Author Topic: Departed, The (2006) Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-04-2007 07:14 PM                        quote: Rob Ferreira The Departed was the best movie of 2006, without a doubt - which could be why the Academy gave it the best picture Oscar. Absolutely! The Academy always does incredible amounts of research to make sure that only the most deserving pictures are nominated in the first place, like Borat for best screenplay. Then the voters study each film meticulously and cast their vote for the absolute best nominee. If something wins "Best Picture", then it is the best movie ever made for that entire year, period. It is scientific, accurate and there can be no argument otherwise.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I agree completely. The names certainly helped. If this had been the same movie, but with less well known actors, and maybe better acting, nobody would have noticed it. Maybe an acceptable TV movie, to watch while gnawing warmed up KFC on a bored Tuesday night when you really absolutely have nothing better to do, nothing more. quote: Joe Redifer The Academy always does incredible amounts of research to make sure that only the most deserving pictures are nominated in the first place, like Borat for best screenplay. Oh shit, I didn't see that, but it's true, incredibly.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-05-2007 04:05 AM                        I just remembered... this movie obviously takes place in the present day since everyone has 9 cell phones, right? Well there was a scene in a porn theater. Porn THEATER. I haven't seen one of those around in a long time. What's more is that it had fairly new seats... the exact same kind that used to be at the UA Greenwood Plaza 12. And they were showing porn on film... you could clearly hear the projector noise in the auditorium. This movie gets an "F" for porn realism.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."
