Her taste in men. I think she chose... poorly.

So she's a bad judge of character ... or, Damon's character is waaaaaaay too frighteningly good at deception.

Regardless, I love her in the movie, even if she makes bad choices. ;)

I think she leaves Boston, moves to Albuquerque and changes her name to Skyler.

And becomes a nutjaub. :-) Lots of critical praise for choice of Gimmie Shelter in the movie if you read around. Scorsese uses it in his other movies, but imho, to no better effect than in The Departed. It's The Stones, man (In Dennis Hopper voice.)

:offtopic: That's Ricky Jay in the YT still. His live shows are amazing. He does all sorts of tricks. He can throw a playing card into a watermelon and make it stick good.

I just made time to watch the Departed last night for the first time since it came out. Loved it. Totally forgot how Martin Sheen died. As for the next film, someone mentioned it before they Departed was chosen, and it's another I haven't seen in years : Memento.

Your weakness is ... Milkshakes?? P.S. If we're nominating movies based on minimum amount of effort then I nominate Sleeping Beauty because it's in my DVD player right now.

I would put forward 2 of my favorite movies. Equilibrium and Serenity.

However, it seems like the nominations are more of the "heavier" variety.

KICK THE FLIP!!

Ironclad: Battle for Blood on Netflix looks kind of compelling.

It isn't five years old. It's a 2014 movie.


It also has a mid-teens rating on Rotten Tomatoes, @Lihu . Please don't make us restrict you from this thread for severe brain farts. You can't guarantee they aren't contagious. :-)

I nominate… @jamo to find the five movies people have mentioned most (if there's a tie it's your pick which make the list and which don't) since Thursday and to make the poll.

      Back in my Army days a "gooch" was a particular part of the anatomy. Example, say Okeechobee is the b-hole of Florida, then Belle Glade would be the gooch. Seems he wears his name well.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DaveP043 ·

      I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory.  The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole.  I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green.  My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing.  The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole.  I ended up maybe 12 feet away.  The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By DaveP043 ·

      For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh.    395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot.  Even I couldn't miss that one.  I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.
