― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 6 April 2007 19:10 (seventeen years ago) link

On this team, we fight for that inch
On this team, we tear ourselves, and everyone around us
to pieces for that inch.
We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch.
Cause we know
when we add up all those inches
that's going to make the fucking difference
between WINNING and LOSING
between LIVING and DYING.

I'll tell you this
in any fight
it is the guy who is willing to die
who is going to win that inch.
And I know
if I am going to have any life anymore
it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch
because that is what LIVING is.
The six inches in front of your face.

Now I can't make you do it.
You gotta look at the guy next to you.
Look into his eyes.
Now I think you are going to see a guy who will go that inch with you.
You are going to see a guy
who will sacrifice himself for this team
because he knows when it comes down to it,
you are gonna do the same thing for him.

That's a team, gentlemen
and either we heal now, as a team,
or we will die as individuals.
That's football guys.
That's all it is.
Now, whattaya gonna do?

The six inches of space in front of my face at the moment consists of air.

Is Pacino saying life is empty and formless?

― milo z, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

i mean that's the basic theme of the first half of the speech!

― ghost rider, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:14 (seventeen years ago) link

i want to start a DeNiro poll but the only option will be "The King of Comedy"

― ghost rider, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:17 (seventeen years ago) link

― ghost rider, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:19 (seventeen years ago) link

i saw that deniro movie on tv, the one where hes the crazy doctor and greg kinnear and rebecca STAMOS want their dead kid back... i guess i was out of the country when it was first released because i had never heard of it and just watching it was the most confusing terrible shit ever

― and what, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:21 (seventeen years ago) link

i can hear pacino giving an awesome reading to the phrase "greg kinnear and rebecca STAMOS want their dead kid back"

― ghost rider, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:21 (seventeen years ago) link

like, oh hey greg kinnear this must be good, oh ha ha hes getting mugged by his old student, i bet this is funny, oh hey its some dramady about 35 yr old hipster parents on the lower east side... oh wtf wtf wtf

― and what, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

hahaha that wouldve been about 1000000000000000000% better if it featured pacino as the devil offering them the soul of their dead child

― and what, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I loved the Al Pacino soundboard that was on the net years and years ago because almost all of the lines were from Glengarry Glen Ross (instead of something more obvious like Scent Of A Woman or Scarface), and there were a bunch of hilarious mp3s of prank calls people did to a Cracker Barrell with it. I didn't even see GGR until years later, consequently I can't even see Al Pacino anymore without thinking of him yelling "you FAIRY, you COMPANY MAN" to some hapless Cracker Barrell employee.

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 6 April 2007 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually, the correct emphasis on that line is, "YOU fairy."

dog day afternoon because he is not al pacino

― deeznuts, Friday, 6 April 2007 20:49 (seventeen years ago) link

believe it or not, i did NOT vote scarface.

― Eisbaer, Friday, 6 April 2007 20:49 (seventeen years ago) link

so forgive me a retarded question but theres no way to see the votes until the poll ends?

― deeznuts, Friday, 6 April 2007 20:55 (seventeen years ago) link

i mean i guess that makes a lot of sense but i am something of a message board expert & in my experience usually the results are live

― deeznuts, Friday, 6 April 2007 20:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm sorry, I can't ever get past the "Push It to the Limit" sequence in Scarface without laughing. Still a good movie, but not the one I checked off up there.

HEllO I AM ANAL PACINO

― gabbneb, Friday, 6 April 2007 21:02 (seventeen years ago) link

i have seen too many of this movies

― gabbneb, Friday, 6 April 2007 21:59 (seventeen years ago) link

b/w scarface having become "iconic" -- read, OVERPLAYED and INESCAPABLE -- not to mention the fact that pacino really is quite ridiculous in that film (haha, where to paraphrase something mark s. once said about him -- that pacino had become "high-octane rubbish") -- it's not surprising that some aren't going to vote for it.

― Eisbaer, Friday, 6 April 2007 22:10 (seventeen years ago) link

lemme rephrase somewhat -- scarface is kinda where pacino really began his high-octane schtick in earnest.

― Eisbaer, Friday, 6 April 2007 22:15 (seventeen years ago) link

which is actually is exactly what makes it a respectable vote despite my earlier post!

― deeznuts, Friday, 6 April 2007 22:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Great ass!

Ethan totally OTM abt Devil's Advocate.

PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK is a good film and as clemenza says, intriguingly outside pacino’s usual MO

― mens rea activist (k3vin k.), Sunday, 17 October 2021 22:42 (two years ago) link

Yes, it's an interesting low-key performance; I don't remember anything else about the film except that a dog comes to a bad fate on a ferry.
Last night I made a comment on the William Friedkin thread about another Pacino film omitted from this list, Cruising, quoting a review in a book called Movies on TV from 1981:

The basic narrative idea is that our growing discomfort with Pacino's convincing integration into his new environment and our growing fear that he may be developing some homicidal impulses of his own -- both are inextricably linked to our growing exhilaration of our release from fear as Pacino's savvy and power increase. Lurid, brutal, dehumanizing, but it does succeed in searing the audience.

I found Pacino a complete alien presence through the whole film, I certainly wasn't exhilarated at any point (and I don't really think he became savvy at any point either - desensitized, perhaps.

Looking at my Gucci, it's about that time: off to see whether Lady Gaga can chew scenery as voraciously as the master this afternoon.

― clemenza, Saturday, 27 November 2021 15:43 (two years ago) link

Not nearly as campy as I was hoping: Jared Leto's performance (felt like I was watching Jeffrey Tambor the whole time) and Gaga/Driver's first sex scene are about it. Just very long and not all that interesting. Pacino's actually pretty good. Except for a vintage Italian cover of "I'm a Believer" by Caterina Caselli, the soundtrack is thoroughly unimaginative (and, when Driver and Gaga get married in 1972, laughingly arbitrary as to placement: "Faith").

LOL at this thread for including S1m0ne and Insomnia but not Cruising, Panic in Needle Park, and Looking for Richard.

Carlito's Way obv should've won.

I was flipping through a sale rack of DVDs and came across this from 2014:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1568343/?ref_=nm_flmg_t_14_act

Never heard of it. Pacino, Greta Gerwig, Barry Levinson, Buck Henry...no doubt terrible. It was $5, and I did consider buying it for the sheer weirdness of its existence (and for the brilliantly awkward title, too); didn't, then had second thoughts, then spent the next five minutes trying to find it again and couldn't. Which was pretty weird in itself--there were only about 100 DVDs on the rack.

― clemenza, Friday, 3 May 2024 21:47 (three days ago) link

(The title is not Levinson's--Philip Roth! I have just personally been subjected to the humbling.)
