Re: The Departed
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] great movie. i'm curious about how many times i'll want to rewatch it. [/ QUOTE ] I've had the same all time favorite movie for 23 years, but from what I've heard so far about this one, I'm optimistic that it may be in contention. [/ QUOTE ] Just curious, what movie is that? [/ QUOTE ] The life and times of Tony Montana. Not sure why exactly, but I think it's the only movie that I've ever seen that totally entertains me, and even makes me laugh. I'm sure most movie aficienados will scoff at that choice, but what the hey.

Manny, look at this. Pelicans fly, come on pelicans. Oh, here it is [/ QUOTE ] I can just picture Oliver Stone in his hotel room in Paris doing lines while writing the screenplay. Yet I absolutely loathe "Natural Born Killers" and can take or leave "JFK"

Re: The Departed

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] The thing I am shaky about is whether or not I like how the ending came...because they handled a certain character MUCH differently in the new one. [/ QUOTE ] I like the internal affairs ending a lot more. [/ QUOTE ] This ending was a necessity though based on how they handled the Damon character. The original ending just wouldn't have worked without the turn thing. [/ QUOTE ] ***Some Spoilers*** I disagree. The very last scene is a lame typical american tie up all the loose ends / don't let the bad guy get away with it ending. [/ QUOTE ] if you never saw the original would you have that big of a problem with it?
