I watched this movie too many times and when I see it now it just feels like a nostalgia trip :(

Funny, I used to go to Sway Lounge on Spring St. a lot circa 2000 - I didn't realize then that the Emerald Pub across the street from it was the "Terminal Bar," or that Miss Beehive '67 Teri Garr's apartment was right next door to Sway!

I still find it odd that Scorsese's only ever made two straight up comedies, given that they're both all-time classics

scorsese is usually pretty good at comedy. goodfellas is almost one, the departed has moments funnier than most actual comedies etc

Ellerby: Our target: microprocessors. Yes, those. I don't know what they are, you don't know what they are, who gives a fuck?

I was referring to WOWS but yeah I think a credible argument could be made that the Departed is a comedy, albeit a gruesome one. Watching it I certainly don't feel any kind of concern or sympathy for any of the characters or the overall plotline, feels like almost everything - the violence, the combative dialogue, the betrayals - are played for laughs.
