We Hate New York. Again

Relapse number 1,374 comes courtesy of this review of the Departed in the Observer.

"In Martin Scorsese’s The Departed, a remake of the 2002 Hong Kong hit Infernal Affairs, the dull waters of Boston Harbor take the place of the spectacular Victoria Harbor; the barren avenues of South Boston fill in for the glittering, seedy roads of Kowloon. Boston, unsurprisingly, makes a rinky-dink substitute for Hong Kong. The new movie is forced to use an abandoned six-story building where the original had an occupied 23-story tower.

We’ll refrain from pointing out that in one of the better Irish Mob movies, it takes a cop from Boston to come in and clean up Hells Kitchen and kill Ed Harris. Oh, wait, we just pointed it out.

Regular readers will recall we saw the Departed this weekend
