What's next? Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Kate Winslet, James McAvoy, Cate Blanchett and Lee Pace in a movie by the reanimated corpse of Alfred Hitchcock? (Dear lord, don't even put that cast together. It will start with me laughing maniacally and end with an even more twisted version of A Clockwork Orange.)

Shutter Island: Yet Another Reason for My Declining Mental Health
No, no, no, no, NO! I can't take this anymore! Enough, Hollywood! Enough with the awesome movies that are literally driving me insane. I was already up to Annie Wilkes mode because of Sherlock Holmes and now you drop the Shutter Island trailer on my lap. Seriously, are you trying to drive me to full-on Norman Bates craziness? Robert Downey, Jr. as Sherlock Holmes is more than enough to occupy the rest of my year, but now I've got another Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese movie to deal with. You realize that I love them both to pieces? And that each of their movies together has been better than the one before? Logic dictates that Shutter Island will be better than The Departed. Let me repeat that: better than The Departed. Only one of my favorite movies of all time, and Leonardo DiCaprio's career best. Plus you've gone and thrown Jackie Earle Haley into the mix. Honestly, stop fucking with my mind. The guy who stole Watchmen and Little Children is in this movie. With Leonardo DiCaprio. And directed by Martin Scorsese.
