Glengarry Glen Ross

I still think it's a goofy name for a movie, but I finally watched it for the first time this weekend. Verdict: Outstanding. I would have never of believed that a movie about land salesmen who do nothing but talk would be any good, but I was sorrily sorely mistaken.

And I've never really been a fan of Jack Lemmon, but he was simply incredible. If you ever want to feel the pain of the desperate American worker (and who of us haven't felt that?), watch him in action.

Cast members: Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Alec Baldwin, and Kevin Spacey.

The other cast members went on to bigger things too.

No lookers in the lineup, but great talent.

That still matters........to some!

The quote made by Blake played by Alec Baldwin is, "PUT. THAT COFFEE. DOWN. Coffee is for closers only. You think I'm fuckin' with you? I am not fuckin' with you." The quote is in the first 35 seconds of this YouTube clip.

Mzchef can say the f word but all other bloggers get censored. Go figure.

I did NOT "say" the "F-word" I quoted a line from the "R" rated movie that is the topic of this blog entry. I also provided a clip from the "R" rated movie containing the quote. I personally have NEVER used THAT type of language.

Incidentally, Barry's Blog when on its BEST behaviour is "R" rated.

ANYTHING Mamet is worth watching- Watch "The Spanish Prisoner" with Steve Martin & Campbell Scott SEVERAL times (so you'll get it all)- perfection.

1:24 Anon - maybe Barry just enjoys making an a$$ out of some of us.

After all, he knows everybody who posts on here.

Kinda makes me wonder though how bad a post has to be for him to censor it.
