I agree
shareHello captainbucky,
I like the movie very much, too - mostly for Eric Lloyd's performance... :-)
When I found the movie Luminous Motion (1998) some years ago - I had already forgotten about "Dunston..."; imagine the surprise when I found that the Boy Actor who sparked my interest in this latter one was just the same!
I guess Eric just had developed, already at an early age, a very good skill to impersonate characters of quite different sorts (just can't say that better in English, sorry ;-) ...for I can hardly imagine two movies with a more different overall "atmosphere"/style. First we have a wonderfully lighthearted comedy on the one side - and then a dark and mysterious story (which still leaves me guessing what it was all about, what was real and what was illusion, etc.) on the other!
Kind regards

Wow what an excellent and honest response. Thank you for sharing that with me.
shareHello,
thanks a lot for the compliments!
Over the last two or three weeks I found that there's still less "traffic" here on the boards than before... Maybe it's because in the U.S. there are Summer Holidays now?
I only wish there were more pages related to actors/actresses and movies, and on the existing ones there should be more traffic; not just on the general boards... To me, these "special pages" are the part of the site where moviechat still is lacking much of what was once available on imdb... until Col N. went m*d one fine day and scrapped the best part of it... grrr....!! ;-P
Kind regards

Yes well you might find a few of the people here stand-offish, I’ve made many friends here, and you have a friend in me. Let’s keep the good conversation rolling
shareI also heard you’re from Germany. Beautiful country. I’m from Canada myself
shareHello captainbucky,
what I would like to know - do you still live in Canada? And there's an actor whom I like a lot for some of his early performances -
Nathaniel Moreau - I wonder whether you have ever heard about these movies:
1) "The Kissing Place" (1990)
2) "The Last Winter" (1989 - not the horror movie released in 2006)
...and there's also
3) one episode of the series "War of the Worlds" (1988, I think; there were some 12-15 episodes - I'm just too lazy to check back at IMDB) where he is involved, as Special Guest Star, so to speak...:-)
Unfortionately (1) and (2) have been - to my knowledge - only released on video cassette... I have them both; and in fact, you CAN watch NTSC cassettes on a video player made in Europe; but only in b/w, with some green-ish stripes now and then... and of course it's not good for the cassettes. Mostly I keep them as "collectors items" only... ;-)
So I let a friend put these two on disc for me, some years ago, BUT of course I would prefer official releases... Especially The Kissing Place impressed me very much!
Kind regards

They didn’t have to make the ending so Old Yeller sad though. I was shouting at the screen, “Don’t jump in that water, Dunston! You know your bones too dense ta swim!”
But, no, he don’t listen and he drownt. So sad.
