re: #197 Dr Lizardo

Pacino’s Michael Corleone is one of the greatest performances in cinema history. And the polar opposite of Tony Montana.

It’s one of the things I respect about Pacino; he can play a wide variety of characters and he’s believable. He has a new film out next year, The Irishman, with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, directed by Martin Scorsese. I’m looking forward to that one. Pacino’s playing Jimmy Hoffa.

Yeah I can’t wait to see that. Speaking of Hoffa, was talking with one of my cousins the other day. He had a job in Detroit recently which made him dream about asking our late grandfather where Jimmy Hoffa was buried and who killed JFK. Our grandfather was in the NLRB so I asked him since he knew our grandfather whereas I did not if he knew Jimmy Hoffa and apparently he did.
