I don’t know I or he would call him tragic but he definitely had some huge ups and downs.

ETA: reviewed his wiki page to make sure I hadn’t missed anything. Yeah not tragic at all IMO. Lived a fast and crazy life and still made it to 89.


Oh, he had money and partied, but after Chinatown, things went

downhill. He never really restored Paramount to its glory days,
and his personal life ( wack wife and daughter) was a mess.

Finshed it last night, way late to the party

I thought it was fantastic, even if it's not 100% accurate. I & II are probably #5 & 6 on my all time favorite list. Probably 2 & 3 on what I consider the best movies ever made. I am definitely rewatching the saga sometime soon.

I like the scene where the unions walk out.

The scene at dinner was amazingly done. You could tell who was who and them playing actors playing other characters was something special. They all nailed it, especially the Pacino character.

Just watched this series in 3 nights. I loved it. And yes, the dinner scene was phenomenal and I hope that's how it really happened. I know there's was a lot of liberties taken and this was Hollywoodized, but man it was such a good series.

We just did a rewatch, mainly to enjoy Goode's performance again. I'd forgotten that half of Easy Company from Band of Brothers appears in this series.

It holds up. More enjoyable for me since I went in knowing that we'd get sitcom versions of most of the main characters. I was more impressed with Collin Hanks this time around. His character possibly develops the most over the series.

Really looking forward to the I Play Rocky film.
