Was it the Whale again? It was, wasn't it? I knew it. Clears everyones heads and he just swims to freedom

Spoiler Yeah, it was, damn you're good Ponce, he just jumps and is finally free... You leave the theatre with such a wonderful feeling inside.
Forgive the tags, if I didn't, people would complain (and rightly so too)

We Americans are not creative anymore. Hence all the remakes, sequels, prequals, tv-show-turned-movies, and games-turned-movies.
I dont actually agree with my above statment, I personally have watched several movies and thought they should remake it to update it, and I love sequels, and good updates of tvshows... I am thinking I am part of the establishment's problem of non-creativeness.
Its not creative people who make movies anymore! Its accounts! Movies are gambles! In order for studios not to lose money on movies that love safe bets. That is why we get sequels, prequels, remakes, Tv Remakes, sequels to remakes, and movies based on theme park rides!

I finally saw it last night, and it's great. Excellent acting from DiCaprio and Damon, and the ending rules.
I want to see this one. I hope Miramax (or if Weinstein Company has the rights) to release the sequel and prequel to IA to DVD since The Departed isn't doing that bad at the Box Office.
So did anyone else pick this up today? If you're planning on getting the 2-disc, I'd suggest going to Best Buy and getting this metal case they have. It's the same casing they used with the recent Boondock Saints SE, but it's got the "City Gun" logo as the cover instead of Jack, Damon, and Leo. Sweet.
post some pics Jersey

I got that too, but from Future Shop. Very sweet indeed. Well worth it, especially up here in Canada.

The Future Shop one I have, and I think the one Jersey Jedi means.

yeah, that's the one. Go to bestbuy.com and check out the weekly add also.
I don't have my camera with me here, but if anyone wants further pics, I will over the weekend.
