It could have been the most interesting thing Miss Bitch USA has ever done in her entire career. And who could resist seeing her in a neck brace for 100 minutes? And every time she did her own, over the top, big, fake laugh, her vocal cords would pop and the neck brace would go flying across the room. I would like to see something like that very much.
But I'm sure we won't get that lucky.
😄 Ms. Roberts would make an ideal Mom, in a reboot of Mother's Day. I can picture her dressed up to look like Rose Ross...."I'm so proud of my boys". I love the original 'Mother's Day'-80 and is one that I tend to forget about, unless mentioned. They made one about 5yrs ago, with Rebecca De Mornay and it wasn't bad; but not much to do with the original films story.
shareThanks, Rascal. 😉
My memory has been jogged, and now I think Rose Royce did the super fun song "Car Wash". And I never saw the De Mornay remake. My friend Alan did, and I think he thought it was "okay". (I thought she was more than up to the task in the formulaic suspense-thriller "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle") It's hard to top the original "Mother's Day" in terms of grimness/dark humor/satire (though kind of weak satire). I'll never forget the opening scene when that awful blonde girl opens her mouth to give the camera a grin and reveals her evil black teeth... only to get topped by "Mother". That made me flinch.
Rose Ross, aka Beatrice Pons
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0690490/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1, was terrific in MOTHERS DAY and while you have mentioned the satire might be weak, it was hidden behind an exploitative and tawdry presentation, yet also boasted good acting, a nice backwoods atmosphere, some suspenseful and disturbing scenes and how many films around this time tackled this kind of black satire, of sociopathic lives being played out, that have been entirely influenced by the media? The film made the male characters look like jerks, even the boyfriends of the girls and then balanced it out, with presenting us with a mother who could be considered worse than the guys. I also thought the Ike and Adley actors were real cuties, inspite of their gross behavior and Ike's rotten prosthetic teeth. 😉 Must re-visit.
