I met senator bulger when I waited his table in a restaurant in Massachusetts 20 years back.'We talked for about 15 mins about w bunch of stuff and he offered to help me out with some research posting in mass general hospital. Said it like he was handing out ice creams, typical politician but an interesting guy all the same. I think he was president of the state senate at the time. it was only years later that I connected him with the other Bulger. But even if I didn’t know the story this was one unique individual who I would not have forgotten.

Interestingly the whole summer I worked there I kept missing famous local folks, I didn’t recognize any of them!

Black Mass was fine up until the point when they make you read an endless list of post scripts (they even Animal House-freeze framed for a couple of the characters, for good measure). Johnny Depp was good, but I think the stand out was Joel Edgerton as convicted g-man John Connolly (as an australian, he didn’t do a half bad southie accent either).
