Righteous Kill: Pacino and DeNiro... could this be a bad thing?

[Lachrymose]

now, at first i was excited (understatement) to see that pacino and deniro would be starring together (!!!) in the upcoming movie, righteous kill.

then i noticed 50 cent will also be starring in the movie.... so the question is, was that just a fault of the casting director? or is this a sign that two former greats have finally met the end of their acting careers?

[Maize]

Maybe the righteously kill 50 cent. I'd watch it.

[kordoyn]

It's impossible for a Pacino + Deniro movie to suck.

[Capricious]

Based purely on the preview, it doesn't look very good.

[Milo Hobgoblin]

LOL.. 50 cent?!?!?! Id be insulted if I were Deniro or Pacino.. even having that piece of ghetto trash in the same room.

[Lachrymose]

Based purely on the preview, it doesn't look very good.

yea, i was more excited when i saw the poster than when i actually saw the preview.. i'll definitely still see it, but i'm worried.

[Morthor]

They both starred in Heat and that turned out awesome. Hopefully 50 cent won't taint it.

[paade]

why would it mean the end of their careers..? Doesnt make much sense.
Maybe 50 cent gets shot at the beginning, hence the name of the movie.

[holychicken]

Or maybe 50 cents isn't as bad as you want him to be.

[paade]

Or maybe 50 cents isn't as bad as you want him to be.

not bad... hes Bad! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrCdvdgexvY)

seriously, thats the way 50 cent looks like IRL.

Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good?

Are you suggesting that 50 Cent would be the camouflaged comeback of Michael Jackson?

[Jester814]

I was very excited about this movie until I heard the POS "fiddy" was going to be in it. I have zero hopes for it's success. If you want to see a Deniro/Pacino movie, go watch Heat.

[paade]

Are you suggesting that 50 Cent would be the camouflaged comeback of Michael Jackson?

look at the timing, Mike goes underground and 50c pops up. Coincidence? I think not.

[ExiliuM]

Why do shitty rappers think that they can be actors? Everything with Fifty's name on it is doomed to fail. Hard.

[Killuminati]

At first I thought this might be good, but I immediately changed my mind when I saw 50 cent. I mean Heat had a badass cast which held it together pretty well. 50 cent if he only gets a few scenes might not fuck up the movie. I haven't seen the preview in a while so I forget if he will play a main part. This movie has a chance at being really great because those two can make any movie fucking interesting.

[Honorius]

Well, now remember what happened with Insomnia? Robin Williams, and Al Pacino, it wasn't a bad movie.

[Milo Hobgoblin]

Or maybe 50 cents isn't as bad as you want him to be.

he's fucking trash.. wanna be thug peice of shit. I fucking hate rappers.. especially shitbags like him. Fucking glamorizing a shit lifestyle of drugs, gangbanging, etc.

The day wont come soon enough that someone kills that dumbass. that whole culture fucking nauseates me.. almost as much as goofy ass little white kids who emulate it and defend fuckwads like 50 cent.

[Lotharr]

So what's your opinion on... er... just about any other modern music genre?

A few specific music styles have always been picked as a general object of despising and get demonized by the media. The demonized genres change as the years pass by, eventually.

See for yourself, I can give you a head start with this:

P.S. It's not like I'd be trying to glamourize 50 Cent, I'm just making a point.

[Tekon]

It's impossible for a Pacino + Deniro movie to suck.

I seem to recall the last movie they were in together... "HEAT"

It appears to have been posted already. Also the bashing of 50 cent is rather hilarious. You are all full of shit. What your posts should read is:

"I am jealous of 50 cent's fame and money and hot bitches, but am too scared of the sun to venture out into the real world and make some money for my self. Instead I will bash those who are more fortunate than me."

So your opinion that it is going to be bad is based on who he is and has nothing to do with his acting skills. Gotcha.

Also, you need to chill. Your hatred reeks of jealousy.

No you're a complete imbecile. Next you're gonna tell me get rich or die tryin was a great movie.

[omnigol]

When have rappers been in movies that are good?

If this movie sucks it'll mar deniros reputation, of course since taxi driver I'll still see any movie he is in, but I'll have to wonder if it's a shameless money grab or an actual movie and I might wait till it's out of theater. I could forgive it if he was still 'new', and needed a big name movies to get known. But after you are as accomplished as he is he is more than able to avoid movies shamelessly entertaining pop culture icons for name draw, while everyone knows they can't act.

I suppose there could be a miracle and 50 cent might pull off his role well, but historically all rappers ruin their roles, because they are desperately consumed with the need to act 'tuff' and 'streetwise'. While the only thing that comes across is that these babies are too insecure to express a single genuine emotion; and that makes for terrible fucking acting.

LMFAO!

My hatred of 50cent and the culture he represents is all about jealousy.. yup.. that's it. You figured me out.

Does it even occur to you my hatred of him and what he represents .. just might possibly have something to do with the damage Ive seen his culture do to the impoverished blacks in the US? He glamorizes EVERYTHING wrong with their society.. complete lack of responsibility.. the entire "gimme now" and "gonna git mine" attitude of inner city blacks. Idealizing pure materialism without the requirements to EARN those things.

The whole "thug" revenge mentality.. one of the reasons we have so many blacks in prisons for revenge based murders... his fucking prideful attitude about getting shot by other thugs... do I even need to mention the glamorization of drug dealing and "pimping"?

oh ya.. Im real jealous of all that. if you've read any posts about my past you'd know I stand for everything as diametrically opposed to that entire culture as one could get.

[holychicken]

When have rappers been in movies that are good?
Will Smith is a pretty widely acclaimed actor.

Marky Mark is also a pretty well established actor.

I thought Eminem did a good job in 8 mile. May not count because he was playing himself, kind of.

