Good, you pathetic attempts to bolster your pitiful self-esteem by launching ad hominem attacks on me were growing rather tiresome.
For a self-proclaimed "Badash Mofo", you really are pretty lame.

The point of the picture is that Byrne's character was an emotionless cipher?
Now I'm scratching my head! ;)

Re: Miller's Crossing

MC fails as a gangster picture, it fails as a black comedy.
It is a bad picture and no amount of commentary will change my mind.
Canby didn't like it. Ebert didn't like it. I didn't like it. Deal...

De gustibus non est disputandum.
The film is a bad film, opinions to the contrary notwithstanding.
Allow me to elucidate.
First off, the film looks like it was filmed in a closet - everything is...

I don't know if he was gay or not but Huntz was married 3 times and had at least one child.

The Dead End Kids were the first incarnation in the 30s
Little Tough Guys and East Side Kids were next in the 40s'
Finally they became the Bowery Boys in a series of 48 movies in the 40s and 50s.

I don't mind a strong reaction but ad hominem attacks are another thing.
My not liking a film is not a personal attack on those who do.
There appears to be a kind of groupthink orthodoxy here.

I don't have "issues" with it.
I just think it's a terrible movie with no saving graces.
Why you should take that so personally perplexes me.

Great, when you don't have a valid point, go for the ad hominem attack.

I don't care what other people think of the film. If everyone in the world were to tell me MC was a great film, I would still think it was crap.
It's called thinking for yourself.

Re: Miller's Crossing

Say you're saying Jon Polito's performance was not totally over-the-top bordering on the absurd?
That the dialog was not incredibly stilted and inane?
You are entitled to your opinion, of course...

Miller's Crossing

A ripoff of Hammett's "The Glass Key", "Miller's Crossing" may well be the worst picture ever made.
A completely ludicrous script, terrible performances and a director who couldn't make up his mind...

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Detective Story with Kirk Douglas.
Kirk chews up scenery in an overwrought performance.
Essentially a filmed play which did not take advantage of the film medium.
Corny performances all around but...

I like Raging Bull and consider it one of Scorsese's best efforts.

Adam Sandler: opinions? why do so many people think he's no longer funny?

Re: Adam Sandler: opinions? why do so many people think he's no longer funny?

I haven't seen that many Sandler movies.
He was funny in Happy Gilmore and a couple of other films I saw with him.
He's hardly a comic genius but can be amusing in small doses.

MoFo MC April: The Killers (1946)

Re: MoFo MC April: The Killers (1946)

A noir classic. Lancaster forgoes his usual scenery chewing and give a great performance.
