The Devil's Advocate

John Milton: Let me give you a little inside information about God.
God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts.
He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear
for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition.
It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow.
Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick,
fuckin' ass off! He's a tight-ass! He's a SADIST! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? NEVER!

John Milton: You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it can split atoms with its desire;
you build egos the size of cathedrals; fiber-optically connect the world to every eager impulse;
grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green, gold-plated fantasies, until every human becomes
an aspiring emperor, becomes his own God... and where can you go from there?
John Milton: Free will, it is a bitch.

Cruising

Steve, a policeman assigned to investigate a serial killer in the gay underground community in NY.
A world starting to be revealed by the movie lenses...minds being explored, googled on, voyeured..

The delicacy of being a man, a policeman, with a girlfriend, dealing with all the newness of that particular community, existing for such a long time in plain obscurity and darkness, always neglected by a part of society.

The fear of the unknown, of the strange, of himself.

The desperation from the closeness to the possibility of being murdered, the instability, walking on the razor's edge..

That film's about it all...and Al does it greatly, as always.

Author! Author!

Just rewatched it, after many years..
Great movie, lovelly story about a playwritter who lives with 5 children, not all of his own, and a wife.
Has to deal with the pressure of finishing a play, dealing with a divorce and some of the children leaving for their natural father's home, and later coming back to him =D

Beautiful, I love the song that frames the movie, love the way Al relates to the children, laughs with them and they with him. Love the beautiful load-off he gives the ex-wife..so great..

Another great movie with my dear dear Al...

Scarecrow

Two strangers on a road waiting for a hitchhike.

After they introduce themselves, start to chat, everything ignites...
and their lives will never be the same.

Craziness, pure joy of living, of surviving, surviving time, surviving themselves, each other, every day...everything..or almost.

Two persons adventuring themselves down hitchhiking till Pittsburgh, confronting with each other and others, revealing their pasts, talking about the future.

Dealing with things as they come but trying to stick with the plan.... THE PLAN!!!!!!!!!!!

hahahhahaahahhahaa

great movie...
brilliantly performed by Al and Gene.

Frankie and Johnny

'Now, there's a man and a woman. He's a cook. She's a waitress.
Now, they meet and they don't connect. Only, she noticed him. He could feel it.
And he noticed her. And they both knew it was going to happen.

They made love, and for maybe one whole night, they forgot the 10 million things that make people think, I don't love this person, I don't like this person, I don't know this.
Instead, it was perfect, and they were perfect. And that's all there was to know about.
Only now, she's beginning to forget all that, and pretty soon he's going to forget it too.'
