Do you still have to remind us every time we call it one?

Ok lets just respect each others view's then shall we?

how many times are you going to keep doing the same thing over and over again Greek Sicilian or whatever your name of the day is..... :rolleyes:

You bring it all on yourself, then you curse (apparently that makes you mean or intelligent or something :rolleyes: ) then 3 days later we'll have the "no one likes me thread" then we'll start up again next month. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Dont insult me

:rolleyes:

Truth hurts?

No your just trying to bait me and get me banned.

Aint gonna happen son. :rolleyes:

yeah don't call me son.

2nd, I didn't bait you at all. You did a fine job of acting like an idiot without anyone's help. "Respect me, show me loyalty" :rolleyes:

I didn't type anything that was not true, I simply told you the truth, if you take that as bait then you need to look at the way you act

Lets just end this now.

I simply pointed out what you do time after time, I don't know what "this" is that we are ending but you should learn from your mistakes, not repeat them.

Wow, I'm surprised that Double J hasn't come by yet, posting his usual laundry list of reasons why he hates Stone with a passion.

Anyway, the "American Football" flick ANY GIVEN SUNDAY by Oliver Stone is probably Stone's most mainstream movie as a director. Its pretty decent but nothing worth sacking a quarterback over. Still, this movie did prove to many, like me, that Jamie Foxx wasn't simply just some comic making movies like BOOTY CALL or whatever the hell, but he CAN act worth a damn. One wonders though what if Chris Tucker or "Puff Daddy"(or "P. Diddy" or whatever hes called now), the original people offered the "Willie Beaman" part would have done as well. Still, Foxx had to start serious somewhere, and he does good.

My only problem with Stone the director is how Stone's rapid-cut-editing(since he started it when he made JFK) just gets to a point to where you really get sick of it.

Oddly, Stone did this movie I believe only when his and Al Pacino's project AMERICAN CAESAR(a modern Imperialistic American retelling of Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR) fell apart. Enjoyed the supporting cast besides Pacino and Foxx from Pro Football legend Lawrence Taylor playing a character that really echos the man's infamous off-field/locker room problems, to Dennis Quaid playing the Dan Marino/Joe Montana-esque tired star Quarterback, to even LL Cool J of all people playing an egotistical under-performing Running Back.

In fact, I'll support Cameron Diaz. Sure I've never cared for her, but for some reason she was great for the part of the franchise's owner. Fact is, she embodies the new generation of NFL Owners that think they understand how it all works, but really are clueless in the likes especially of Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys and Dan Snyder of the Washington Redskins. Fact is, she is supposed to be vile and unlikeable. Sure a better actress would have made it better, but Diaz was fine.

Still, the movie somewhat suffers from a non-consequential happy ending of sorts but its still a pretty decent movie in Stone's movie career.

Final Film Rating - *** out of 5

P.S. - Of course, it would help if you dig American Football and the culture itself to further "get" the movie I guess. Then again, I quite enjoyed VICTORY and SHAOLIN SOCCER, yet I've got no clue as to how "Football" works.

Seriousely TK, you need to just shut the hell up sometimes.

I believe you hate the movie and thats your opinion. I believe you hate American football and thats your opinion too. But I also believe that you wanted this argument to get out of hand. You crave the attention, even if its negative. Thats why you made your farewell thread a while back. I think its time you grew up. Dont post here if your gonna be an asshole.

Jou callin me an asshole mang? I think your an asshole I started a perfectly sensible thread and you lot go and bastardize it with your sensitivity

you did say you were not comeing back keep your word next

time.

This one was my favorite!

BTW, Tony has been banned.

BTW, Tony has been banned. [/b][/quote]What is that, the 16th time or something?

Don Ferro was banned?

The Greek Sicilian wannabe was.

I really like this movie, although I didnt much the first time I watched it.
The FOOTBALL scenes can be a bit over the top throughout, and LL Cool J stopped being entertaining in anything in 1993, but besides that, its great. Pacino is excellent. Diaz plays a role better then her usual one, and plays it well. James Woods is in it so thats cool. Dennis Quaid and Lauren Holly give an amazing scene too when discussing retirement.

7.5/10


If a movie was made in a different country about the sport that us in the USA call soccer, and the word "football" was used we wouldnt give a shit. People here call it football, get used to it.
