I don't think Al Pacino's worth $20 million.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The plot of the movie is that they have to steal $20 million dollars worth of ham from an ultra-secure smokehouse.
Or possibly $20 million dollars worth of edible scenery from an ultra-secure scene shop.

Back in the day? Sure. As the shadow of his persona that he now is, even a worshipful fangirl like me would have to consider before whipping out her checkbook.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Aw, I like Shouty!Pacino. I want to see him shout at George Clooney, and then George Clooney can raise his eyebrows at him.

I like Shouty!Pacino
I only like him when he is shouting "Attica!" When he's not in on the joke, he's a lot less funny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Done, Dana. Totally missed that.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
The most disturbing part of reading about Pacino was that he's going to appear in a remake of Rififi.

As a non-Pacino related tangent, I just want to say that I really had no interest at all in seeing "The Wild," and was starting to wonder just how many friggin' CG animated movies about talking animals we were going to get this year.
Then I listen to the trailer with the sound on my TV turned up for a change and realized that the koala in that one is voiced by Eddie Izzard.
Eddie can have my movie money.
