Pacino worked at Commentary magazine, but that was long ago and he was in the mail room.

> Is Al Pacino one of the great Jewish actors of our time? <

Maybe so. My sources in Hollywood tell me that Pacino wants to say his famous line in Godfather 2 this way:

“I know it was you Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart! Oy! What a schmuck you are!”

I think he’s still smoking like a chimney too. Jack Nicholson too.

A lot of Italians who are getting DNA tests are finding they have a lot of Jewish blood in them..... I’d imagine the same is true for Spanish people..... Italy and Spain are one of the first places the Jews lived after fall of Jerusalem.... There weren’t nearly as many people in these countries at that time, and there were a lot of Jews.... So the locals interbred with the Jews and it stayed in their genes as the populations increased over the millennia

Amazon’s “Hunters” was some of the worst dreck I’ve ever seen.

Does it really matter if he’s gay?

Well said. There are so many things wrong with this big budget original. We couldn’t make it past the first few episodes.

History has tied all Italians and Jews together. That tie can never be broken. Think Marc Anthony, Cleo and the inter-marriages which happened strictly by nature and proximity.

I remember what he said after his first divorce, paraphrased: “Don’t marry an actress. If you do then you will always come second and her career will always be number one.” ;-)

...mob lawyer and Donald Trump mentor Roy Cohn (in HBO’s minseries version of Tony Kushner’s “Angels in America”)...

In all my life that is the first time I have ever read of any connection between Roy Cohn and President Trump. What the heck?! And Cohn was not exactly a low-key public figure...

“Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

Either way, it doesn’t matter.

Gotta’ agree. Tried to watch it. Dreck is as good a word as I could think of. I don’t think I even made it much past thirty minutes.

"Amazon’s “Hunters” was some of the worst dreck I’ve ever seen."

I watched it, and figured out the ending about an episode or two earlier. It was pretty bad.

Also watched “The Plot Against America”, and almost turned it off during the first episode. It’s based on an alternative history book. The first season was only 6 episodes. No word yet if there will be a second season.
