Lollie, lollie, how can you have such disrespect?

I just saw Pacino in Merchant of Venice, and he was brilliant. What does DeNiro have to show for himself? "Meet the Fockers," and "Analyze That."
Thr truth is DeNiro has squandered his considerable talent on some pretty awful comedies lately, while Pacino continues to work in small off Broadway productions, and continues to work and teach at the Actors Studio. Presently he is trying to put together a performance of Oedipus Rex. Yes, Pacino, like DeNiro is entitled to use his celebrity to get a bog paycheck like he did in Devil's Advocate. But there is no way Ne Niro would blow Pacino away in anything in which both of them were taking their roles seriously.
