also speaking of david mamet, and heist movies, Heist is pretty good for what it is, but kind of weird. its got that kind of stodgy feeling that happens when mamet directs his own stuff. but i love the cast and the dialogue is fun. like, its clearly A Heist Movie For Old People but i guess thats where i am now

Ricky Jay was great in that one (as usual) and I always loved Delroy Lindo's performance.

If Al Pacino is in Heat, keep a spray can of water handy for when he starts yowling at 2am.

The bills' quality was very, very good, but the Treasury seal on the counterfeits used the letter X, which is not a valid Federal Reserve Bank letter. The Secret Service picked up X bills for quite a while after filming wrapped. And I apologize, it was the director who passed the money lol quote:William Friedkin, in his memoir "The Friedkin Connection", says that the fake money they made was so good that, after some of it left the set, he eventually heard from the Secret Service and a US Attorney. After he avoided a confrontation with them, Friedkin states, "When the film came out, there were news stories about people trying to make counterfeit money after seeing the step-by-step process in our film. I took some of the twenties, those printed on both sides of course, put them in my wallet, and spent them in restaurants, shoe-shine parlors, and elsewhere. The money was that good." haljordan fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Jul 15, 2023 |

hey maybe someone in this thread can help me with this i have a very strong memory of a 70s spy thriller. kind of fell somewhere between Ronin and Spy Who Came In from the Cold, atmosphere-wise. cold war paranoia, lots of running around different cities in Europe, and also with a tense scene involving the old shuttle at Dulles airport. in my memory this movie stars Richard Burton and Alain Delon. but i cant see anything in either of their imdb listings that looks like it. does anyone know what im talking about?

The winner of a Batman Royale would be Affleck Batman. He machine gun straffed a bunch of private security guards from a plane just so that he could steal a rock they were transporting, without even knowing exactly what it was. No way he’s gonna lose against a bunch of “no kill rule” Batman

i was surprised how much i liked the pattinson batman. like when it came out i was really tired of batman movies and batman as a concept, and i thought it was stupid that they were making more batman movies with anyone because like come on. but eventually i saw it and actually enjoyed it a lot. colin farell was really good too
