From The Mailbag: We Are Not Robert De Niro
This nice note, inexplicably sent to our "tips" e-mail but addressed to onetime acting legend Robert De Niro, landed in our inbox early this morning. We felt it would be irresponsible not to pass it on, hoping that someone can help direct it to its intended recipient:
You're the only great actor. I own 22 of your films, and play them over and over! My favorites are "Once Upon a time in America" and "Stanley and Iris". Please make some more films!
Considering his last three gigs (voiceover work in Shark Tale and American Express commercials notwithstanding) were Godsend, Meet the Fockers, and Hide and Seek, maybe we can urge him to make "better" movies before urging him to up the output.
