Sons of the Emerald Isle
Last night I watched Scorcese's The Departed. On balance a successful film, it kept me tuned in for the full ride. One difference between this version and the earlier film from Hong Kong which inspired it is that the gang lord, in this instance Jack Nicholson's homage to Whitey Bulger, was far more center stage. A review will be forthcoming shortly.
But for now I want to share this zinger from the film: Freud said that the Irish are the only people "impervious to psychoanalysis".
