Damn straight

Holy crap, that scene.

Looks good.

That is a very strange trailer, is that guy supposed to be doing a Harvey Keitel impression in the background..

Also David Harbour doesn't get enough credit, his range in characters is stupid good. He can play the most menacing bad guy to a very funny news reporter.

It's that Joe Pesci scene from everything Pesci has ever been in. Specifically this scene from Goodfellas.

" Black Mass is an upcoming 2015 American crime drama film written by Mark Mallouk and Jez Butterworth and directed by Scott Cooper, based on the 2001 bookBlack Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mobwritten by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill ". According to Wiki

Johnny Depp acting like a human male for the first time in a decade. Cool.

He played a non-human female pirate before? I missed that movie.

I really want this to be good. I want Johnny Depp to not be a cartoon anymore (the contacts aren't really helping with that though). The guy can put on a show, but I don't think I can take him seriously anymore. Finding Neverland was the last time the guy didn't seem like a total alien.

the acting will probably be pretty solid, but why the fuck does he look like Gollum?

Feels like he's channeling Jack Nicholson's part from The Departed. Which is appropriate since apparently Jack based his performance off Bulger. It's like some sort of actor's Inception.

"The Departed" was loosely based on Bulger's life. I think "The Departed" was overrated, and I'm hoping this movie is much better.

I think it's meant to be a play on a black mass, as in a Catholic mass

Black Mass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And mass as in Massachusetts


And if you wanted to get really artsy fartsy, you could make some comparisons to a malignant tumor, but I'm not sure that was ever intended.

The black mass/Massachusetts thing is almost for certain
