I don't want to take long. I think most of our aging stars in Hollywood have sold themselves to stinky piles of feces. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are just 2 of those sell outs. De Niro pumps out what feels like 5 films a year, and none of them worth breathing on. Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Meet Meet Meet! It is weird to think his last interesting outing was via Tarantino in "Jackie Brown" (1997) 13 years ago. As for Al Pacino, the same amount of films are being pumped out, and slightly more in recent film ended up on a decent shelf, "Insomnia" (2002) being the latest... just a touch under a decade. Before that was also 13 years ago, in "Donnie Brasco" (1997). Sold film souls = Unforgiving.
I could keep going, but the conversation would touch on familiar topics regarding the whole of Hollywood. Legends tainting their legendary status... its sad really.
