There is a huge difference in being overrated/underrated, depending on who is doing the assessment.
Someone can be underrrated by the general public while being lauded by Hollywood and pseudo-intellectual,

i hope you feel better after saying that.

No fuckin way. He does some questionable movies every now and then, but he makes up for it with doing 80 movies every year. He does a great job in most of them as well.....even if the movie itself isn't that hot...

I personally have always thought that DeNiro was better than Pacino so to me DeNiro mailing it in the last 10 years or so is the much more greivous offense.

Norton is also great in The Illusionist, which is a highly entertaining film.

A Beautiful Mind is a truly awful film.

Loved him in The Insider and LA Confidential, though.

You need to watch it 3 times in a row to get the full awesomeness of it.

Indeed. You'll also most likely have to do some sort of hard drug before and during the film...

And then get another TV and watch The Lawnmower Man simultanously with Virtuosity for the full experience

Doug Butabi: So anyways, I was standing there waiting to use the pay phone.
Steve Butabi: Yeah, he was, seriously.
Doug Butabi: And this guy who was on the phone, turns around and tips his hat like this.
Steve Butabi: And who do you think that guy was?
Doug Butabi: Emilio Estevez.
Steve Butabi: The Mighty Duck man, I swear to God, I was there.
Doug Butabi: Of course you were, you were the one who yelled the Breakfast Clubber's name.
Steve Butabi: I was like, "Emiliooooooooooooooo."

Paul Giamatti is great in every role, from Santa Clause to John Adams...even his part in Saving Private Ryan. It really shows the bias against normal looking people in Hollywood that he is not a bigger star. I always wonder if his dad told him if Pete Rose ever threw a game


He was awesome as Pig Vomit in Private Parts.

Honest to God, if I was stranded on an island and I could only watch one thing for the rest of my life, it would be a reel of Richard Schiff West Wing scenes...

Sam Seaborn: About a week ago I accidentally slept with a prostitute.
Toby Ziegler: [pause] Really?
Sam Seaborn: Yes.
Toby Ziegler: You accidentally slept with a prostitute?
Sam Seaborn: A call girl.
Toby Ziegler: Accidentally?
Sam Seaborn: Yes.
Toby Ziegler: I don't understand. Did you trip over something?
