Mistake Not... |
THIS! I HATE lawyer movies or movies about trials (or shows for that matter). But this movie I can watch every time and I do use parts of it from time to time in trial during voir dire or closing argument. ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.

Definitely a great flick. And Fred's last film. He passed away less than a year later. But he went out on top of his game, capping a forty year career that was certainly more diverse than just "Herman Munster". I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

So many great scenes in that flick. But, the stuttering public defender was where I spit out my Cocoa Puffs.

It is true. Most movies and show about courtroom stuff are so unrealistic that they are unwatchable for lawyers. Scripts have the lawyers make bullshit objections, and allow absolutely inadmissible evidence in without a peep, just as an example. This movie mostly gets that stuff right, and is still an entertaining movie. Even though most days in the courtroom are dry as burnt toast and boring. It is hard to make a lot of testimony in civil trials very interesting. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Great movie. Maybe the funniest I have ever seen. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain. Jack Kerouac | |||

How could it take you five minutes to cook your grits, when it takes the entire grit-eating world 20 minutes? I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

The jail scene is real good. This is where Gambini first meets Stan while Billy sleeps. Let all Men know thee, but no man know thee thoroughly: Men freely ford that see the shallows. Benjamin Franklin | |||

Once in 1993 or 1994, I hung out with some friends at the Pittsburgh Airport because one of them was an extra in a movie with Marissa Tomei. When they were shooting her scene, she had to run through the airport and we said "Hey, we get to see Marissa Tomei in person." Nope, she had a double do the running.  | |||

God, he was my favorite, he was so funny. Early in the movie in the police line up, there is a really tall big guy, that’s a good friend of mine, Big Jim Stancil. | |||

Just like I hate 99 percent of cop shows. “The Wire” being the notable exception that is about right. | |||
