"I'm sorry, but I don't like Scarface (De Palma, 1983)"


          

I just saw it for the first time and I don't understand it's appeal. I'm not saying it's bad or overrated, but I found it to be boring and I feel bad because I've never met a guy my age (or any age for that matter) that doesn't love this film. When the SE dropped, all my roommates ran out to get it and I didn't question them cause I had never seen it but now that I have...

On a plus note, Heat was a lot better than I thought it was going to be but I doubt it needed to be three hours.
