I had this idea of myself as a shy, kind, sweet chap. I was working with Winona Ryder and she turned to me and said, “Fuck, man, you’re really intense!” I was so shocked, I went, “What do you mean? I’m not intense, I’m sweet!” My passion and energy get mistaken for anger. ~ Gary Oldman

My favorite movies of Al Pacino include The Panic in Needle Park, Scarecrow, Serpico, The Godfather movies, Dog Day Afternoon, Scarface, Glengarry Glen Ross, Carlito’s Way, and Scent of a Woman.
He was the king wherever he went. He walked like one, he behaved like one; and he was the most masculine male I have ever met in my life.

Unforgiven (1992)
Director: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman
Overall Rating: ★★★★
I can’t not love a good Clint Eastwood flick and Unforgiven is definitely up there. William Munny is such an easy to like character, despite his background, there’s a charm to the hard-ass turned pig farmer. I thought the movie was fantastic, well-written and definitely not lacking in camera work, there’s some beautiful wide shots in there. All in all, amazing movie, fanfuckingtastic ending.

[Referring to Clark’s role as Rhett Butler]
“When the book Gone With the Wind came out, all over the country they started writing letters about Clark Gable to play that part. The only one that was dubious about it was Clark Gable; he wasn’t sure that he should play it. He didn’t like the part because the part of Scarlett O’Hara didn’t always love him and Clark didn’t believe he should ever play that kind of role. In fact, he once said to me, ‘That’s the only picture I ever did in which the girl wasn’t sure she wanted me the minute she saw me.’”

“Gable had something that no other actor ever had, which was this marvelous sense of power and authority when he came on the screen. No matter what he was doing - when he walked into a room, your eyes just went up to him. There was a kind of aura about him.”
