There are people who dismiss Martin Scorsese’s non-gangster films. Sometimes it feels like they don’t even acknowledge the existence of movies like or Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore or The Last Temptation of Christ or The Age of Innocence. These people are going to be more entrenched in their beliefs after the release of The Departed, Scorsese’s balls-to-the-wall return to the world of crime. As much as I appreciate the films he has made over the last decade, there is no denying that The Departed is Scorsese’s best film since Goodfellas. It’s just an awesome movie.

Great moments in police work
He’s got nothing to hide
A man in California is arrested for carrying a concealed weapon … while he was naked. That’s correct … use your imagination.
Or better yet, just read the byline, as the paper reveals the mystery altogether. Jerks.
Breaking, entering and other -ing verbs
A Florida teenager was arrested after breaking into a home and racking up $260 in DirectTV porn charges. You know, most people steal jewelry or something, but this blog understands that the urge is tough to fight, especially for a sixteen-year old. The big question, though, is does this criminal act make him really awesome among his peers at school, or actually rather sad because of the after-effects of said crime?
Beware the ires of the family rodentia
Far back in December of 2005, Russian squirrels attacked and killed a dog. Now, they’re back, and this time, they’re overseas.
Let the Southwest have fire ants. Here on the east coast, we’ve got killer squirrels.
Sign of the apocalypse
There’s nothing quite like starting off your morning to read what could be the worse news possible. It’s Billy Ray Cyrus’ seed, come back to haunt us.
Damn you, Billy Ray, we thought we vanquished you 15 years ago!