I also liked Mos Def in his films.

Those were just off the top of my head and I am sure there are more.

As if all rappers try to be street tough. Do you know anything of hip-hop outside modern pop hip-hop? And acting requires "genuine" emotions? You people seriously crack me up. If you are going to mindless hate a group of people, at least don't make it so easy to pick apart.

First off dumbass.. all rappers arent part of that ghetto mentality nor do they idealize the dark side of that culture. Will Smith went out of his way to keep himself away from that mentality.. as did Mos Def,.

Second off.. 50 cent is a conerstone of that ghetto trash mentality he walks the walk and talks the talk. He represents much of what is wrong with the way society views rap.. A few peices of shit like him ruin it for guys who try and stay away from that culture and still do hip hop yet may be villanized because of it..

If you want to defend rappers.. dont defend one so easy to pick apart.

All I did was tell you what I smelled.

Why are you attacking me? This is almost exactly what I said. Usually when a sentence is started "as if," they are saying that what follows it is not true. It might just be American slang, I am not sure if you are American or not.

I never defended fiddy. When I said he might not be as bad as they want him to be, I meant his acting skill, not his character.

But thanks for calling me a dumbass, the ad homs you throw into the debate really strengthen your point. Seriously, they do.

[Milo Hobgoblin]

.

Oh.. so now he is "fiddy"? LMFAO.. you're joking right?

His acting "skill" has NOTHING to do with it. He's a fucking thug and a criminal. I dont understand how you cant see a problem with that.

So according to your logic.. we should allow any thug or criminal or drug dealer do movies with Pacino and Deniro because they may have a little acting skill.

Does it even occur to you that by doing so .. you are legitimizing many of the things he glamorizes?

fucking wake up.

[holychicken]

Maybe I have you mixed up with another poster but the whole theme of this thread is that this movie will suck because of fidd. . . err, sorry. . I mean mr. 50 cent. I have just been trying to figure out why they think it will suck because of him. It seems that people think the movie will be bad because 50 cent is bad, and not because he is bad actor. I am not too sure about that because most people are too busy frothing at the mouth any time his name is mentioned to answer the question.

So according to your logic.. we should allow any thug or criminal or drug dealer do movies with Pacino and Deniro because they may have a little acting skill.
Where have I said anything about allowing anyone to do anything? You understand what a strawman is? You are really pulling out all the logical fallacies today. But I don't see why we have any say in who is allowed to do what. It is a free country. Our economy is basically capitalism.

Does it even occur to you that by doing so .. you are legitimizing many of the things he glamorizes?

fucking wake up.
Uh, okay?

Shouldnt that tell you something?

Let me ask you this.. if you found someone so distasteful that upon meeting them you'd rather flay them alive than shake their hand.. wouldnt it make it hard for you to enjoy a movie they appeared in?

A good example would be Rosie O'Donnel.. I find her so repulsive, such an utterly disgusting human being that I refuse to watch anything she is associated with..

MANY people feel that way about 50 cent.. that having him in an otherwise great movie with actors like Deniro and Pacino just fucking ruins the film..

[Honorius]

It's not just 50 Cent who sucks as an actor, look at Ice Cube, S Club 7, Cher, Meat Loaf. Musicians turned actors never end well.

Also why isn't his name 50 cents, 50 cent doesn't make sense to me.

[Lachrymose]

the movie will suck because 50 cent is a bad actor, not because he's a bad person. plenty of good actors are awful people irl and vice versa. for example, mccully culkin is a junkie, and peewee herman is a perv.

Im gonna venture that there isnt too many of us lined up to see their movies either.

Ice Cube is actually decent

[Honorius]

Ice Cube is actually decent

You best be joking, may I bring up Barbershop, Are we there yet?, BArbershop 2, Are We done yet. And he will be producing a Welcome Back Kotter Movie.

[omnigol]

Group of people? what the half dozen of rappers I know of from the media? There is no mistake here. Watch ice cube try to act, and re-read what I wrote.

[Killuminati]

Did you go watch it? Cause I sure as shit did not.

Nope, I assumed you did based upon your earlier response.

FUCK YOU!

His name is Robert Paulson.

[Mulambo]

Ice Cube is actually decent

I'm sorry, did you mean Ice-T?

[Barbarossa]

Why not throw Mos Def in the mix too so they can have two mushmouthed common street thugs with think they can act and two exceptionally great actors who will most likely be this films only saving grace.

Maybe it'll all balance out then?


Nahhhhh.

[Killuminati]

He actually wasn't that bad in that movie with Bruce Willis. Forgot the name.

[Barbarossa]

He actually wasn't that bad in that movie with Bruce Willis. Forgot the name.

Movie wasn't half bad "16 Blocks" but I don't believe Mos Def uttered one intelligible word throughout the whole film.

[Killuminati]

Maybe he was perfect for that part.

[Barbarossa]

Maybe he was perfect for that part.

Perhaps if he was shot dead in the first 30 seconds of the film.:sly:

Sorry man, bad acting can sometimes be forgiven but mushmouthed bad actors?

That cannot be forgiven.

[forestchild]

he's fucking trash.. wanna be thug peice of shit. I fucking hate rappers.. especially shitbags like him. Fucking glamorizing a shit lifestyle of drugs, gangbanging, etc.

Why you so upset i dont even know them, becouse ive hear plenty of this trash music and its not wurth it to listend and to bother with such trash bands.

If people would ignore trash like them they would not have glamoriz lifestyles with drugs and gangbanging they prolly in jail:P

[Ludo]

Mos Def is a rapper and his acting isn't terrible, it's quite over the average - thats at least my opinion. But 50 cent altough, I wouldn't want to see him act in either rapping or acting.

[Eskareon]

Gotta love people cherry-picking one fungus out of the cesspool.
