De Niro is my favorite actor of all time; it's just sad to see his talent go to waste in so many inferior productions. 97722@blogcritics.org Wed, 10 Nov 2004 15:03:10 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/11/10/103106.php#comment-97721 Deniro is an acting god. Most would agree. But Brian's point is well taken. This is a guy who had a legacy of making nothing but worthwhile movies, until he started to tank it a few years back. I agree that his presence alone make a bad movie better, but you can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit. 97721@blogcritics.org Wed, 10 Nov 2004 15:00:45 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/11/10/103106.php#comment-97710 No argument here except with De Nero. A bad Bob still beats 99% of everybody else. Imagine how bad those movies would've been without him. It's very hard for anyone to admit their best work is behind them and some people just have to keep working. Besides, as the Simpsons proves, it's the writing that's lacking. Homer & Co.'s acting has just gotten better with age. And as long as I'm making retarded comments I'd like to put in a plug for my two favorite actors, Ren Hoek and Stewie Griffin. 97710@blogcritics.org Wed, 10 Nov 2004 14:41:58 EST
