Did you suffer through Fool's Rush In? Maybe not, since you are not married.

That's why he's a star. People find his personality entertaining.
By the way, I'm surprised to learn that you actually watch movies. Apparently, sports are sinful, but movies are not.

But you are otherwise a cultural expert and qualified to comment on Oscar winning actors.

According to Truster, Christians aren't Christians, they're just actors -- fakes pretending to be something genuine.
According to Truster, actors aren't actors, they're actually genuine -- they just pass themselves off as someone they're not.
Both of these propositions are often true, but not always true and absolutely not absolutely true.
The wacky, mixed-up world according to Truster.

Very well said and very little to add - apart from that De Niro isn't actually in 'The Godfather'...
Although I'm sure Truster would probably think that Al Pacino can't act either...

He's in Godfather II, which I actually think is the better of the two (I pointedly ignore the III). He plays Brando's character as a young man. Terrific move and one of my favorite of his roles.Very well said and very little to add - apart from that De Niro isn't actually in 'The Godfather'...

Well you should have specified that then...
There's very little to choose between the first two IMO and he does indeed play a great part in the second as he does in most films. Agreed in regards to the third...lain:

I agree.
Have you seen the Halo Oranges commercial that has the little girl cutting off the head of her plush toy horse and putting in the bed of her parents? (cause they were out of Halo oranges).
Cracked me up!
He was great in a number of things, from Stagecoach to Red River, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, The Searchers and my sentimental favorite, The Quiet Man. Truster doesn't understand the craft. He appears to think it's all Lon Chaney or Alec Guinness. Nothing wrong with either of those, but that's the difference between character actors and principles, to some extent.
It's close with me. Searchers is impossible to beat, but Red River is right there, birthday girl.
Goodnight then, my friend. And many happy returns. :cheers:
Be that as it may, I love to watch the man work!

I wasn't a big John Wayne fan, but I did like "The Shootist" (it was more in the style of a Clint Eastwood western). Also, I liked "Rooster Cogburn" (which seemed to be a remake of "African Queen" in the guise of a western).
Now back to the subject matter of this thread. I liked Robert De Niro as Al Capone in "The Untouchables." He reminds me of my late uncle in this scene:

John Wayne was my next example and I'm please that you also saw this. His playing the Roman Centurion in the greatest story ever told was the pits.
It's hard to do much with a single sentence...
Just look at how little you do with more.
