changes even from one broadcast on the same channel to another. The biggest difference is from between channels and is mainly due to the quality they broadcast at I think. For me the worst is when certain broadcasts boost the bass as I have a subwoofer and end up having to reset the level (though now I have a TV with easy control of this).
This phenomena is also noticed between CDs well in fact any sound files, most just use the telecommand to adjust between each.
Most of what I watch on Amazon Prime has to be done at about 20% louder volume than I use for any other service.

Almost done watching Tenet but feel like nothing happened in the last two hours.

We watched Sound of Metal last night. Went in some directions I wasn’t expecting, but a really moving film nonetheless.

We watched Get Duked on the weekend. Was very pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable it was.
Was a big fan of him in Perfect Strangers.

I tend to go for feel good films. ‘The Princess Bride’ and ‘The Producers’ (both versions). Also 'The Birdcage.
I quite like M Knight Shaymalan ‘The Sixth Sense’ and 'The Village.
Oh please do tell them to fuck off. A fantastic film series which I bet they fuck up in spectacular fashion

If you get the chance to go to the Kyle of Lochalsh there is a small museum inside the castle dedicated to the film. That region of Scotland is a wonderful place to visit.

It was my favourite movie when I was growing up. Really caught my imagination.
However, I watched it a couple of years back and realised the acting was terrible.

Well, Lambert can’t act. Or verbalise well enough in English to be understood - all his dialogue had to be dubbed in afterwards.
However, having Sean Connery playing an Egyptian Spaniard with a thick Scottish accent, and Mr Krabs chewing scenery as the bad guy is legendary and something a remake would miss out on.

I only recently found out that none of the dialogue in Flash Gordon is Sam Jones. He was kicked off the set before filming wrapped because he kept falling out with De Laurentiis who felt Gordon needed a manlier voice. So he fired Jones and hired a voice actor to dub all his lines, and poor Jones never worked again after Dino dragged him within the industry as being a primadonna.
