An open letter to Al Pacino:



Dear Al Pacino,

I am writing to ask you if you think that Scarface is the best movie of all time. If not, do you think it is the best movie you've ever made? It's certainly one of the only movies you've ever been in where you do not play a bitter, self-destructive alcoholic, so I suppose that says something for it. I think it is a good movie, but people who make rap music seem to think that there is not a better picture ever made than your Scarface movie. Do you like rap music?

Also, do you think that you are one the greatest actors of all time? You seem to play the same character in almost every movie you are in, which doesn't seem to me like it would be very difficult. I would like to seem a movie where you were nice and smiled a lot and maybe brought flowers to people who were sick in the hospital. I think that would show more range than the movies you make where you smoke cigarettes and use foul language. Maybe you could be in Patch Adams 2 if they ever make one.

Also, in the last 40 years, you've only been in 35 movies, many of which I've never heard of. That really doesn't seem like very many when you consider that Clint Howard has been in well over a hundred in about the same amount of time. Do you think that being in fewer movies makes you a better actor?

Also, I heard that you had sex with Beverly D'Angelo. Is that true? What's she like in person? I bet she's nice.

Please write back to answer my questions.

Your friend,
Mason
