At least he likes Scorsese ...

"I look at movies and they're all so f@&^ing terrible. People ask, 'Why aren't movies more successful?' It's really a simple answer: It's because they stink. Three simple words: Because they f@&^ing stink. That's four words, but you can't write the f@&^ing word. They stink, they stink, they stink, what's wrong with you? They stink. Do better movies ... Finally, I saw a good movie -- 'The Departed.' And look what it took: It took Marty Scorsese, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, [screenwriter] Bill Monahan -- and it's based on another movie."

In addition to "The Departed" I read that Helen Mirren is good in "The Queen," although I think Scott Thompson could have made a go of it.
