Saw this under odd circumstances the first time, and am a fan of Infernal Affairs, so despite my love of Marty, I never clicked with The Departed. Watching it this time almost 20 years later, I emjoyiut much more. It's probably not really a Best Picture and it's definitely not Scorsese's dirrctoral masterpiece, but it's a lot of fun. I still don't know where I am on the Nicholson performance but with him having been retired for some time now I realized that I missed him and this was a beautiful reminder of what a fucking maniac he was.

Captain America: Brave New World 2025
whose bright fucking idea was it to make Captain America 4 a sequel to The Incredible Hulk, a not good movie that people have largely forgotten to the point that they recast the Hulk after it? Baffling choice.
