I grant you, it is no Attack of the Clones, Downtown. |

i finished watching "Infernal Affairs" last night. excellent!
it lost a lot, though, after having seen "The Departed." if you haven't seen "Departed," and don't mind subtitles, see "Infernal" first. |

Yep, that's exactly what I did a few months ago, and sorry you DEPARTED virgins didn't get the chance. After first watching INFERNAL AFFAIRS, you can then set the plot aside and just enjoy. Which I did. It's no Best Picture [sorry, Academy, but at least you removed your head from a nether region long enough to hand the poor guy a statue, so thanks for that, except it will always be for this one instead of RAGING BULL or GOODFELLAS], but it's an assured, tight bit of filmmaking which I will buy used from Netflix because I already want to see it again. Like Kubrick, Marty grows on ya.
Re Bostonspeak, even back in Mississippi we understood that pahk yah cah in hahvahd yahd was an exaggeration [Stephen King probably helped us out by using Mainahs as characters, a-yuh]. It doesn't bother me. And no less than major scumbag Gordon Liddy has taught us that headshots are the most effective against Kevlar. So no surprise there either. |
