Scorsese's The Departed was on TV the other night.

I hadn't seen it in years and it starts off really well but the actual end is a bit fucked up to say the least.

You mean the final scenes in the lift and after?  Have you worked out the whys yet?
Although i hold the original Infernal Affairs in the highest regard, I loved the Scorcese tribute version.

Why?
I never really thought too much about the whys....feel free to share! I actually love that movie.

Didn't realise there was a "why" to be worked out in the movie. The story is fully told in the film.

Thought the Departed story was fully told in the film myself.  Decent film but is definitely over-rated.

You're so smart you obviously had it all worked out before the last bullet hit the target.

I was answering Johnny Cool who didn't like the ending,  I wondered if he had worked out all the angles of the shootings, the why of the sudden emergence of the  second snitch and why he was instantly shot  etc etc, because I thought the ending was quite good.
Obviously if you liked the film, you liked the endings, there's no hidden mysteries to be revealed.

Watched  Dating Amber  last night on prime and enjoyed it,  funny and poignant with an excellent cast and a  good soundtrack as well.

Thought it was shite to be honest, all the comedy was in the trailer basically and it didn't examine the characters closely enough to make it worthwhile as an exploration of their angst.

Each to their own as they say.

Started to watch the big short about a year ago, wife lost interest in it about two minutes so rather than watching it I put it on the back burner.

Watched it tonight, cracking show

Margin Call from the same era was quite good too.

Quite enjoyed the Eurovision movie. Cheesy as hell like and not going to win any awards but decent. Great music in it.
