Thread Name: BS: Ten films that got it wrong
Subject: RE: BS: Ten films that got it wrong
Ivor my problem with CC in most of his roles or for that matter, Pacino in a lot of his, is in the allocation of finite resources that is movie making and movie watching, it is wasteful. There are fewer films being made. There are a finite number of good scripts, good characters, good directors. To see one of those movies diminished with acting that does not properly portray the character or in Pacino's case that it is so over the top and distinctive that even a suave sophisticated, rich lawyer come off like that pathetic little man, 35 years ago, holding a bank full of people hostage to buy a sex change for his boyfriend.

I want to be entertained. I don't want to indulge an ego which is unaware of its ability. I want the film makers to put someone in a role that brings something to that role.
