Paul Newman, Lee Marvin, Steve McQueen, Robert Mitchum

So I was just saying to Steve McQueen, when he was over for dinner the other night...oh! Sorry. A poll, you say?

i saw Bullitt not too long ago and it was...kind of boring! we're pretty spoiled for action movies, that really lit people on fire when it came out, right?

omg you basically suck

j/k but dude

ffs ban gabbneb

Newman is the better twilight-years actor, McQueen is hawt in a leather-bar-fantasy kind of way, Marvin the most sinister, and Mitchum the most blasé. If I was voting on acting, I'd vote Newman, and he makes better tomato sauces too.

ghost rider making a damned strong case

yeah car.jpg is pretty sweet actually

I'm saying. And he hasn't even gotten to the Cape Fear jpegs yet.

it wasn't the action, but the mystery that wasn't that tight, i guess. and this was all pre miranda? so i guess if he sees a couple dudes in a car that give him the eye he can chase them at 70mph and they'll ram into a gas station and it all blows up, and that's that. doesn't even have to figure out what they were up to?

xpost.

seriously whatever ghost rider throws down if I wanted to I could blow it all away with a few screencaps of the sand pebbles

no youtubes of Steve going to the cooler with his baseball ;_;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojvainvhOTw <--- this movie RULES

Wait, Morbs, are you saying Newman was teh ghey?

have you heard the phrase Anything That Moves? even, say, your youngstud pool-hustler co-star?

JACKIE GLEASON?!

No; let's just say at least PN wasn't having any Scientology...

I saw in one of those small-press books about homosexuality in the movies that Paul Newman was the first actor to say "faggot" in a Hollywood film (maybe Harper), and the author added "How ironic etc."

he and Joanne Woodward also spent their honeymoond "crusing" the Adriatic with....Gore Vidal.

Can I change my vote to Jim Mitchum?

Did Steve McQueen do a movie with Erik Estrada?!? I THINK NOT!

of course they're all great but NEWMAN is the only one that's really always solid, the marrying type.

oh noes eggs

i kinda feel that bronson shoulda been thrown in here

I didn't know you guys were so into butchness.

I'm not sure how butch it really is when they all have the cheekbones of a Russian hooker.

She had a lot of cheeks, what can I say.

Svetlana Blojobska

blowjob ska just never connected with the right audience

No Coburn, no credibility.

Hud is one of my favorite movies. But I may have to go with Mitchum.

Fast Eddie: I told you I got drunk.

Bert Gordon: Sure you got drunk. You have the best excuse in the world for losing; no trouble losing when you got a good excuse. Winning... that can be heavy on your back, too, like a monkey. You'll drop that load too when you got an excuse. All you gotta do is learn to feel sorry for yourself. One of the best indoor sports, feeling sorry for yourself. A sport enjoyed by all, especially the born losers.

Fast Eddie: Thanks for the drink.

Point Blank, asses

i'm shocked

Robert Mitchum? Far out. Didn't think I could vote in "I'm not gay but if I was...." but I would have expected Paul Newman to be a shoe-in. Dear straight men, I fail to understand your homoerotic desires.

So, I should see "Point Blank" on TCM tonight then?

Yeah, but golly if you could see Prime Cut with the shoot-out in a field of fully grown sunflowers . . .

You should see both!

PB is, as far as I can tell, the best American film of '67.

Bunch of Newman films follow it on TCM (The Long Hot Summer w/ Woodward, Welles, Lansbury, Remick).

Summer has a couple of Newman beefcake shots and a few fat jokes b/w Lansbury and Welles.

I saw it in a revival house a loooong time ago.

The least of these 4 is easily McQueen btw.

thx for input you guys, that's my 5-7 p.m. sorted.

point blank is amazing! carroll o'connor really hams it up & brings the lolz

His dialogue is really funny bcz the way Marvin implacably reacts... "I want my money."

i feel bad that i don't secretly want to have sex with these people. lee marvin and robert mitchum? these are really secret hetero crushes? i beg to differ. paul and steve i can see. but i just don't feel that way towards them.

Burt Lancaster sorely missing here, but yes, Lee Marvin is underappreciated. Point Blank!

Burt Lancaster is sort of at the tail end of your Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbankses, and then he stopped grinning so wide and because something else entirely.

Lee Marvin doesn't write for Pitchfork. Just sayin'.

I have much cold beer and popcorn available for this.
