sorry if someone has already brought that up but I was reading threads about "The Departed" on imdb.com and I thought I'd better ask our respected film buffs here what are your thoughts on this flick. I think it can be a great Scorsese classic, since is his comeback to the gangster-genre, but I wonder why does Marty refuses to cast De Niro, Keitel and some of his old-school buddies. I'm sure he wants to rewash his work, and I aprecciate that, but he could cast one of these guys once again.
