John Cazale is the right answer. Was in The Godfather 1 & 11, The Deer Hunter, The Conversation, and Dog Day Afternoon, was the love of Meryl Streep's life and died at 42. Hard to one up that run.
Everyone talks about The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, and rightfully so, but The Conversation is masterful. Maybe my favorite Gene Hackman performance. He’s often such a BIG character but his restraint here offers so much quiet vulnerability. Also, the score by David Shire is fantastic.
he’s an incredible actor. I haven’t seen a film of his that I didn’t like and most end up on my favourites list. I am slightly biased because I love him but he also just adds to the film in a way that I personally haven’t experienced/seen with other actors. he’s mesmerising. I’ll be so sad when he dies.
Come hang with some PI.FYI folks at Franklin Park in Crown Heights in Brooklyn on 7/19 @ 6:30. riotgrrrl and slowdazzle will be there too! Link is the Partiful invited!
Its a web app that people submit 1 song per week and then everyone gets to vote on the all the different songs but their own. After all the rounds have been completed, the person with the most votes wins! Its a fun way to share music with people and get competitive. Been using this app with other online communities and friends for a few months and have really been enjoying it.
NOTE: I created a PI.FYI League where the first submission is this friday. I limited it to 25 people for now not sure if I should open that up to more but it would be pretty overwhelming to have more than 25 songs to listen and vote on. The join link is attached to this rec!
riotgrrrl and I are planning on going to Jonathan Richman at the bell house 3/10 if anyone else is interested, drinks beforehand at Halyards. Hope people can make it out!
