Fantastic!
She has always dogged the rumor that her Best Supporting Actress win was a mistake, that presenter Jack Palance read the wrong name. She must’ve been relieved after this past ceremony to witness exactly what happens when this takes place.
“As a hostile witness??”
Who is George Costanza?
“I have accomplished courtroom attorney friends who say that all you need to know about criminal court room law can be learned from that movie. Love Marisa Tomei in it.”
I am retired now, but I was a courtroom attorney for many years. I once went to a Continuing Legal Education seminar where the lecturer used only this movie! I learned several important lessons from that seminar that I used effectively thereafter.
I agree, Tomei’s character was great. I knew the answer to the skidmark question because I had a friend with a ‘63 Tempest into which he shoehorned a 326. That car had the rear transmission which had IRS (GM adapted it from the Corvair.)
That is the default position for artistes, media types and academia until proven otherwise.
“Mr. Gambini, don’t sit in that chair when you talk to me!”
“He told me to sit here.”
“When you come into my court you will dress lawyerly.”
Way too many good lines in that movie.
‘Lebbum bushes”.
When did She film,
THE WRESTLER?
“Yeah, like you blend.”
I don't know. Elvis Presley's illegal alien manager reportedly got the studio to tone down Ann-Margret's performance during the production of whatever Elvis vehicle.
What’s a ‘grit’?
“Oh yeah. You blend!”
Yes, very good in that. Recently she’s done a number of movies. No part as good as Mona Lisa.
Oh, oh, oh. You think I’m hostile now, wait ‘til you see me tonight.
My biological clock is TICKING LIKE THIS (stomps foot repeatedly) and the way this case is going, I ain’t never getting married!
Or her biological clock!
Plot hole, OK, I can buy She was an expert enough to be able tell by the photograph the marks were from a different car, but how was Vinny who had no training on cars able to?
...in order to give more of the spotlight to Pesci.
I about fell out of my chair when they moved out to hte country, and he tried falling asleep and that screech owl let loose-
The movie cast the perfect actors- period- Pecci- Tomei- the judge- the laywer for hte kids at first- he was a riot-
one of hte funniest movies EVAH!
