DeNiro's fantastic in Godfather II. A very soulful performance with allusions to Brando.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

You mean specifically where they don't chew the scenery?
I do tend to have a fondness for scenery-chewing. Disregard my suggestion.

For Sam Jackson, Fresh is a terrific choice. That is an amazing film.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You mean specifically where they don't chew the scenery?
Yeah, where they're not the personality, but they are the character. Someone is citing them as not good actors, merely film stars. Whereas I think Jackson and De Niro earned star, and Pitt leavened it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Why are you in an argument with someone who thinks De Niro is not a good actor, but rather a film star?

De Niro: isn't Taxi Drive the iconic De Niro film? Or is that not good because it was more a star turn?
I like Brad Pitt in "A River Runs Through It."

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Brad Pitt was amazing in "Tree of Life". I easily forgot I was watching Brad Pitt.
