We watched this gem of a movie, Stand Up Guys. Very entertaining.

This is a great Pacino movie if you’ve never seen it, worth rewatching if you have.We’ve started to watch some of the older movies too. Funny as De Niro and Al Pacino have come up in a few. It was more about acting, a good story and less special effects.
Good thing about getting old is you can watch them and only a scene or two are remembered but the rest of the story is brand new.
"I'm a ****ing star!"
Based on a true story.
I remember seeing it in the theatre. Fantastic movie.
Many years ago we were in New York city on one of those great fall nights, went to some play and came out hungry. We found this quite looking Italian restaurant, as I was craving eggplant parmesan, and found it on the lit menu outside. We go down these steps into a quiet, elegant looking quiet place. A few patrons and the food smelled great. We order and as we get the bread and wine, this cool dude quietly enters wearing a hat, tipped over his eyes, wearing a bright coloured suite, sits in the corner, a few tables away from us, everyone seems to know him and nod quietly, waiter shakes his hand, and a few words exchanged. It was Al Pacino. He sees wife and I are staring and he gives us a quiet smile and nods. Coolest and only encounter I've ever had with a celebrity.
