'You just cost me six thousand dollars'

Posted by Wayne Garcia on Fri, Jun 29, 2007 at 2:31 PM

Help us settle an argument raging at the CL offices so we can get back to work putting out next week's issue:

What is the worst Al Pacino performance ever?

I know, I know, this is a topic big enough to drive a dumptruck through. Ham Gravy is fighting hard for Two for the Money. I, of course, am partial to the ham-handedness of his hooo-wahhhing his way to an Oscar for Scent of a Woman.

While you try to decide, here's a good Pacino soundboard for you to play with.

You guys are clearly forgetting about his wonderful performance as Big Boy in Dick Tracy. What, you thought I was going to say Devil's Advocate? "God is an absentee slumlord! He's a sadist!!!!" No way, man. No way.

I haven't seen Two for the Money. However, I do like Scent of a Woman -- I think Pacino is cute as a classy blind man -- and Two for the Money just sounds sucky. I mean, it's about a former football star. Plus it was made in 2005, so I have to go with SoaW. Sorry Wayne.

You guys are fucking retarded! Al Pacino is the best actor in film history!!! Everyone has a bad movie or two, but none have had so many successes or legendary performances as Al Pacino! So stop focusing on the bad!

I agree with pacino_lover77...why do people always have to try and bring wonderful actors' performances down with a few bad ones??? Get a fucking life already!!!

Beyond Godfathers 1 and 2, Glengarry (which frankly is a better writing job than acting job), Serpico and (maybe) Dog Day Afternoon, take a look at his resume on IMDb.com and tell me he has done solid work on any movie after Scent of a Woman. His entire career is based on a great performance for Coppola and some minor films but his current acting choices (both movies and the way he plays characters) is a caricature.

How could you even think about puttin "Scent of A Woman" and "Two For the Money" in the "bad performance" category? A classic Pacino speech at the end of "Scent" and a convincing performance in "Two", showing his desperate character at the end of his rope. Come on, "Dick Tracy" is clearly the front-runner. Hoowah!

No one likes a Windows XP slow startup.When you startup your computer you want it to be ready to use immediately. I can not make it that fast, but I can help you fix Windows XP slow startup.First step to fix Windows XP slow startup is to find out what programs are loading when you startup Windows XP. To do this click start, run, then type in msconfig and hit enter. Look at the Boot.ini tab. In the box labeled Timeout change the time from the default 30 to 3. This changes how long it waits to before booting.
