Somehow I never made the connection that they were about the same guy Same. When I first read it I thought they had named the wrong movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good vs Evil. One turned out to be the bad seed while the other did good deeds. Curious what they talked about during family gatherings. On the other hand, it just shows what the thin line is between crooks and politicians. Look up the history of Al Capone's "other brother" who had a fairly distinguised military career (rising to the rank of leutenant) and sheriff after WWI (fighting bootleggers of all people!). Yeah, he wasn't completely a boy scout but nevertheless "Two Gun Hart" had an interesting life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a nice kick in the balls to one of the biggest pieces of $&!# out there. I liked both The Departed and Black Mass, though I thought Black Mass was better. Haven't seen the movie (Infernal Affairs) that the movie The Departed was based on but I hear it was a superior film. I'll have to get to watching it one of these days.

HerrDrFunk Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 According to the report below, Bulger's alleged killer was a mob hitman who tried to rip out his tongue as well: https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/01/us/whitey-bulger-prison-attackers-tried-to-remove-tongue/index.html Obviously I'm shedding no tears for a violent lunatic like Bulger but it's absolutely baffling that he ended up in general population.
