I won’t disagree that Pacino has had a great career, but I’m talking more along the lines of the greatest 10 year run of great films that an actor/actress has starred in. I love how a Timmy Duncan article now has a nice convo going about movies.

Godfather 2 is timeless, but since we all live in surveillance-world now, the Coppola that can’t be beat for relevance today is The Conversation. But you can’t beat AN as a source of eternally resonant quotations, verbal and visual.
Kurtz: Are my methods unsound?
Willard: I don’t see, any method, at all, sir.

You expected a chorus of sports journalists to assemble around Shaun Livingston and call him weak because he had one of the most catastrophic on-court injuries in NBA history that destroyed the athleticism which was a key part of his projected-All Star 6'7" point guard, only to work his way back as a key role player…

But when is he going to apologize for his brandishing of Christianity as a marketing tool for himself, while doing his best to keep countrie’s reproductive rate above replacement level?

I hate to admit this, but being born in 84, I was a bit of a snob when it came to watching the movies that my old man would rave about thinking they wouldn’t hold up and so a few years ago when AN came on Netflix I turned off the lights and watched it by myself, and was blown away. I couldn’t believe what I was…

Dog Day Afternoon would hold up really well, gender identity issues, ex-wives, poverty, desperate men taking desperate measures.

I think you’d be very hard pressed to beat any of those choices. I’m just now trying to think of other great movies from that decade, like the great conspiracy flicks (Parallax View, 3 Days of the Condor, etc) or the scathing comedies (MASH, The Long Goodbye), but those films are inherently tied to the cynicism borne…

Deer Hunter is another that I feel, even with the never ending wedding (similar to the random stay with the French family iirc from AN) would hold up beautifully in 2016.

I was recently having a conversation with a friend of mine of older movies that truly hold up in 2016, and I stand by my answer that Apocalypse Now is The movie of the 70's that could be released today and be great. The first 2 godfathers came up of course, but I personally believe AN is the film to beat in this…

Well, if it is, I cannot possibly wish more for a montage of his career highlights, with The End playing over it, a la Apocalypse Now. Because anytime you can shoehorn AN into real life, you should do just that.

If you rub peanut butter on the Elways gums, it will look like he’s talking.

John Elway up there looks like he’s about to eat the fuckin thing

I’m gonna miss these fools

I think it’s less about Russ and more about Durant. I agree that Russ can take over games, but he’s a volume shooter that can get caught up in taking terrible threes at times in a game or a series, like game three for instance. I think that Durant scores easier, and because of that, he’s the guy who should be taking a…

As a Thunder fan, I’m thrilled we got the win since pretty much no one thought we could. The Spurs are a great time but i think any non homer Spurs fan will admit they weren’t making shots at the end of the game and that’s what killed them. On top of that when you can have your team give the ball away something like…

The thing is that all these hardships were self inflicted. He had a good thing going in Orlando and he screwed it up. They ran an offense that was perfect for him, they had a coach that maximized his talents. Now leaving isn’t a sin, that’s not his mistake. It was his insistence that he become the focal point of the…

I can’t be alone in hoping that in one of these games Kawhi Leonard’s calm, emotionless demeanor is going to shatter and he’s going to absolutely rage his way to 60+ point game.

I mean...it won’t happen, but that won’t stop me from wanting it to occur.

Steph is a better defender and passer. The only thing Westbrook does better is rebound. And that is often to the detriment of his teams transition D. I should add Curry is a better pg defender. Westbrook may have more value as a defender because he can guard the 2. I like Westbrook too, but to say you would rather…

loser of this series plays the Warriors, winner plays the Cavs and Toronto and Miami just go home.

T-Mac had his peak years in the post-MJ, pre-LeBron mid-2000s. Arguably one of the worst eras of NBA basketball. Don’t talk to us about watered down play, Tracy. You won your scoring titles during a period that the NBA would rather forget.
