The Devil's Advocate
We decided recently (today) to see that old movie again (after many years) and we were somewhat surprised by the many interesting details we'd missed out on... fairly good special effects for a 13 year old movie (we'd say)...
"Great holy armies shall be gathered and trained to fight all who embrace evil. In the name of the gods, Browsers shall be changed to carry the internet out amongst the peoples and we will spread Firefox to all the unbelievers. The power of the Firefox will be felt far and wide and the wicked users of IE shall be converted to use the true browsers."
Curious about our color? Feel free to ask...

Re: The Devil's Advocate
It's one of my favourite films. I love anything Faustian, and I love Al Pacino even more. His epic tirade against God in the final scene is great movie moment, my personal favourite part being the bit where he describes love as overrated and biochemically no different to chocolate.

Re: The Devil's Advocate
When we first saw the devil character there, we thought it was the same actor as general landry, even if a quick search robbed us of that illusion...

Re: The Devil's Advocate
Great movie, havent seen it in several years but still remember it fondly.
I dont usually go for Al Pacino films because I find seeing him as a 'Hard man' a bit comical, but this one actually draws attention to him wearing 'booster heels' to look taller which I found very funny, great script and acting, story works well ( not totally original as various parts of the movie remind you of other movies/stories ), [spoiler]and the ending where the devil just switches to exploiting another sin is perfect[/spoiler].
Last part spoilered. Thanks](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall")

Re: The Devil's Advocate
You got any similar movies (faustian and all that) to recommend, mordack?
Oh, and do people agree with that comparison we made?

Re: The Devil's Advocate
Oh, I remember this movie. I enjoyed it. Long time ago though.
I love movies like this, and another recent one was called "Devil".. I think.
