I watched the Conversation for the first time ever last night. Amazing.

This leads me to believe that John Cazale was never in a bad film. In fact every film he was in was brilliant.

Can't think of anyone else who was never in a bad film. Anyone?

[When Jokers Attack]

John Cazale really would have been up there with Pacino and De Niro.

Still beyond me how he did not even get nominated supporting actor for Godfather II

I was thinking Christian Bale, but then I remember watching Harsh Times.

[Purple Monkey]

Reign of Fire too

[minute5072]

I guess that means Terminator Salvation went relatively un-noticed.

[Purple Monkey]

Christian Bale I would stick in the same category as Brad Pitt and George Clooney; brilliant actors, often given brilliant parts that suit them well but are every now and then given some absolute howlers which they take on against all good sense. Terminator Salvation, Troy, Batman And Robin? Totally not for these guys.

Benicio Del Toro has a cracking resume. I see he's down to be in a new Three Stooges film.

So, what did we make of Del Toro as Ernesto Guevara then?

[worm]

I disagree about Pitt. Brilliant actor, but has a tendency to choose the wrong movie.

[Purple Monkey]

i think the problem is when they are offered the role they just imagine what it's going to be like

the script only describes so much, the entire atmosphere of the film could end up being anything...

Pitt - "i get to be Achilles? f**k YEA!"

Clooney - "i get to be batman? f**k YEA!"

Bale - "i get to be in a terminator movie? f**k YEA!"

imagine if they called YOU and offered you the part, how cool you would imagine it being in your head, i suppose they are just like everyone else.

watched District 9 tonight, f**k YEA!

that movie had everything, i expected it to be all right, a little mocumentary with some fights, i got sci fi sex on a plate

though the dude sounds like a scoueser every time he says f**k?

Was very good to begin with.

Even when I turned round to face her to show how annoyed I was

[Lithium05]

If anyone who's seen the trailer thinks Adventureland looks hilarious, it's not. It's just... not.

[Rufus Gwertigan]

I disagree.

Clooney is good at certain roles, whereas Pitt was excellent and now can't act for shit. Bale is being very melodramatic lately. Was very good to begin with.

Moral to the story: Hollywood f**ks us all, apart from Johnny Depp.

John Malkovich??

Edited September 23, 2009 by sifimaster

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Con Air.

And as much as it pains me, because I love Besson, Jean of Arc wasn't great either.

And he was in the Mutant Chronicles too.

So no, not John Malkovich.

[sifi]

I quite like Con Air, it makes me smile . Not seen the Mutant Chronicles. Is it about mutants by any chance??

[Rufus Gwertigan]

I suppose Con Air is alright despite Nicholas Cage. There are some amusing bits in it, but it's just too cheesy for me these days. It's like a side of gruyere served with a emmental sauce on a bed of bavarian smoked frankly.

Your cheese argument lacks real substance. Now if you were to add parmesan (not fresh stuff, the dried toe jam that you buy in the pasta aisle), then I may have sided with you.

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Lacks substance? Emmental sauce? That's got the consitency of my filthy youghurt after my wife's been away for a week.
