The Real Reason This Movie is Not Available In US and CA


Leonard Dicaprio's testicles are clearly visible when he is sitting on the booth and talking to Jenny Lewis about he would have been just another notch in her belt!

Amazingly gross and embarrassing!

For Leo that is.

Are you freakin' serious? ^

No, it's such bad quality you can't tell and even if it was they could easily edit it out... it was shelved because apparently it was a "student film" and leo and toby did it as a favor to help their friend...until they tried to release it as a feature and it's low budget and although Leo's acting is actually pretty good, there's couple small part bad actors..maybe Leo and Toby didn't want to tarnish their career with this more less independant movie, when theyre making high budget $250,000 movies now a days

Also, yeah Leo does some "full frontal" nudity in Wolf Of Wallstreet

Hi there. I was a writer and producer of Don's Plum and unfortunately most of the information you've been given is incorrect. If you would like to learn the truth visit freedonsplum.com and read my open letter to Leo. Thanks.

You can also watch the film there!

reply

And you don't think your letter is biased at all? Not interested in your one-sided story. I want to know the truth.

reply

Regardless of what you think his "bias" might me, his perspective on the events is as valid as anyone's, maybe more so given DiCaprio's and McGuire's effective banning of this artists work. It's amazing to me that in *beep* like this happens today. Pretty draconian stuff.

reply

Tobey Maguire's sworn testimony isn't enough for you? If you read the letter you would see that I did the best I could to tell the "truth" using Leo's own words and Tobey's own words. There were four people involved in the controversy. Leo, RD, Tobey and me. I used Tobey's words as he spoke them in his deposition, Leo's remarks to the press (which snowballed into a PR smear campaign again the film and it's director), and, of course I gave my account of all the events that lead to Don's Plum being suppressed in the US and Canada.

reply

Hi, your letter is quite long to say the least. Could you please tell us in a nutshell the reasons on the censorship, I would be greatly grateful. Thank you

reply

Yes, the letter is long - the whole story is much longer. Sadly, I can only guess as to why Leo and Tobey set out to destroy Don's Plum. Of course I was involved, but the reasons that we turned a short film into a feature film or that we were going to pit the press against Leo don't add up, so there must be a different reason. Here's what I know, I know that there was only one person in all of Don's Plum, cast and crew, that wanted Don's Plum to "burn" and that was Tobey Maguire. I believe that Tobey thought he was out shined in Don's Plum by Kevin Connolly in particular, and I think that Tobey didn't want to see Kevin or RD Robb (or me for that matter) succeed ahead of him. That may seem outlandish but let me tell you that Hollywood is a viciously competitive business. Kevin Connolly didn't hit until 2004. That's nine years after we filmed Don's Plum. Tobey's star was rising just as we finished editing Don's Plum. If the attention shifted from Tobey to Kevin and/or RD it could have threatened Tobey's career trajectory. So he made up a bunch of lies, got Leo extremely upset and that led to Leo making a terrible mistake. That's my take on it. Maybe someday Tobey will speak about it and we can hear his side. I'm dying to know!

Leonardo has done full frontal nudity in a film twice already anyway, he didn't seem to have any problem with that!

Did I miss something? When did he do that???

I watched just a little of the beginning of this on You Tube a couple of nights ago - and I saw exactly what you saw. I can't quite figure out what the point is. It looks like he's not wearing any underwear, and that there is a HUGE hole in the crotch of his jeans. I think it's pretty obvious that those are his "goods" just hanging out there. If it's not that then I would sure like to know what.
It looks like the entire movie is on You Tube, so I'm going to watch it soon (and re-check that opening scene). LOL

reply

However in the following scene on the booth it seems he's got a white shorts underwear on.
Same in the elevator scene at the beginning.
I wonder whether he just forgot to wear anything under the jeans in the first booth scene. :)

I know. You're right. It's difficult to see what exactly is going on down there. LOL

reply

And you say this is in the opening scene?



I guess I'll cut my losses, and turn my tricks at the magic show..

How does one "forget" to wear underwear, especially, in crotchless jeans?!

He was wearing underwear... what you're seeing is his balls draped in underwear material. SOURCE: I made the film.

reply

This isn't available because the film probably depicts behavior a little too close to Leo and the "Puss_y Posse" member's real life behavior.

They were all pretty sociopathic from back in the day. DiCaprio's done a good job suppressing that part of his life, and he has grown up quite a bit. People forget that he was a bit bieber-esque back in his day.
