I hate everything about scarface, its a bad movie with disgusting characters, especially the despicable Tony Montana. I don't really like Al Pacino that much in the Godfather either, I prefer Marlon Brando and James Woods characters. James woods is quite cool btw. As for Pacino his best movie is heat, that certainly isn't because of Al Pacino. I just don't like him at all actually. I find other bad guys like Robert De Niro in heat a nicer character than any of the good characters of Al Pacino, but then again, Al Pacino is best at playing despicable and easily hated characters. NOTHING cool about Al Pacino. Is this only my opinion?

Yes, and you know what they say about opinions. There like assholes, everybody's got one.

Agreed. Scarface and Godfather-type movies glorify mafia, crime, drug dealers.

It's hard to choose between Eastwood and Nicholson. We just watched Wolf. Jack is in a league of his own.

Obviously it depends on the role, but when one takes into consideration the amount of cool roles actors have had, Steve McQueen, Jack Nicholson, and Clint Eastwood top the list.

Some accept penetration and some don't. That doesnt make opinions irrelevant. I for example think anal sex should be illegal, not only for homosexuals but in general, because its unclean in all ways.

Would it be better if no one had assholes though? Everything just burned up in the belly or something..

Seriously. I have heard about almost all of the actors people present. I have seen the name Steve McQueen from many of them.. But I am embarrassed to ask, who the hell is Steve McQueen?
 
Jack Nicholson.

No one beats Steve McQueen.

He was in at least 9 classic films. 5 of them were action films.

Steve McQueen was an American actor nicknamed the "King of Cool" He did all of his own stunts.
March 24, 1930 to Nov. 7, 1980. He died from mesothelioma. I was one cool cat.

I liked Al in Heat and a couple of other movies... Scent of a Woman. Not many others.
He is a one dimensional actor. Scareface SUCKED.
Godfathers... he was alright, but not the reason the movies rocked.

Yeah... and I put Newman and Redford right up there with those three.
 
Maximus Zeebra said:
Is it just me or does Brad Pitt and Robert Redford look alike? Even now, but especially the younger Redford. ;)

Anyone seen the movie "spy game"? The resemblance is uncanny.

Yeah, they do. Good movie, could have been a LOT better though...
Gonna watch the new X Files tonight and also got the Forbidden Kingdom for tomorrow.

Yeah... I did too. I don't even know what the point was?
Were the Russians just stealing organs?
The psychic was the only "X-Files" thing, and that was dumb.
I stopped caring after a while, and started cooking dinner while half watching over my shoulder.

Its theoretically possible to live for several hundred years if we find a way to switch brains from human to human. Thats complicated yes, but withing grasp of human technology the next couple of decades. Sure the priest thing was dumb, but the other theme was quite interesting. I found the movie good entertainment, but sure isn't Oscar material :lol:

Did you like the series? I did, found it quite intriguing.

Liked the series and the first movie was great.
This one was OK, but I became a little bored.
Switched to Forbidden Kingdom and watched Jet and Jackie kick ass instead.
 
Sam Elliott is the COOLEST of al time.

Lots of the previously mentioned actors may be more successful, maybe even better than Sam, but none if them COOLER.
 
Michael Ironsides is pretty cool for a lesser known actor.

Brian Dennehy is usually pretty cool as well.
 
George W. Bush Jr.

This is not a negative statement.
