Matter-of-fact, it's SO underwhelming, that I have to revisit it every 3 years because I forget it. "Hey, a Scorcese flick...I have to review it", then I watch it again, and it's like...meh"

The Departed was the shit

You KNEW she was going to fuck him over from the GET go. "I'm going to put a shitload of money...in an iron BOX...and...only YOU have the key". Sharon Stone: *drooling* Wow...you really trust me, huh?

Deniro had to do absolutely no acting in this movie. "Just stand there, with a cigarette". They could've pulled this movie off with a cardboard cut-out of him.

I don't even think they had a friendship, tho...they obviously KNEW eachother for a long time, and were aquaintences, but I think they were more "cool with eachother".

See Dinero. They told Pesci..."Just be a prick". "Take your character from 'Goodfellas', and parody HIM".

>- All the other Italian guys were basically the

>this was not the case in 'Goodfellas'.

Yep.

>- Didn't explain the actual organized crime aspect
>very well.

The most intrigue it had was how to create a job-title to evade the gaming commission, and how ol'girl carried diamonds in here hair. Other than that, it was just Pesci mugging people.

>- James Woods? Meh. He always plays a good sleezeball.

and he overdid it lol "Where are you? Where are you?" WTF?
