This guy was brilliant! Five great roles in five classics, and he was never even recognized by the Academy.

Horrible, obvious title. Makes me think this is going to be a pretty standard bio-doc.

I don't like anything right now. Saw Milk today and what a monotonous movie that was. Meeting, Unrest, March, Make-Out. Snooze-o-rama. Penn was great, though. Diego Luna should be embarrassed.

MM: agree on MILK. but to lift your spirits, check out either HUNGER or LET THE RIGHT ONE IN. Both outstanding.

I'm psyched for this. Yeah, Streep reportedly only did DEER HUNTER because he was already dying and she was taking care of him and agreed to do it to b with him. While she has made a lot of shit movies lately and started spouting off some dumbass remarks in public now, I gotta admit she's class all the way because of this.

Although you do have to wonder about Streep's career had he lived.

LET THE RIGHT ONE IN - the year's most overrated arthouse film. Wife and I stole away during the holidays (mom the 3k mile babysitter) drove all the way up to Pasadena to the absurdly designed Academy (who puts the auditorium entrance in the middle of the sweet spot? Who?) to see this less than arresting Swedish vamp flick.

Ponderer says ...

As Wikipedia points out, he was in archive footage for Godfather III - which was also nominated for Best Picture. So technically, Cazale was six for six.
