The Departed- go see it

Last night Andy and I ended a long drought of movie going and saw The Departed which is the best movie I have seen in a long, long time. I really like Martin Scorsese....Casino is among my favorite movies and of course the recent Bob Dylan movie but the last movie I saw of his, Gangs of New York..I couldn't stand. Anyway, go see The Departed. I won't give away any of the plot but seriously, go see this movie. Be prepared for a lot of racial slurs, cursing, homophobia, and violence though...LOTS of violence...in unexpected places. Also, Leonardo DiCaprio was amazing in this movie and that's coming from someone who can't stand him. Ever since I had to sit through that horrible horrible film Titanic I can barely watch a movie that he's in. I mean at the end of that movie why couldn't Kate Winslet just move her big ass over and then they could've floated on that piece of wood together. The whole movie was just idiotic...compounded by the fact that I needed to pee the entire time with the water rushing everywhere on screen but my friend wouldn't let me because I would miss three minutes of what was supposed to be one of the best movies ever. Anyway...he is really great in this movie.

Before the movie a preview for the new Rocky movie came on...people in the audience clapped for the preview. Apparently New Yorkers are pretty pumped about the new Rocky. I was disappointed b/c there was not one Milo Ventimiglia clip. New York audiences are really funny..they like to clap and ooh and ahh and even shout things out during movies. At one crucial scene someone was about to get shot and a man screamed "say good-bye to Hollywood" it sort of broke the tension but still amusing.
