All of this is presented by Cooper and DP Masanobu Takayanagi with a lot of class and depth, and Black Mass is an easy candidate for awards consideration on that basis, as well as for its flawless production design. Now, Bulger items are all over eBay and sellers are hoping to cash in on the movie’s buzz.

And the truth is, he pales beside some of his co-stars who didn’t use much makeup at all.
He goes up to check on her despite her husband’s protest, and feigns concern over her feeling ill. “I think it’s more likely that it came from (online retailer) Spirit Halloween“. As long as you go in for Depp and other actors to knock your socks off, it’ll be worthwhile.
As Bulger, he mercilessly kills his way to the top of the food chain in the 1970s Boston crime scene, thanks to a “mutually beneficial” alliance with the FBI.
Bulger was captured in 2011 in Santa Monica, California, where he had been living with Greig. Now 86, he is serving life in prison.
On Wednesday afternoon, there were no Bulger items posted on the Sportsworld website and Castinetti was not at the store to answer a phone call about the current status of the bidding for the jumpsuit. It takes a hard look to realize that’s him behind his balding and pale faced mask of menace. He plans to continue the phone auction until October 4.
A scene in which Bulger maneuvers his hand around a woman’s throat in a barely concealed threat, under the guise of checking her glands for swelling due to a cold, sums up his unsettling persona. This is all compounded by amazement at how William Bulger held such an esteemed insiders’ position at exactly the moment that James Bulger was engaged in schemes of such radical lawlessness, how the ranks of Southie oozed so staunchly around Bulger’s gang to insulate them from investigation and arrest.
Bulger was convicted of participating in 11 murders.
John Birtwell, a spokesman for the Plymouth County Sheriff’s office, said he believed the jumpsuit was not authentic because Bulger had no contact with other prisoners during his time in prison during his trial and because the signature on the suit includes the word “Whitey“, a moniker the gangster despised.
But after a run of fantasy, science-fiction and comedy, Depp’s Bulger is grimly grounded in reality, and a welcome reminder that Depp’s talents of transformation work just as well in darkness as in light. Davis said his original asking price for the sketches was $500,000, but he is willing to consider lower offers.
“Where it stands right now is, you have a gentleman with an object he’s trying to sell, admitting that he’s committed a crime, that someone smuggled state property out of the correctional facility”, he said.

“I’m not trying to profit off anything”. I agree there’s too much post text, kind of the vein of similar “burying the lead” recent true stories like Unbroken, American Sniper and The Imitation Game but that doesn’t really explain the fact that whole thing prior to that seems rather arbitrarily put together in the first place. When Bulger was there, I could not breathe because of that killing intent in Bulger’s eyes. That Depp has done little else but flailing blockbusters and Tim Burton cartoons for the past fews years makes him a bit of a punching bag.
