I picked up The Departed on DVD about two weeks ago when it came out and I still haven’t watched it. No real reason why I’ve waited … Mainly, it’s not the sort of movie I’m overly enthused over.

That’s not a value assessment, just a reflection of taste. Actually, I often find that when I finally get around to watching a movie I’m not too keen on, it turns out to be great and I become a big booster of it. I certainly hope that’s the case here.

Having picked up four Oscars (picture, director, screenplay, editing), I guess it’s time to actually watch it.

You know, I’ll bet they’re scurrying madly right now to get those “Four Academy Awards!!!” stickers on those DVDs.
