Scarecrow with Hackman & Pacino both at the peak of their powers. Bang. One of the best Buddy filns of all time, from the guy who made the also awesome "Panic In Needle Park" - Jerry Schatzberg.

yeah He also did Street Smart in the 80's. but two awesome ones in that magical time of the early 70;s.

Scarecrow has all the great elements of the Buddy Picture (Which has de-evolved in modern times into these so called  "Bromance comedies".) Hackman & Pacino have great chemistry and all the homo-eroticism is nicely veiled in subtext and clever hotdog jokes. Interestingly the two places these buddies are going is Detroit & Pittsburgh. The Detroit trip does not end well.  And I watched after Pittsburgh beat Detroit in game 7.

Also motherfucking stunning cinematography (from Vilmos Zsigmond who was also in an early 70's groove having previously lenses The Long Goodbtye, McCabe & Mrs. Miller to name a few.) in this flick. Early 70's American Road movies is how I imagine America.

Regardless of how Che is portrayed (and I don't think Soderbergh takes a hard stance pro-Che), it is amazing filmaking.  :wub:


Happens to most people, never stopped anyone.

Or, to quote a classic "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine". I certainly guess only a true master of psywar (please notice the 'true') could have imagined the awesome power of an army of t-shirts and wallpapers...

Bought the movie a couple years back. Stopped after an hour or so when there was yet another prayer scene.

Only good scene in that movie was the bit with the Irish brigade attacking Cobb's Georgia brigade.

Stay Alive...Let the Man Drive

Octavian

If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

- Eyal Yanilov.

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

Kung Fu Panda, pretty damn good, especially the training montages.  :lol:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I think I loathe Will Ferrell more than any other "actor" with the sole exception of Kevin Bacon.

That is not dead which can eternal lie. And if Che isn't a lie then I don't know what is.

Adaptation. Wonderful movie. Also, Judy Greer is hot and Brian Cox is awesome.
