2. Worst. Masterchef. Ever.
3. Contact lenses? Very Fields of the Nephilim circa 1990. Someone’s been to Asha.
4. “Funny like I’m a clown? I amuse you?” If Joe Pesci wasn’t retired, he could have pulled this off in his sleep.
5. Looks like a step up from Mortdecai (2015). Mind you, what isn’t?
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: Whatever. I’m still processing that Star Wars Trailer.

I think it actually looks good, but I thought it was another movie about the Iceman at first.
According to wiki “There have also been plans for a Whitey Bulger film to be directed by Ben Affleck and star Matt Damon, although these plans have been complicated by the production of Black Mass”
Um, yes please
You a bit of scum glorification?
Hell yeah, loved gangster mafia type movies since I was a kid
How do you know if it is glorification? The departed didn’t do too much glorification. I thought it made the gangsters seem petty and grubby.
Yup. Looks solid. Nice Triumph in the trailer too.
Wasn’t the fictional movie about a fictional Whitey Bulger in the Tv show Ray Donovan called Black Mass?
Woah there, Drogg! That’s a bit meta for a Friday afternoon. Kudos, though.
I have an eidetic memory when it comes to tv and movies, everything else i forget really quickly.
What’s the last decent Depp performance in a decent movie?
The man had so much potential.
Blow.
