I remember I did this with Forbidden Games, (which I haven't seen yet) and mixed it up with Exotica (which surprised me much--I love to be fooled, but it's not easy).
My memory is gone these days, but the actor who played Clint's boss is usually entertaining for me. Why can't I remember his name????
An I love Sean's voice, but he's made way too many stinkers lately (I suffered thru the jungle doctor one, hoping the shaman would kill him and take the girl).
Clint looked like he was playing Return of the Night of the Living Dead. He looks terrible--horrible actually. To see him even in the same room with a young girl turns my stomach. And Sean should get a life too. So a young actress will do anything to get a job on film? I guess so. These old men need to play their age. Don't tell me a woman in her 60's can't look good and act sexy. Have you seen Sophia or even Racquel?

  You are right. While I am for cutting good people major break, there is limit to everything. I probably have not seen all his stinkers, but then again I am trying to be selective with my time and money and generally don't even bother with about 90% of what is being produced. With so many good movies that I have not seen yet, why get stomach upset over another well, stinker?
  ***Clint looked like he was playing Return of the Night of the Living Dead. He looks terrible--horrible actually. To see him even in the same room with a young girl turns my stomach.
  Yeah, but what did it do to hers?
  
  ***And Sean should get a life too.
  He's been trying. They caught him with a lover some time ago.
  ***So a young actress will do anything to get a job on film?
  Nowdays that seems to be anything but to learn to act.
  ***I guess so. These old men need to play their age. Don't tell me a woman in her 60's can't look good and act sexy.
  Me? No, I will not tell you that. Maybe we should go out together some time. Oops, maybe not.
  ***Have you seen Sophia or even Racquel?
  Of course, and neither is really my idol. But I agree, the beauty and grace have little to do with age. Often they only keep getting better.

    I haven't seen her in anything lately, but Catherine Deneuve seems to be aging well. Add her to that list of contenders for most gorgeous woman in film when she was at her glorious peak of beauty.

      saw the reruns last month of this forgettable film with the ice queen: Grace Kelly. Wonder how she's doing?

        I'd say that was about fifteen years ago: she died when the Rover driven by her daughter fell from a steep hill in Monaco.
        She was beautiful for a short time when she was young, but she quickly had become a stately mama with more grace (no pun) and dignity that real beauty.

        Ahhh, that's right! I remember now. Those SUV's are dangerous things, and shouldn't be used on paved roads at any speed, let alone the speeds they are now capable of.

        ***Ahhh, that's right! I remember now. Those SUV's are dangerous things, and shouldn't be used on paved roads at any speed, let alone the speeds they are now capable of.
        That was before the SUV madness. Hers was the 3500 model, a hatchback, a nice car and quite stylish. We once considered buying one - my wife fell in love with its right away, but then we talked to some folks and bought an Audi instead. Rover sold the 3500's in the US in the late 70's or very early 80's, I believe, so "successfully" that it virtually destroyed the brand name. The best thing about that car was its dashboard - two people could comfortably fornicate on it.
        But you are right about the SUV's. My high hour is usually right after the snowstorm, when I drive my BMW to work past those big ugly things sitting in the ditch - our roads here are windy and hilly. Their drivers believe in their invincibility - the size is supposed to replace the skills.
        
        but have you seen how they are marketed? petew 10:59:07 10/11/99 (0)

        Mr. Khomenko, I'm so happy to hear you say that about the SUV madness. As sales approcach 50% of the US market, I am in mortal fear whenever I leave the driveway. I remember that during the March '93 "Storm of the Century" I couldn't resist the temptation to take the wife's lexus (my front-drive Audi with the racing tyres was horrible in the snow) out for a "spin". I was the only car on the road for miles around. Everywhere I went I saw 4-wheel-drive vehicles spun-out or stuck in the ditch. The handling and breaking of those things is poor on dry pavement, and downright dangerous on slippery roads.
        Before I became a fat and lonely audiophile, I used to race up to Little Gap, PA during every snowstorm. I remember during one storm, I maneuvered the Audi right behind a plowtrain of Six PENN DOT cindertrucks. We moved from Landsdown North at about 35 miles/ hour. When they pulled off at the Allentown Maintenence center, a Ford Exploder zoomed past us at over 70 mph. He was out-of-sight in less than a minuite. About 15 minuites later we passed him. He was upside down in the ditch--and his three ski buddies were trying to get their crushed skis out from under the wreckage. The driver had a bewildered look on his face, as if to say, "But I have 4-wheel -drive!"
        The problem is, if you look at the commercials for these things it's not surprising what kind of people end up buying them. I feel sorry for them. Sure, we'd all like to see the road better, but that's not a good reason to get one. If the roads are so trecherous that you think you need 4-wheel-drive, you probably shouldn't be out there anyway. A typical American sedan with snow tires all around will out perform any SUV in all but the most rediculous conditions. You can get a very nice handling sedan for commuting to work, and spend the extra money on one of the driving classes--my Father in Law took the local BMW class last month. He ended up buying the Audi A6 though. What a wimp.
        Oh, I may have misunderstood you: "It's a Gas!" an expression meaning, It's an enjoyable experience... I think it comes from the use of Nitrous Oxide gas as a mild intoxicant. If you've seen the comedy movie "Better off Dead" there's a scene where the friend is in the grocery store buying airesol whipped cream by the bagfull. If you take your Reddi Whip and don't invert the can, you get a blast of nitrous oxide and a temporary euphoria. Eventually it leads to coma and death. "It's a gas!"
