Knox Goes Away coming in at 61% Fresh on RT atm now - fnck yeah........it's ok btw .....worth a watch For all the cheap action-thrillers that come out, Knox is at least solidly done, it gets better as it goes too. And even though it's a minimal role Pacino is so relaxed and hilarious - there's a lot of color he def brought to it......watching Animal Planet (like in Scarface, Donnie Brasco), which connects to his wardrobe..... a little spotlighted dance (too many in his career to count!)...... and lines like "All kinds of people make this world, don't they?" That's kinda like the famous line Lee Strasberg said to him when he auditioned for the Actors Studio. Also btwn House of Gucci's massage scene and the great bathtub scene here ("I divorced her before you were even born, baby" - what a line).... Pacino is feeling sexy and shirtless in his 80s ! Also how about the little exchange with the fence, played by Dennis Dugan......his Jack & Jill director! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/MZ2eSp2yC2LljdVTLpdl.gif)

"well-uh ma eyes see OpEnhEimer!" Not news but still cracks me up. Never change king. I love it. And the funniest part to me is when it cuts to the dumbfound crowd and you hear Pacino off-screen say, "wuh happen?"

Little updates.... Scarecrow/Needle Park screening June 1/2 in L.A... Q&A with Pacino & Jerry Schatzberg (who's turning 97), moderated by Bernard Rose (Lear director!) Speaking of Lear, unconfirmed but it seems one of the producers is Lawrence Bender (Pulp Fiction, Greta) and his company describes it as a "reimagining of Lear" which I'm ok with if it means Huppert is cast as The Fool ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/VX9qBdLG_XyugpFkNIU4.gif) Easy's Waltz - Shane Gillis in the cast.

From the book back cover - or insert - I guess - from Amazon: From one of the most iconic actors in the history of film, an astonishingly revelatory account of a creative life in full
To the wider world, Al Pacino exploded onto the scene like a supernova. He landed his first leading role, in The Panic in Needle Park, in 1971, and by 1975, he had starred in four movies—The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon—that were not just successes but landmarks in the history of film. Those performances became legendary and changed his life forever. Not since Marlon Brando and James Dean in the late 1950s had an actor landed in the culture with such force.
But Pacino was in his midthirties by then, and had already lived several lives. A fixture of avant-garde theater in New York, he had led a bohemian existence, working odd jobs to support his craft. He was raised by a fiercely loving but mentally unwell mother and her parents after his father left them when he was young, but in a real sense he was raised by the streets of the South Bronx, and by the troop of buccaneering young friends he ran with, whose spirits never left him. After a teacher recognized his acting promise and pushed him toward New York’s fabled High School of Performing Arts, the die was cast. In good times and bad, in poverty and in wealth and in poverty again, through pain and joy, acting was his lifeline, its community his tribe.
Sonny Boy is the memoir of a man who has nothing left to fear and nothing left to hide. All the great roles, the essential collaborations, and the important relationships are given their full due, as is the vexed marriage between creativity and commerce at the highest levels. The book’s golden thread, however, is the spirit of love and purpose. Love can fail you, and you can be defeated in your ambitions—the same lights that shine bright can also dim. But Al Pacino was lucky enough to fall deeply in love with a craft before he had the foggiest idea of any of its earthly rewards, and he never fell out of love. That has made all the difference.
