SPY GAME
This is certainly not the best movie Redford ever made, but I think it rocks. It is somewhat hilarious that Redford plays a CIA handler here when he has pretty much made a career out of being the whistleblower (think 3 Days of the Condor). The fucker can make-believe, though.
I like Redford, despite his politics. He leaves his shit at the door, so to speak. He does not piss me off.
Paul Newman pisses me off, though, and I love his work, too. Newman is a freaking consummate actor, as is Redford. But Redford doesn't throw fucking salad dressing at you to subsidize Sandinista death squads, does he?
However: I will always remember the young chick finger-fucking herself to Newman's pic in Emmanuelle. THAT is the kind of legacy one aspires to. Meanwhile, life sucks, sometimes, because that ain't happening to us.
Who says that ain't happening to us? Why do you think I put my picture on my page? I know my legacy. Maybe you would know yours if you put up your picture instead of Angel Eyes. Just Damn!

Posted by: Dax Montana at December 8, 2003 1:35 AMThree Days Of The Condor...at the time I thought it was one of the greatest movies ever made and I still like it a lot to this day although, watching it now, it comes off as painfully naive....
Posted by: mr. helpful at December 8, 2003 8:03 PMAt yet, Mr. Helpful, as painful as it is to watch mid-seventies CIA flicks, the scene in the elevator, when Redford suspects Max von Sydow is the assassin, but Max just smiles, and says, "Kids. They're probably the same everywhere" is fuckin' genius.
