A film critic from the Miami Herald pointed out something interesting about Martin Scosese’s The Departed. Apparently, Scorsese scattered X’s, symbolizing impending doom, throughout the movie paying tribute to Howard Hawk’s Scarface. The guy has a lot more screen shots here.

This has inspired me to pay tribute to Fight Club if I ever meet Paris Hilton. Remember the part where Tyler Durden says, “I want you to hit me as hard as you can.” Well Paris, wish granted.

Jack Nicholson is too horny for his own good. During filming for The Departed which is, surprise, surprise, a remake of the Asian film Infernal Affairs, he convinced Martin Scorsese to put in a scene of him in a threesome and a strap on.

“I thought it would be more frightening if my character had a sexual component . . . so I called Marty up and said, ‘Look, I just thought of what would be an interesting scene of [my character] having wild sex. And in this scene with two girls, one of the girls is wearing a strap-on’ . . . This was my idea and improvisational, and Marty went for it.”

I’ve seen this movie and nowhere is there a sex scene. Kudos to Jack for already defiling a good movie. His reasoning for a threesome was to make his character more frightening… That’s exactly what someone does to instill fear in people. It’ll scare them shitless. I can’t remember how many times guys have pissed their pants when they’ve caught me sandwiched between two strippers.

The only way I would be frightened is if Jack did full nudity and I found out at that instant I couldn’t move my legs because they were asleep. I’d probably start screaming like an 8 year old girl after a boy with cooties kissed me. Cooties are icky.
