Naïve Old Fart 9,556 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I never - NEVER - said anything of the sort. In every example that you've cited, I will willingly concede that the latter is far greater than the former. All I am saying is that I prefer the former to the latter. So...are we cool?

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Another all-time great character actor has left us. RIP Philip Baker Hall https://www.thewrap.com/philip-baker-hall-star-of-magnolia-and-boogie-nights-dies-at-90/ Secret Honor and Magnolia are his two best performances IMO, but he had small but memorable roles in so many good movies and shows over the years.

Tallguy 3,402 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Someone once coined the verb "Vic Mizzied": To hear that someone died that you didn't know was still alive.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I had a huge Godfather-obsessed phase around ages 13-14 and Sonny will be the role that gives him immortality, but as a teen I also loved him in Wes Anderson's first movie Bottle Rocket.

Naïve Old Fart 9,556 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 He was in three of the greatest films of the 70s, two of them being personal all-time favourites.

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 A really sad news. He was terrific in The Godfather even though as a child I really liked him in El Dorado. He was also in Cinderella Liberty RIP Mr. Caan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Only a few months ago I finally watched the Godfather trilogy (I'd only seen the first one before, long ago, and dubbed). Afterwards I wasn't sure and had to look up if Caan was still alive, and was glad to learn that he was. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't play old movies anymore. The public doesn't want that. They want something recent, something they skipped watching in theaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
