It's a sad state of affairs when a remake of a film made about 5 years ago gets an Oscar... Scorcese, as much as I admire him as a director got this one on a sympathy vote.

Stu, I keep preaching man, but they just 'aint listening.
I agree, it shouldn't have won in my opinion. It's very good, but not the best, and I do think his Oscar should not have come from this film. Sympathy vote indeed.

still haven't seen INFERNAL AFFAIRS but i have it on my netflix list

Mate,
Infernal Affairs is not to be missed... 1 & 2 are brilliant, really gripping stuff. The third one is a throwaway, and not that good at all.
Departed winning Best Picture and Scorcese getting Best Director just sums up the Oscars really. I don't take them seriously. Departed is an inferior copy of IA(1)... IA didn't even win an Oscar, although I believe that it was nominated for Best Foreign Picture back in the day... it just doesn't seem right really.
I would say Babel was a great film in 2006. Anyway, I am off to watch IA and sulk like a baby. Seriously Floop, if you haven't seen this then at least watch 1 and 2... 2 is a bit of a Godfather Part 2 style of movie but possibly better than 1... both are excellent though.
** Just found that they are considering making Departed 2, but not a copy of Chinese IA2, which is a step in the right direction.. apparently bringing back Mark Wahlberg and introducing De Niro **
Cheers

The Clopser is certainly back... out of rehab, where he has spent 3 years hiding away in a dark room trying to cure his ten a day wank habit. 
I haven't posted for years, but thought that I would drop in and say hello to you all. I hope all is cool on the FB forum.
I can't help but think that if they'd resurrected the late great Freddy Mercury it could have given 'The Queen' a good enough twist to steal Best Film. Sadly, technology these days ain't up to scratch. In fact, The Queen was a good film in terms of acting.... but Babel should have got it, thats the best movie Ive seen in a while.

Which one, the old 'Bureau De Change,' or the Elliot Smith one (changed yesterday)?

I just saw the Departed, I thought it was great. A little depressing, but really well done. Reading recent (clopser) posts, I know want to see Infernal Affairs. And the Departed sequel with De Niro!
maybe I'll kick it

Or buy it. Why should Scorcese get all his cash (not literally)?
