Glengarry Glen Ross: B

Posted by: islander (a.k.a YoungFund) on Sep 03, 18:35 in response to DTXbro's post Screened at Delta House this week: The Sting (A),...

yes odd ive never seen this, but as time goes by, im hesitant sometimes to try an old movie

like this one: that has reached mythic levels of adulation (so it could be a letdown) and its been parodied countless times (so it might be hard to take it seriously)

but while a little dated, i can see why its acclaimed

The Pacino opportunity non-sell sell to Pryce literally made me gasp, i was ready to buy :)

Lemmon's victory speech after closing the Nyborgs is outstanding, and his interactions with Roma playing a client

Screened at Delta House this week: The Sting (A), Talladega Nights (B), Caddyshack (A), and Fistful of Awesome (2012) (D) DTXbro Sep 03, 17:57

I borrowed a friend's copy of Oldboy and was going to watch it sometime this week. Glad you liked it. {nm} GMov Sep 03, 18:55

I think Mr Vengeance is the best out of that trilogy and I LOVE Oldboy {nm} Moviesnob Sep 03, 18:57

Yeah I read that review and was surprised. Regardless, awesome action movie. It helped that I had no expectations but was really impressed {nm} GMov Sep 04, 16:50

On the "too young" question... second gary Sep 03, 20:47

With the Ghibli films, I've been watching them in Japanese with English subs and reading those aloud so it's LIKE I'm reading to her, right? {nm} Paul2k Sep 04, 04:56

Ah, no; well, I've never thought about this question, but I think it's a no. That said, film literacy is a literacy, too. {nm} second gary Sep 04, 10:28

p.s. In Michael Ondaatje's novel "In the skin of a lion," immigrants in Toronto (c. 1915-35) practice their English by repeat viewings... second gary Sep 04, 10:31
