It worked for me, but I completely get that it's possible to find it dragging.<br /><br />That question in <i>Prizzi's Honor</i> is great because of how it works. It really defines Charley Partanna, and it's also the moment when Maerose goes on the offensive without Charley knowing it.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-70365703484894766062013-08-26T19:58:32.907-05:002013-08-26T19:58:32.907-05:00I'm afraid I did find The Dead kind of boring....I'm afraid I did find The Dead kind of boring. I was with it for 30 minutes or so, but then it started to drag. To me, it felt like a short film that had been stretched to the breaking point to try to make it feature length. I didn't hate it, but I didn't particularly like it, either. It had great sets and costumes, though.<br /><br />I liked Prizzi's Honor a lot. You hit the nail on the head in describing Nicholson's character. And I've only felt the "Nicholson playing Nicholson" thing in his more recent films, especially the comedies.<br /><br />The eternal question: "Do I ice her? Do I marry her?
