| Dear CK1,
It's Bill "Lyon," not "Lyons." Son, if you EVER disrespect me again, I'll bounce you so far down the food chain that you'll be covering Golden Tee Golf tournaments for the bar and club section of the Northeast Times. Welcome to the big leagues, rookie. Yours in malignance, Mr. Lyon |

| Reading my previous post, it sounds sarcastic. Yeah, I write a little bit of sports for them. What they pay me almost covers the gas it takes to get to the games, but I like doing it and it's good experience. I have an article in the current edition. | |

| I'll cut you some slack on this one, Mr. Damon, as a bad review from a distinguished write such as myself would leave your career in shambles. | |

| Does this mean that I'm going to get a bad review in the News Gleaner's movie spotlight, Gleaner movie screener | |

| Despite the fact that Nicholson played Costello too similar to the way he played the joker, he was great as always.
Lono is right, Daniel Day Lewis was one of the best villains in movie history in GONY. He blew Leo right off the screen. I have been on record as saying Matt Damon and Edward Norton are so far superior to other young white actors like Leo, Ben Afleck, Johnny Depp and such. However, Leo blew Matt Damon off the screen in this one. He was terrific, and Damon was a bit vanilla. |

| What is wrong with you all? here we are, right there in CK1's post, and you all are acting as though we are not. Anyway, Nicholson is good, but I think that he sometimes thinks he is still playing the Joker. I thought Alec Baldwin was better in his supporting role than was Marky Mark. | |

| I agree 100%, Quinny.
Frank Costello: French, you're one in a million. French: TEN million. I'm one in TEN million. |

William Costigan: Cranberry juice French: What do you have your period? BTW....French is the most underrated actor in the movie... |

| I'd have to agree with you on Nicholson, Wolfie... nobody plays a better villain than him. From that first scene when he walks into the corner store, you can't get enough of him.
Pacino, on the other hand, is hit-or-miss these days. He's typically the same actor: loud, cocksure, grating, and obnoxious. Sometimes it's perfect for the role ("Heat," "The Devil's Advocate") and sometimes it can be downright nauseating ("Any Given Sunday," "Two For the Money"). In truth, probably my favorite Pacino performance of the past few years was when he was a bit scaled-down from his usual self in "The Insider." And since we're talking about good movie villains, Daniel Day Lewis as Bill the Butcher in "Gangs of New York" is REALLY good. |

| Well obviously CK1, being the true movie aficionado that he is, would have the common courtesy to put a spoiler notice above his post! I have seen the movie, but for all the millions of people that frequently view this amazing site, that was a very unrhawnhurst- like gesture by Mr. Kiefer. And one quick comment about the movie: I really enjoyed the movie, but I do agree with Chris that there were some unanswered questions. And I used to think that above all other actors, when Al Pacino was on the screen in any movie it was impossible to take your eyes off of him. But Jack Nicholson in The Departed is absolutely ridiculous and you get excited every time he has a line! | |

| How good is it when people don't use me when talking about a movie and tell you the ending without giving a "spoiler notice" | |

| DEPARTED SPOILERS AHEAD, DON'T READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE......
If this movie was 2.5 hours, the first 2:10 was incredibly good, and the final :20 sucked. I don't usually need everything neatly wrapped up for me, but this movie ended with too many questions. That and I knew Marky Mark (Dignam) would kill Damon (Sullivan) because I realized during Costigan's funeral that the scene in the trailor where Marky Mark fired the gun had not yet happened. |

| Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) to a ten year old version of Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon):
Costello: Do you get good grades in school? Sullivan: Yeah... Costello: So did I. That's called a "paradox." Anyway, it was a good movie. It wasn't the instant classic that some critics are making it out to be (too many plot holes), but it's worth the price of admission. |
