CAZALE

dog day afternoon

Can I change my answer?

very tough call between GFII and DDA

The Godfather II – "I'M SMART!"

GF2

Who was his girlfriend, who took care of him while he was dying, and later she became a famous or more famous actress, at least for a while? Keep thinking it was Jill Clayburgh, but she was Pacino's girlfriend. (What's she up to lately? In something recent, I think.)

it was Streep.

Streep's been in a few movies since TDH, I think.

o man he rules

Clayburgh's in that new TV series w/ Donald Sutherland

Clayburgh may deserve her own thread, but everyone'll vote for An Unmarried Woman.

It's pretty amazing that he made five features, and each of them is arguably a five-star film.

that's 25 stars.

26 if you count the one in heaven tonight with his name on it. rip.

RIP

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

No dis on Meryl, I had no idea it was her! Man, that really was way back, wasn't it? When I first became aware of her, she was married to Don Gummer, I think it was, and her contracts always included specifications for his sculpture studio, according to Time (or maybe Newsweek)(that's way back when people read Time and Newsweek, maybe even when they weren't in doctors' or dentists' lobbies)

Everything that makes Godfather 2 brilliant is Cazale or revolves around Cazale.

Specify!

It's pretty amazing that he made five features, and each of them is arguably a five-star film.

All of them nominated for Best Picture Oscar

The two are one and the same.

I thought this thread was about the big glasses.

The Deer Hunter is kinda crap.

It's certainly the worst of the five, but there are a lot of enjoyable things about it, I think.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I re-watched Dog Day Afternoon a couple of weeks ago. I think it's really strong for the first 45 minutes or so, but I don't know, for me it just seems to peter out after that. I love Buscemi in the documentary talking about how the Simpsons incorporated Cazale's Dog Day character into an episode.

which episode?

I haven't seen it, but I think Buscemi's character and the Cazale lookalike are (surprise) robbing a bank--they show the clip in the documentary.

Saw The Deer Hunter (took me a couple of installments) and when finished I thought it was a bit heavy-handed and maybe overly dramatic. But a few days later, I found myself thinking of some of the scenes. The Streep/De Niro reunion is great. Also, Walken spitting in De Niro's face. The town that Walken specifies when he calls home: Clairton, Pennsylvania. Really wanted to see more Cazale but understandable why not. Axel, who looks like an Allman Brothers roadie. De Niro so much better acting angry rather than happy. The forced ending.

Happy birthday!

I just think he'd be the type of person who'd like for someone to drop him a birthday salutation on a message board.

imagine seeing him and Pacino in this 50+ years ago
