Interview with the passengers of bus 2525


It's 5 years old, but still an interesting read. Cortez AKA Gigantor also seems to be rather a jerk in real life and funny how much Beth Grant dislikes her own character!

Yeah twas a good read.

Yeah cortez started off a little pissed but i think its because he just wanted a better representation for his people which is understandable especially in the 90s. He did chill out as the article went on and seemed more appreciative. I also laughed at beths anecdotes about her role and the behind the scenes stuff. Great read!

‘His people’ 🤦🏻‍♂️

Great article! I must add Speed to my list of things to watch with the kids.

reply

Oh, the kids will love it, I know I did back then!

Yes it's funny to think about which movies become classics and which don't stand the test of time, isn't it? Speed is a really fun movie. Ooh, Thanksgiving is coming up, which means it's time to watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, another timeless classic.
