Movie Thread

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Speaking of "The Postman" didn't he used to work nights at the US Postal Service?
...so it seems, good recall Doc, I was not aware.

Apparently he, Hackman, Hoffman and James Caan (Rollerball!!) were all in acting school together.

Yowza!
Was just thinking about an interview with one of them where they talked about Hackman, Hoffman, and Duvall, together and hitting the Hollywood scene around the same time. The comment was to the effect of all three of them being outstanding actors who were passed over for leading roles in favour of lesser but better looking talent.

I actually can't think of a movie with either of those 3 guys where they have shit the bed in terms of their performance.

Hoffman has obviously been in a ton of great movies from the Graduate through Little Big Man, Kramer vs Kramer, Midnight Cowboy, Rain Man, Papillon et cetera.

One of my favs was a flic called Marathon Man with Roy Scheider (Jaws!) and Sir Laurence Olivier.

The dental scenes still make my teeth ache.

lol John Cusack is a problem? Just an average actor imho. Funny the things that trigger folks. Matt Leblanc and Tony Danza are likely the two worst actors of the last 100 years. I’d love a free punch at Howie Mandell

Ditto.

True story.

I used to be nervous in the dentist chair once upon a time.

Soon after my arrival in Abby, new dentist.

Me sweating, eyes darting around.

Upon entering the room he asked me if I was okay.

I looked him right in the eye and said:

"Have you ever seen Marathon Man?"

Well he began to laugh so hard he had to leave the room!

We became good friends after that and he was my dentist for decades until he retired.

Fantastic movie, I should've had it on my original list.

The entire Friends cast is horrible.

At least Danza was on Taxi.

Gives him some cred however minor...

... but then he revealed himself as an utter moron on social media.

He's one of those guys who is so stupid he thinks he's smart.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

He's just a dumb-as-shit gomer is all, not worth repeating.
