Funny, I Don't Remember Anybody Wearing A Strap-On In The Original ... New Shot Of Nicholson in The Departed ...

(Posted In)

wacko jackosmall.jpgOh, Marty ... what are you doing to Infernal Affairs?

A Dutch reader just sent along this photo of Jack Nicholson on the set of The Departed, Martin Scorsese's remake of brilliant Hong Kong cop thriller Infernal Affairs, a while I can't deny it has humor value I just can't imagine what they've done to the story to work in Nicholson walking around wearing a large black strap-on dildo. More and more I'm thinking this is going to be one of those 'inspired by' remakes rather than a 'based on' ... click here for a larger version of the picture.

Thanks to Tommie for the pic.

I... uh... hm. Yeah. I'd bet this is the product of Nicholson re-writing his part, which has been reported on in several places lately.

Still... uh... hm.

so basically martin scorsese could probably just stick his hand down the back of his pants and smear it on a strip of film and have this movie done.

yeah, that's it....go ahead and judge the film before you have even a fucking clue as to what it's like. judge one of the greatest directors of all time before you have a chance to see his work. judge an oscar-winning actor as though you're actually qualified to do so.

idiots.

senecablood...excellent point. What the fuck do these mediocres know about film making?

Hmm thats kinda gross to see nicholson wearing that dildo, esp.him. :(

Actualy jackrules, it's not an excellent point, although I can understand where he's coming from. It matters not how good a director or actor is: if a VIEWER in his experience AS A VIEWER has had bad experiences with things being remade into Hollywood movies; dicovering there's, again, more changes in yet another remake, it would naturally make one a bit nervous about what's being fiddled with.

Going back to reading the article, I don't read "this is going to suck" anywhere. Todd isn't jumping all over it with wild assumptions like the way senecablood is saying he is and is doing himself.

That disgusting thing should be extinguished!



Smoking is a dirty, dirty habit.

this photo is a little disturbing to me. but jack is a very intelligent man, with scorsese at the helm too this film is gonna be interesting. i really think it will rock! jack keep rocking!

Wow ... JustSayNo ... least effective comment spam ever. I'd put it on the black list but they neglected to even include a site URL so it's not worth the effort ...

Anyway ...

I've never said I didn't think that The Departed would be a good film. With the cast involved and Scorsese at the helm it will, at the very least, be very well constructed and very, very interesting. Even when Scorsese's films fail - and he does have a few definite failures on his resume - they do so in interesting fashion.

What I will say is that The Departed has strayed so far from the source material - which I adore - that they probably shouldn't be referring to it as a remake any more. At this point I'll be shocked if anything beyond the two moles makes it into this film from Infernal Affairs.

You know, it could have just been a joke. Nicholson could have been horsing around and someone took a pic.

» Posted by Jeremy at June 29, 2005 07:40 PM

Nope. No joke. I did some digging around and the dildo was specifically mentioned in the rewrites he asked for ...

[Hey, look! Your comment's gone! Funny how that works ... take your flaming elsewhere. The comment gets personal, the comment goes away. Very simple.]

Brown dick, white dick, green dick, no dick (ok, 'no' wouldn't be that good actually)...whatever. I can't wait for the movie. I've seen the original and now I wonder how they worked that in...
Anyway...I think for a 60s-something he's still pretty damn cute. I wouldn't mind if he wraps a dildo around his head, dyes his hair blond and runs in circles on Sunset Blvd. As long as he keeps making movies...go for it, sugardaddy.
;-P

I'd rather see his cock there instead of a dildo...
