The re-Departed?!

What in the bloody hell is hollywood doing now? They're planning a prequel and a sequel to "The Departed". Why? Has everyone with something original to say been shot and this is the fucking result? I mean why? Scorsese just released the remake, I'm willing to bet that it's better than the original, and it was one of the best films of the past ten years. It was amazing and then now the scavengers are gathering around the film. They've all got forks and knives just salivating on all of the money they can make without actually having to put an original thought on paper. It's all rehashed tripe. I mean why even make movies anymore? Even "Little Miss Sunshine" had a bit of "National Lampoon's Vacation" in it. Finally when Scorsese releases his best film since "Goodfellas" it's jumped up on like fucking carrion. I saw a preview for a new film starring Shia Lebouf, I forget the name but it should just be called "Rear Window 2007". At least Depalma had a masturbating Melanie Griffith in his remake. Damn it.
I've lost faith in the hollywood system. It's all about the money and not at all about the content. I guess we've just got to wait for the cycle to return us to a somewhat auteur led film movement, the 70's for example.
I'm just saying that if Scorsese wanted a fucking franchise he would have been involved in the whole goddamn thing. The real bad guys here are Warner Bros. they're the ones who own the name and all of that other paper worky stuff. They're probably making the teaser trailer as we fucking speak.
Why? Because they can.
To quote "The Departed"

Frank: How's your mother?
Random guy at bar: She's on her way out.
Frank: We all are, act accordingly.

That interaction could be relevant for the 70's auteurs in this day and age. Speilberg's the big exception.

Have a good day and just for my sake, have an original thought.
