I can’t believe how much Pacino looks like Paterno. https://t.co/Hn9WSH4Dzu

Someone asks him (Paterno) did he know about Jerry. And he nails that facial expression of incompetence, ostritch-in-the-sand, semi-senility all at once. Hopefully though, this special will keep alive the evil that was done at Penn State so people won't forget.

Unfortunately, I'm sure they are going to "white-wash" it. Casting him in the light of having to make some sort of moral choice between the kids and reputation of the university or some horse hockey like that. So everyone feels sympathetic towards Paterno, when they should be vilifying him.

HBO does a Larry Nasser movie? Who would play Lou Anna Simon? Gotta be able to deliver the same incompetent, ostrich-in-the-sand semi-senility Pacino did with Paterno. I want to hear her say showing up to listen to the victims "doesn't fit in her schedule."

Why were you looking at them all day? :) That's kind of weird.

Somebody posted it yesterday but Al Franken is a dead ringer for her.

please

Is this expected to be pro- or anti-Paterno? Or "neutral"?
January 19th, 2018 at 10:09 PM ^
Neutral:

"The film lays out the elements of the story and leaves you to make your own judgment," director Levinson said. "There are times when you may feel one way, and times when you may feel a totally different way, and I think that's what makes the piece so compelling."

IDK, but when you're 77, it's not like you get your pick of the roles

Second time Al's played a blind guy.

that it's not like we got a ton of material to figure out how the Sandusky thing really affected him or how he affected it, how the story really played out. We know bits and pieces and some facts that have been conceded, but you gotta fill in a lot of blanks.
Paterno and his family were so keen on reputation protection and he died not too long after the stuff came out. There never was a Paterno mea culpa, dude didn't write a book about it, didn't provide his honest view and memory of things to writers or journalists.
So you're just gonna get an outside view on Paterno. But if you're gonna make a movie about a person, you should know more about they really ticked, what drove their choices in the key parts of the story etc. Without that it's just not gonna have a lot of depth.

This, I think, is the valid objection to the movie: it simply cannot do what it set out to do.

Fuck Penn ST!!!! It never gets old!

Making a movie on this makes me sick. I kind of hope they have a scene with Paterno in huge distress after getting his ass kicked my Michigan in their first meeting in 93. Or was it 94? I was in the second grade. Hard to remember.
