Al Pacino = most overrated actor of our time.

Teen Prodigy · 01-08-2007, 12:03 PM

I don't watch the show all the time, because it usually slips my mind, being that it shows on sundays, which is one of the best sports days of the week.

I've seen the dave chappelle one, and the one with the cast of everybody loves Raymond, plus segments from the show Lipton did with the cast of the simpsons.

In drama class, the teacher made us watch the episode with Julianne Moore.

M.Maestro · 01-08-2007, 03:54 PM

Fuck them fags.. Put the one witht he black dude witht he lazy eye. He was in ' Phone Booth '

He spit some real knowledge at the end, that shti gave me chills no lie.

Forest Whitiker .. thats his name..

nigga dropped some proverbs.

Ethan Albright · 01-09-2007, 10:02 AM

forest whitaker is the best black actor today.

and don cheadle.

and Al Pacino is a peice of shit that plays the same goddamned role every movie. That's not skill. He's good at playing one character: Al Pacino.

Anidawehi · 01-09-2007, 11:28 AM

Damn Rippy, I'm not just sayin this because I disagree with you . . . you sound like a hater, kid. "Al Pacino is a piece of shit that plays the same goddamned role every movie." ???

A "piece of shit"?

Wow
So much hostility towards a man that you've never met.

Angels In America
The Merchant of Venice
Simone
Any Given Sunday
Donnie Brasco
Carlito's Way
Scent of a Woman
Dick Tracy
Godfather I, II, III (his character's personality changes as the character matures)
Scarface
Dog Day Afternoon
Two for the Money

He doesn't play the same character . . .

Merchant of Venice - Shylock (•••ish)
Simone - (Broken down director)
Scent of a Woman - (Blind retired asshole)
Donnie Brasco - Lefty
Carlito's Way - Hitman who's trying to go straight
Scarface - Cuban Hitman/Drug Kingpin

Godfather I, II, and III he shows his versitility. Michael goes through so many character changes in those films it's rediculous. There's a reason that those movies are considered Classics and it has nothing to do with all the other actors.

Pacino is a well respected actor in both Hollywood AND Broadway.
Maybe you just haven't been watching his other movies.
That is how people get typecast, btw.

Ethan Albright · 01-09-2007, 12:25 PM

I wouldnt hate him if people didn't pretend he's so great.

He never takes chances. He never sees a role and goes for it if it's out of his same lame persona that he has every movie.

Like Depp, he's a great actor because he becomes different characters. That's what great actors do. That's what pacino doesn't do.

there are tons of people out there that can play diverse roles and would enjoy doing so. Myself for instance....lol

but yeah. I hate the Denzel's, the Pacino's, Keanus, etc... same guy in a different situation every movie.

This sentence says more than all that you've said so far. I understand you because I understand this feeling.

Pacino has taken countless risks as an actor.
I don't think you've researched his life in very much depth.
They never wanted Pacino for the Godfather and they (the studio) didn't want him to play Michael the way he did. But he did anyway, with the support of the Director/Producer/Writer and look at what it is now.

If he never did anything but the Godfather series he should be respected as one of the greatest actors ever for that role alone.

Let me ask you somethin, who do you think is the best actor out there?

, yeah, you do this with Peyton Manning

You have to learn to stop taking it out on the people who are praised, because most of the time they're not asking for it... And, even if/when they do ask for it, they won't always get it. If you disagree with the consensus, concentrate on the people who have the ultimate responsibility in creating it. It's unfair to the person who's simply doing their job.

And, nobody's "pretending".

Anidawehi, you forgot to mention Scarecrow and Serpico.

Versatility isn't the only thing an actor should be measured by, and you often give it too much weight, Rippy. Many actors and actresses have extended themselves by taking on roles that challenge and do a consistently good job at it, but at the same time many of those performances never really reach the level of "great" simply because it wasn't the ideal role for them.

If I'm a casting director, chances are I'm going to be looking for someone who's not only proven to be a good actor but more predisposed to fit the character rather than experiment by looking for someone who's wanting to "branch out" and challenge themselves since it represents more of a risk. I want the most reliable recipe for my film, not give random stars the chance to prove themselves. That's actually why you see a lot of actors being stuck in familiar roles, not because they themselves are afraid to take chances.

Yes, there are tons of people out there that "can", but will they necessarily be any good? Great even?

"If I'm a casting director, chances are I'm going to be looking for someone who's not only proven to be a good actor but more predisposed to fit the character rather than experiment by looking for someone who's wanting to "branch out" and challenge themselves since it represents more of a risk."

Best Actor or Actress Awards aren't always handed to the nominee who took on the most risk with their character, and they shouldn't have to be.

Butfuklo · 01-09-2007, 03:43 PM

Johnny Depp and Al Pacino are both great actors. I believe the reason Johnny Depp has a more diverse variety of roles is because of his looks. Depp's look allows him to be considered for more roles because his look is versatile, whereas Pacino's look does not allow him to be considered for certain roles.

M.Maestro · 01-09-2007, 03:51 PM

nah denzel doesnt play the same character for every movie.

he just plays serious roles.

Ethan Albright · 01-10-2007, 12:44 AM

It's not a chance if it's a great actor brahman.

Guarantee you'd take a chance on Forest Whitaker, Don Cheadle, Brad Pitt, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sean Penn or Johnny Depp....

because they can pull anything off. They're great.... they can 'go out on a branch' and be successful every time, because it's their job to become people they aren't. A director shouldn't have to think....well, this part isn't really Denzel.... he should think...i bet denzel could pull this off....

denzel's furthest stretch was when he played a Jamaican when he first got started, and honestly it was horrible. He's only good at playing the stern serious role....that's why he sticks with it. He's great at doing that, but only that.

One trick ponies get no love from me.

Anidawehi · 01-10-2007, 07:22 AM

I wouldn't worry too much. I don't think Denzel or Pacino are gonna retire over your lack of love.

menaz · 01-10-2007, 07:40 AM

I still have to see, The Merchant of Venice.

I actually have Al Pacino as one of my ring tones.

From scarface... "You tell your guys in Miami, your friend, it'd be a pleasure. I kill a communist for fun. But for a green card, I'm gonna carve him up real nice."

Its that line mixed in with a hiphop-style remix of the movies theme music.

Anidawehi · 01-10-2007, 07:50 AM

Got the Godfather ringtone on mine.

For a long time I had the ringtone of Jack Nicholson as Joker sayin, "This town needs an enema!" with the laughing immediately after repeating.
It was fuckin hilarious. I left the cell on in each of my classes just to see
