Kay, Did You Really Think I Would Let This Movie Finish Without Alerting The Audience That I Would One Day Direct "Jack"?
By Ted Barlow points us to an interesting Onion piece about bad scenes in great movies. To me, the choice is easy: the scene in The Godfather Part II where Kay confronts Michael. It’s jarring to find a below-average soap opera scene in one of the very greatest of American pictures. “It was an abortion, Michael. An abortion! Like our marriage is an abortion!” Diane Keaton is puzzlingly awful here–particularly since the acting in the film is otherwise so exceptional–but nobody could do anything with that dialogue. And I suppose one can see why it’s there: some scenes are so crucial to the plot that they can’t be cut no matter how badly they turn out. But still strange.
