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.

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.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Range again today. A few freezers and a few smoothies. If I add a little speed I swing further arms go deeper and lower and more across again. Really like where this freezer got to on backswing:   This is a smoothie (ish). Clubhead tracks up the hands nicely but the things go a bit wrong: At normal speed: Lastly one shortish pitch shot. Pitching some days I come out and can drop it on the flag. Other days it’s going sideways. Like missing right or left by 10 yards from 50 yards and nothing in between. I suspect it’s from the hands coming out and the cut across. If I release it on that line it’s going left. If I hold it off it’s going right and then it’s timing. When it’s off it’s off. Feels like if I can get that under control it will tighten up a lot.

      Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

      By Elmer · Posted

      Disney's Lake Buena Vista Golf Course. Which I believe used to host a LPGA tournament. Fantastic course, compared to what I typically play. So fantastic I carded a 115! in my defense it was 90 degrees by 9 am in late July. Not to mention whatever grass they had around the green was absolutely foreign to me, I could not get my wedge through it. The entire grass came up like it was a piece of shag carpet. Suffice to say my short game was a mess. but good times!

      The most important thing in my mind was Akshay responding all day Sunday. He was 2 over and five back at the turn and just get grinding. bridies galore and then on the fifth he bogeyed and on the sixth he played it far enough right that if he missed a little left it would be right by the hole. It was and he made the eagle. Stayed in it, kept playing great and kept getting pars. He very much deserved the win.
