The Departed = Sweet Theatrical Delight

Alright so my last experience at the movie theatre wasn't the greatest. In fact it nearly traumatized me for life. But I re-watched Moulin Rouge with Danielle on Tuesday and that reminded me that not all movies are shit shows. And tonight? Tonight I saw The Departed. And that folks... restored my faith in modern movies. That is what a movie should be. Realistic yet totally done up. Foul-mouthed yet really sweet and kind of paranoid. Two and a half hours of pure jaw-dropping, cringe-worthy, laugh-out-loud, cover-your-eyes yet don't-look-away... sweet theatrical delight. I do realize I sound absolutely crazy but I don't even care. That was my idea of the perfect movie.
