The Departed

[dolemitesooner]

Well I will say this. It is very rare that I walk out of a movie and say"Damn that was a god ****ing movie."

When I walked out on Sunday I said "Damn thats a good ****ing movie"

My favorite movies of all time are in no particlar order, Pulp Fiction, The Godfather I,and II, The Usual Suspects,and Citizen Kane. This was up there with all of those movies.

It was un****ing belivable.

Go see this movie. I am going again

[sanantoniosooner]

I thought this was going to be another post about Mike Stoops.

[Petro-Sooner]

Thats exactly what I thought when I saw the Scooby-Doo movie.

[birddog]

i saw it on sunday. the acting was flawless.

i almost got a semi. almost.

[Hatfield]

i ahve already started this thread.

but you said basically the same thing.

bset movie have seen in years

[KaiserSooner]

I've been wanting to see this. Tomorrow night, maybe.

[Rogue]

Doleo: "Told ya so."

[soonervegas]

I am a huge Leo mark. Find Leo and you usually find a pretty good movie. Can't wait to see it.

most chicks feel that way

[Viking Kitten]

Reservoir Dogs > Pulp Fiction. Otherwise, Doleo's list is solid.

[Viking Kitten]

Doleo was right. Damn. That was a good ****ing movie. The only thing that bugged me was the psychiatrist chick and her big, distractingly fake collagen lips. I wanted to punch her. Then again, the movie probably brought out some of my latent violent tendencies.

Martin Scorsese is seriously awesome. Think I'll pop in Goodfellas right now.

[Frozen Sooner]

Yeah, I thought the psychiatrist was the weak link of the movie. But that was a seriously great flick.

Was he allergic to water?

[soonerbrat]

i almost went to see that today...wish I would've now.

[Frozen Sooner]

Hm. Why do you assume the psychiatrist was a man? A psychiatrist would have a field day with that one...

Just not this psychiatrist. Because she wasn't convincing in her role even slightly.

And judging by the amount of man-water she took on in the film, I'm guessing that she wasn't allergic to water at all.

My guess is it was a vague reference to Unbreakable.

Frozen Rich and I discussed it at length:D

for the most part i agree with this

this spoiler is real, do not read if you haven't seen the flick, or actually give a **** ;)

i think it's in his contract that he dies in all of them

Well, water was his weakness in Unbreakable. ;)

[Frozen Sooner]

Hm. And ghosts can't cross running water.

I think M. Night just doesn't like to bathe or something.

[silverwheels]

Hey doleo, would you say that it's better than X-Men: The Last Stand? :norm:

[soonerinabilene]

best movie i have ever seen. im not a big leo fan, but if he doesnt get best actor for this, i'll be shocked. walking out of the theatre, my gf asked what i thought of it. i said i seriously think it was the best movie i had ever seen. went and saw it again, and now there is no doubt.

YEPPERS ITS ****ING UNBELIVABLE

[yermom]

i need to see it again

[Czar Soonerov]

It's apparent you people haven't seen American Ninja 4.

[colleyvillesooner]

I thought Alec Baldwin was good comic relief...

I'm going out side for a smoke? You wanna come? Wait, you dont smoke, **** you :D

Alec Baldwin and Marky Mark were both really good in their parts. I had no idea AB had such great comic timing. Then again, great directors like Scorsese can bring out the best in their actors. Has Sharon Stone ever before or since been as good as she was in Casino?

How many times has he hosted SNL?

[Viking Kitten]

You'd know... you're the pathetic lame-o that stays home on Saturday nights.

How many times have you properly used quotes? ;)

[tbl]

Alec Baldwin was definitely funny on SNL, and he's the only decent thing on that new crap show on NBC. His Pete Schwetty skit was in the top 5 SNL moments of all time.

Back to that matter at hand. For those that have seen the movie:


What was in the letter that he gave to her that she was supposed to open if something happened to him or if he called her? I'm assuming it was something that exonerated him, but they never actually said.

Was Mark Wahlberg a rat, or was he just getting street justice? Maybe he was the recipient of what was in the letter?

It wasn't stated, but I think it's safe to assume that the baby was Leo's. Right?

Pretty stinking good movie.

It was a detailed description of what was going on and who the leak in the department was.

No. Street justice.

Yes.

[yermom]

while, i guess it's possible it's Leo's kid, where does it hint that it is?

Marky Mark didn't need to see the letter to know who Leo was, but i think he did to know who Matt Damon was, the letter probably said to find him and tell him, specifically, since he was the only one alive that knew the truth about his identity

I think the hint is that Damons character had sexual problems (remember her telling him it happens to a lot of guys and it's not that big of a deal?), plus they actually showed the love scene with her and Leo, so you KNOW they had sex.

I still don't think the letter was made clear. She already knew Damon was the rat (even though Leo didn't know that she knew when he gave it to her). I think what was in the letter had to have something to do with telling Wahlberg about it.

