Got an epic for later, but for now, very quickly: The Departed.
What an epic film. What a perfectly crafted storyline, what a jaw-dropping cast and brilliant performances. Beautiful in every detail.

And completely fucked over and ruined by the single most unacceptable, blatent, ridiculous piece of product placement. That gives Motorola about 25 minutes of screen time.

Nearly shit a brick when I noticed they actually manage to worm in a few special features that the piece of turd had. I wonder just how much Motorola had to pay to have Scorsese convinced that it didn't pretty much ruin the film whenever they popped up on-screen.

Hmm
Didn't think the film was that good...

Nor the product placement that intrusive :)

Not watching either closely enough then!

Don't let a mobile phone ruin your film.
If only they had watched the Orange adverts.

I wish
I had Martin Sheen as an extra uncle.

Of course the plot was good, it's just a remake of a superior film.

No mobile phones in that though!
