Hopefully you don't see your mom or dad nudge each other during any of the sex scenes and whisper "remember the good ol days honey".

Departed was a good movie. Sure its a copy of the Chinese version which was also well done as well.

It's called a remake. One of the best remakes ever made in fact.

Markie Mark is a lot more likeable now then he use to be.

 

Eh, I still hate him

Wahlberg is the man. He can be a great actor when given the right material and right director.

Thanks for the semantics.

He's honestly the only actor I can't separate his real life with his characters. He's a huge douchebag to say the least

I have the same issue. Very rare that I have this problem (Roman Polanski is probably the other...Sean Penn too), but knowing that Mark Wahlberg beat a guy to the point of causing him to be blind, and not even apologizing for it or compensating the man for it is disturbing to say the least. He also made some very disparaging remarks about the Vietnamese population during the beatdown...not cool Mark.

He beat somebody up? He's so short though.

To be frank, I bet the guy he beat up wasn't very tall either. Average Vietnamese height is not that tall especially if he immigrated from Vietnam. I'm 5'9 and considered very tall for a Vietnamese person.

Who did he beat up and why did he even do that? ugh

Just two random Vietnamese people when he was a teenager, probably some other people as well, but he got convicted specifically for that assault (attempted murder actually). If I had to guess, it was probably racially motivated given the racial epithets that he had shouted out during the crime. He was a teen back then, didn't necessarily know better, but it was more the fact that he has made no attempts to make amends with his victims that doesn't sit well with me. He feels guilt, that's nice, but I just feel he never righted the wrong. His reasoning was that he made up for it in other ways and forgave himself. Which I find cowardly.

With my mom, no problem. But with dad, impossible. I watched Departed on TV with him, and he switched the channel and yelled at the screen when Jack Nicholson brought out his dildo.

See it's opposite for me. My dad might say the language is a bit much in a film like the Departed or WoWS, but mom would be a no go. Though, she did love the Sopranos

[DAR]

I never knew that about Wahlberg. I know he told us Donny D was on the back up, drug free so put the crack up

[ladyevenstar22]

watching HER right now, its certainly unusual, like a curveball from the norm

right now i'm at his date with olivia wilde character/amy adams did not recognize her right away lol

Wow. I never knew that.
