Why is the name in Swedish?

[nenjin]

Why is the name in Swedish?

Because it's set in Sweden.

Because it's set in Sweden.

Not to be confused with the 2003 drama/horror film set in Sweden, Midsommer

I havent seen it but it sounds good.  Personally I think Leo is bad in almost everything he's in.  He was the worst part of The Departed and could barely hold his accent.

The worst part of The Departed? You mean, other than the entire movie being a reeking heap of utter trash?!


Edit: oh, I guess I should probably say something constructive in here rather than just rubbishing one of the worst movies ever made, huh? Well, most of my screen-time lately has been taken up with Arrested Development, but I did watch Train To Busan the other day, which was surprisingly good.
Also I re-watched The Chumscrubber, which is a pretty weird movie and probably also rather angsty (I did first watch it as a teen, so probably didn't notice), but I have a soft spot for it.
In other re-watch news, 12 Monkeys. Damn, it's just as great as I remembered.

Oh and I've been doing a social media thing that involves posting a picture from a favourite movie each day. Shit's fun.

You have some, uh... Curious notions if you think that The Departed is one of the worst movies ever made.

Like, there's the entire Uwe Boll catalog to go through before we reach that point. Are you sure it's one of the worst movies ever made?

Oh, please. The Departed was fine. An entirely passable movie fare. It did have some shitty bits in it, but how can anyone single out Leo as the worst part, when there was also Jack to pick on.
Nicholson was either so bored he didn't care, or so high he couldn't focus, or maybe it was the moment in his life when he decided to embrace the old age senility. Whenever he was on screen the editor seemed to have gone into hyper mode, cutting every three to five seconds, as if that's the most the actor could manage to remember of his lines before drifting off into drooling and mumbling. It was jarring and horrible, and I felt sorry for whomever had to deal with this shit on set.
In any case, the film is better than the Korean one it's based off.

Excuse me, but I’m pretty sure the movie’s actually called The Depahted

I will always love The Departed if, for nothing else, than the absolutely filthy BAHSTON accents. The shit talking characters to do with each other in that movie is great.

"Who the fuck are you?"

"I'm the guy who does his job. YOU must be the other guy."

I stand by my opinion on The Departed. Certainly not the worst movie ever made, but it's certainly up there, especially considering how many actors I like were in the mix.


Anyhow, I just watched Dazed and Confused for the first time. Kinda fun. Also tripped me out seeing the source of a fair few classic reaction gifs - not to mention incredibly young, barely-recognisable versions of certain renowned actors!

I liked the departed.  And the ridiculous editing is just martin scorcese being himself, I thought that part was fine.  Leo was the bad part, everything else was good.

I'm really surprised there's this many people who don't like it.

[scriver]

I like it too. Jack Nicholson is just Jack Nicholson being Jack Nicholson. It's not like he's been good in anything since at least the 80's and he always plays Jack Nicholson.

I have no idea why you dislike LeonardioCaprio in it. I can't remember anything being bad about his performance.

Bruce Willis is always in the best dumb action comedies and also the Expendables (which is dumb action, but is not the best anything). Death Becomes Her? RED? The Fifth Element? Lucky Number Slevin? Diehard?

He was also involved with Fifth Element, but Unbreakable was watchable by the same director.

one of the worst movies ever made

I doubt it was that bad. Adam Sandler wasn't even in it.

[Eschar]

I re-watched Back to the Future. It was just as great as I remembered. I'm going to watch the second one soon, as I remember enjoying it as well. Too bad they never made a third one...
