The House of Corleone - A Universal Picture

"You talkin' to us?" "Whoa"
Is it just me or does the above picture look like a scene from a Saturday Night Live skit? Now I haven't seen Righteous Kill - it may be a great film but this pic looks like two self parodies - but the teaming of DeNiro and Pacino seems like a move from the old days of the movie system. "Hey, nobody is really paying to see Dracula and Frankenstein seperately anymore, but if we put them together..." If the film makes any money it'll just be a matter of time before they come out with Abbott & Costello meet the Mob. But since A&C are dead it'll be Will Ferrell and Jack Black in the comedic roles and D & P playing the Mob guys with a title like Men of Dishonor or Not So Wise Guys.
