We sort of wonder how big the truckload of money that pulled up in front of Al Pacino's house was, but seriously, we know his last few movies ("Righteous Kill," "88 Minutes," "Two For The Money") have, well, sucked but has it really come to this?
The actor has done his first commercial ever, shilling for Australia's Vittoria Coffee. The spot was helmed by Barry Levinson who directed Pacino mostly recently in HBO's highly acclaimed, mutiple Emmy nominated film "You Don't Know Jack" (ok, so that one probably didn't suck). The spot goes for an off the cuff vibe with Pacino talking about how much he needs coffee, how integral it is to his work day, but even when talking about a cup of joe, Pacino is fucking intense.
Oh yeah, that music? "Cello Song" by Nick Drake. [Gawker]

Ha! This is awesome. I love it.
That's actually Nick Drake, doing the original version of "Cello Song", not Jose Gonzalez/The Books, who did a cover. A small point, but an important one.
I quit drinking coffee a year ago, but now I have to have to have to have that COFFEE!!! . .. NIKE DRAKE!!!
I think even the members of The Playlist would agree that this is better than most of Pacino's recent feature work.
wow...awkward.
