that's what im saying. to let that pass over and over again is doing us a disservice!

we just gotta write our own shit.
simple and plain.



i think people have a fear of questioning what is considered great, that it can have flaws, and it can be touched on. I guess the ones against this can say, well lets pretend it doesn't exist but it'll make you naive. but if we turn the table around....


But what makes something great is that it can stand the test of time, which this movie has, over and over.

at the end of the day, i love the movie. and i like departed. i enjoyed the writing in both films.

still....
