The Departed (2006)

What a film. What a cast. Everything was just perfect. Like everything. Maybe Scorsese's best?

Man I am feeling so empty inside because you spend the entire film rooting for Di Caprio and that happens...

So many deaths.

Probably the only film I liked Wahlburg in.

9.2/10

You had not seen Departed before? WTF

Wahlberg is also good in Shooter.

Watched Street Kings with Keanu. Good Cop movie. Elements of it reminded me of End of Watch as well as Training Day. Then I looked up the Director and it's David Ayer who made Training Day and End of Watch. lol

The Raid 2 is a great undercover cop movie. The first Raid is also a great movie in of itself.

There's also Infernal Affairs which is the Chinese movie Scorsese adapted for The Departed.

Wahlburg was good in The Fighter as well, if we look passed Christian Bale's showstopping performance.

I find the Departed very overrated tbh, i don't even like it really.

To the point i don't really understand the praise it gets, i can think of at least half a dozen scorsese films i prefer.

YEHHHHSSSSS, the picture of motion known as The Departed was MEDIOCRE, DEFICIENT and WRETCHED. The DAWDLING pace of this picture of motion caused my mortal vessel to fall into a state of STUPOR.

The HUMDRUM narrative failed to ENGROSS my vessel. It was most certainly not WORTHY of the TREMENDOUS rating it received on the SITE of WEB known as IMDB.

Scorsese ranked:

GoodFellas (undisputed #1)
Gangs of New York
The Wolf of Wall Street
The Departed
Shutter Island
Taxi Driver
The Aviator
The King of Comedy
Casino
Raging Bull
Bringing Out the Dead
Silence
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
Who's That Knocking At My Door
Hugo
Cape Fear
The Age of Innocence

Scorsese really loves Di Caprio. No doubt he would have been one of the trio in goodfellas was he old enough then.

He had a similar relationship going with Bobby De Niro in his prime years as well.

De Niro - Scorsese = 7 (+1 adding The Irishman)
Leo - Scorsese = 5

The Thing (1982)


Kurt Russel is GOAT ffs. Also loving Carpenter's work more and more.

Very good film. That open ending

8/10

J.J. Abrams says #Cloverfield​4 will be a "crazy movie."


@freeza

Didn't see that about Johan Johansson that's too bad. His score for Arrival was incredible.

Can’t wait.

Main man JJ Penis Nose Abrams is the GOAT

He better fix this mess

Actually think cloverfield 4 will be released late this year.

Did anyone see Three Billboards yet?

I thought it was good and McDormand is great in it (as Rockwell and Harrelson are), but I found it, at times, incredibly confused.

It was hilarious, it had many great scenes and cinematography, yet it also was tragic and serious. Those are the good things, but I still found it very confused in many aspects.

I understand that this is, in part, in design. McDonagh makes all the characters flawed, and that should be applauded (the characters do truly all feel very complex and real, and this is partially what allows for such great acting in the film), but in more ways than one, I felt the film was misguided in some of it's overall themes of power, female rage and oppression of minorities by police.

I DID find it's portrayal of small town America, with McDonagh's no holes barred style, refreshing and spot on for the current political climate, however. This is, perhaps, the part of the film that held the most clarity throughout.

It's still a 7.5-8/10 for me, but I didn't think I came out of it thinking about what a great film it was. It was good, it was enjoyable, it's worth seeing, but it's not one of the best movies of the year for me.

I have no idea why it’s an Oscar front runner. By far McDonaugh’s worst film.

It’s fine to good, but yeah, it’s confused. I really don’t know why everyone seems so enamoured with it. It’s like they haven’t seen his other works and the comedy hit more.

Yeah even by judging off the trailer, it seems a bit off. Think it comes out here around the 20th or so.

Decided I'll watch screeners online for Phantom Thread and Call me By Your name, they're actually not that bad quality as ones in previous years.
Then I'll catch I, Tonya, 3 Billboards and Lady Bird in cinema.

Went to see Disaster Artist today. Nothing pretty much but a tribute to Tommy Wiseau. James Franco nailed the performance. The movie is just about 3.5/5.

Everything in the movie is referencing some kind of existing pop culture.

That robot is the iron giant.

EG you never watched After Hours

After Hours is so bad.
