Have you seen every single film that is up for best picture this year? What's that? You missed "Letters From Iwo Jima?" You didn't get out to see "Babel" or "The Queen" despite your best intentions? I bet you saw "The Departed" though didn't you? Of course you did. Why is that you suddenly ask yourself? It's because you're a red-blooded, scotch drinking, strip club frequenting guy. Own it, pal! You are what you are and ain't nobody can take that away from you. Sorry, I slip into Apollo Creed tones often when I want to express a point. The truth is, I don't think that "The Departed" is going to necessarily win. I just bring up the conversation because I know that seems to be the film that everyone really made a point to see. It doesn't mean it's the best, it just means it's Guyville's favorite.
