Why must Hollywood keep doing this shit?! Scorsese even?!
I just realised that
The Departed is a remake of
Infernal Affairs. ARRRGHHH!!!
It looks like a carbon copy rip-off, yet 45 minutes longer.

Because you touch yourself at night.

I'd just like to advise you that I am going to delete that post at my liberty.

If you had true power, you wouldn't need to keep reminding me of it. You would simply roam the earth being really humble/enlightened, having flashbacks of your Master, and getting into the occasional fight with ignorant misogynists and bullies.

Where's the comic zing in that, eh?

yeah, and that's pushing it

It mainly qualifies because it slipped under the radar with a lack of fuss.

I was too busy hating on Eyes Wide Shut to give Bringing Out the Dead its due.

Oh, and Scorsese recently said that this is going to be his last Hollywood film, because he is tired of the system... From now on, he will only make small indie flicks and documentaries...

I thought The Departed was a good movie actually.

Shit, man. What's with the aggro?

My apologise about the aggro
Honestly though I thought it was a really good movie. So did my friends who i went to see it with. I never saw Infernal Affairs and I wasnt fully aware that The Departed was a remake. That being said, it is factual that most remakes (atleast in compairison with the original) suck in which case
I do want to see Infernal Affairs to see how justly the remake was.

You should see it. There is also an Infernal Affairs II and III, neither of which I have seen.

Damon was good, the casting I thought was great. Mark Wahlberg did a bang up job too.

Remake or not,

Don't bring me into this.
I liked this movie.
Bringing Out The Dead sucked and so did Eyes Wide Shut.
