Watched “The Departed” today. really liked it…had low expectations I guess because the last person who I asked about it gave a bad review, but I think it’s easily my favourite Scorsese movie. Everything he’s ever done has gotten such great press but I have always been disappointed by his flicks…this one however was actually deserving of whatever praise was bestowed…more conventional story than his other movies so maybe that was the difference for me…also nice use of the music in editing…

I called someone a cliché this week…which now that I’ve thought about it is probably one of the biggest insults you can give…however I didn’t mean it as an insult (meant more as a light hearted exaggeration)…after all who am I to decide what a cliché is? Unless I am one as well which would give me all kinds of credibility in calling other people one… 😉

Read for a couple hours so far today…Finished “Fortress of Solitude”. Was just OK…only cried once and it was near the middle of the book….what kind of book peaks in the middle 4 pages??? sheesh!!! 😉

This was the type of book Scorsese could make a movie out of…an overly ambitious character drama going through the long boring days of wanna be criminals.

…and in the end nothing really happens.