I wish they hadn't left that stuff open. I don't like to think and guess... ;)

[jk the sooner fan]

i just saw this tonite

wow, what a great great movie.....just awesome

i agree that the shrink chick was the weak link in the movie but i guess it was the easy way to connect the two outside the department

[OUinFLA]

Yep, I just saw it tonight too.
PPV.
Dang good flick.
The second mole shocked me. As did Matt shooting him

[skycat]

Must have been Departed night.

I just watched it too.

Liked it a lot, but maybe not quite as much as some of you. Really good movie though.

[colleyvillesooner]

watch it again. You'll like it even more when you're not focued on the plot.

[Rogue]

Best "new" movie I've watched in a couple of years. I agree with Froz on the blacked-out Q&A. Wish I knew how to do that trick.

[SCOUT]

The wife and I watched this last night, although I have actually seen it before. We both loved it. I wish there were more movies that we driven by the characters and the plot instead of things like pyrotechnics.

Scorcese deserved the Oscar for this one.

[tbl]

It absolutely deserved to win. My wife liked it too. I went to the movies and watched it solo (I have no problem going to the theater alone), then I rented it the other night so she could watch it. I kinda figured she'd like it, but I didn't think she would as much as I did (I also really enjoyed it the second time around). I think the eye candy she was treated to didn't hurt things either... and by eye candy, I mean I was butt naked on the couch while the average looking dudes were on the screen.

Do you go to the one's in the seedy part of town where men wear overcoats, even in the summer?

[tbl]

No, just the regular ones for regular movies. Even back in my days of watching teh pron, I never understood doing it any place outside of your own house. Its just disgusting...

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Finally watched this tonight. Awesome cast--of course I've never seen anything bad with Jack Nicholson.

[yermom]

i rewatched like half of this the other day, it's pretty awesome. the dialog is just killer

i wasn't too thrilled with the ending, personally, but it's still awesome

[Blue]

Good, but no Goodfellas. Like there ever will be though.

[Zbird]

Nicholson played his only character ...........................Movie sucked

[sooneron]

Ironweed?
The Two Jakes?
Goin South?
Heartburn?

[yermom]

yeah, he's no Tom Hanks

[Blue]

I disagree. Nicholson plays many characters. Charming-Crazy, Slightly Crazy, Crazy, and Looney Tunes.

I wouldn't want to see him any other way, really.

[King Crimson]

i saw Heartburn. but, honestly, i would have possibly forgotten it forever had sooneron not posted that.

a couple Nicholson sleepers are Antonioni's The Passenger and the Border (with Harvey Keitel). also, obviously, 5 easy pieces is another 70's classic.

[jk the sooner fan]

the movie sucked?

somebody has some really high standards.....that movie was awesome

[Jerk]

I'm not much of a movie-person, but last weekend my wife purchased this on In Demand® and asked me to watch it with her. I didn't want to, but when I saw Jack Nicholson, I didn't quit watching it till it was over. What an actor that guy is. If you want to see Jack Nicholson literally play himself, then watch the old movie called "One Flew Over The Cuckcoo's Nest."

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Ironweed?
The Two Jakes?
Goin South?
Heartburn?I never saw any of those. :D

[jk the sooner fan]

Nicholson does look like every other role anytime he's in a new movie, so i get that criticism, but in my opinion, most older actors do as well......as do alot of the younger ones

[King Crimson]

you mean, except for Tom Cruise.

[jk the sooner fan]

lol - right! :) him and adam sandler ;)

[Frozen Sooner]

Say what you will about Jack, but he's so good that TWO actors play him in every role: Jack and Christian Slater.

[King Crimson]

dude, pump up the volume and heathers were EPIC.

seriously, check some of those early jack flicks i mention before: the Passenger, the Border, and 5 easy Pieces.

[Frozen Sooner]

Heh. I actually really like Pump Up the Volume. Great soundtrack.

[King Crimson]

Heh. I actually really like Pump Up the Volume. Great soundtrack.

yeah, it's got some good stuff. Bad Brains, SY, Soundgarden as i recall.

as a "media" person, i won't say whether or not i've abetted any so-called pirate radio.

[Frozen Sooner]

Don't forget Cowboy Junkies and Concrete Blonde.

[King Crimson]

fair enough. cowboy junkies have a new record out, one of my friends says it's pretty good.

it was kind of the soundtrack bridge between pretty in pink and hi fidelity.

[dolemitesooner]

departed is the SHIIZZ NITTLE

[soonerboomer93]

Heh. I actually really like Pump Up the Volume. Great soundtrack.


i have it on dvd, beyounce...

[soonerboomer93]

oh yeah, and I really liked departed, even brought the dvd back here with me...

[soonerinabilene]

dude, pump up the volume and heathers were EPIC.



dont forget "Gleaming the Cube" and "Kuffs"
