Thanks, Frink!

I really like Living Daylights... especially the opening scenes. It has been several years since I last saw License to Kill but I still found it to be unsatisfying to me. I'm curious what a 3rd Dalton Bond would have looked like, but I wouldn't trade GoldenEye for anything.

The wife and I watched The Departed last night. As I predicted, she really liked it. It seems like we've been watching a lot of DiCaprio recently (He so dreamy!) and I have to say that this is probably his best work. I really liked Inception, but I don't think it specificly due to DiCaprio's performance. In The Departed, he's definitely more of a highlight. Also: Lots of cursing.

From imdb:

237 F-words and its derivatives, 6 obscene hand gestures, 16 sexual references, 23 scatological terms, 32 anatomical terms, 5 mild obscenities, 3 derogatory terms for Italians, 3 derogatory terms for African-Americans, 1 derogatory term for Irish people, 1 derogatory term for Chinese people, 3 derogatory terms for homosexuals, 4 religious profanities, 10 religious exclamations

It's a little excessive.

Also, has anyone noticed that Scorsese's films often have really bad continuity? Just simple stuff, like a guy leaning forward in one shot, and then he's leaning back in the other actor's coverage, and back to leaning forward in the next shot. I first noticed it at the end of the Aviator where 2 characters are walking and talking... it cuts to a close up of them where they are stopped, and cuts back to them walking and talking and then they stop and face each other. Back to a close up of them stopped and talking. Then back to them walking and talking... normally I'm not the contnuity police, but it seems to really stick out in these Scorsese films to me for some reason.
