Never watched Any given sunday. As for Frankie and Johnny.....you know what? A romantic role for Al seems out of place to me....he got this huge dramatic (if not tragic) potential....really can't see him as a sweetheart.....Johnny has this difficult past, of course, which gives the role depht and intensity but....I don't know....still I think Al was mistcast. As for Pfeiffer, she is splendid as usual, even in those modest looks, and cold enough to depict a bitterly disappointed still young woman who is afraid of believing in love again. She is not that bad, but....she's too algid, as usual, and I'm not enough sympathetic with her role. I wonder how Meryl Streep could play the part.


I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
