    Yeah but what does that have to do with this discussion? 

     

    The studio didn't dislike Pacino because he was a bad actor; they disliked him b/c he looked too ethnic and they wanted more of a mainstream "male lead".  The history of Hollywood business types is filled with **** decisions.

     

    Thank God Francis was a strong enough character to steer that whole situation in the right direction

     

     

    Lol.  I read somewhere they wanted Robert Redford as Mike Corleone

  2. The other Attica thread reminded me of him.  Plus I started a favorite DeNiro movie thread a few weeks back so only fitting to start one on one of his "acting rivals" so to speak.

     

    The first two Godfather movies were good but I'll go with Dog Day Afternoon, Scarface, and And Justice For All.  The last scene in the later mentioned movie makes it great.

     

    Warning: Spoilers!

     

  3. I remember being in grade school and my grandparents were babysitting and took me to see my Great Grandmother.  She lived alone in a small apartment, was from Poland, and at pretty senile at that point.  My Grandma said she wouldn't recognize me.  

     

    She not only knew who I was but thanked me greatly as I was the only grandchild she had she always got a XMas card from all the time.

     

    It was my Mom's idea to send the cards but looking back it just seemed nice I was able to do something for her that meant a lot.
