Yeah, I think you're right; is she still in conservatorship, or is that aced out? I don't know, that seems like something she needed at least back in the day, and I feel in general that fame can do weird things to people.
I see the similarities, especially in being daring and versatile with their choices of roles. On another note, Jennifer Jason Leigh is my 2nd favorite actress of all time (love what she's been about decade after decade).
"Look how sane I am, everybody!"; yep, that's a statement no one will ever hear me say. I like Britney Spears though, and it's difficult for regular people to keep it all together sometimes, so I can't even imagine how an entertainer at the level of fame that Spears possesses gets along.
I don't know, I don't mind looking at her at all, although I don't have faith in people who work in high government:-(.
Vice President of the deli division of Wal-mart Neighborhood Market, I believe (as Peyton Manning once said, "Cut that meat!").

I'm not about moderation either (that's why I eat the entire wheel of Wal-Mart cheesecake), but there's just a lot of touchy, jumpy, and uptight people out there who make the Cameron character from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" look like one of the crew from "Porky's". I mean, nowadays one has to be so specific (and even then certain individual begin to fold); I just had a dealing with that on the Kay Lenz page on here when I said she seems self-contained, and someone got all up in my keyboard grille about me saying that, so then I had to over-explain.
But I agree with you, it's pretty simple for people: if they don't like something or feel like they'll be uncomfortable or don't want to hear it, then stay away from it and do something else (ha ha, maybe go moderate something, at a moderate level).
I can believe that (what they fail to realize is that simple word of mouth and general human judgement can temper the Box Office production of a film without online communication; like that whole "Silent night, Deadly Night" deal back in the day. Anyways, I'd like to believe that a lot of people out there can think for themselves and make their own choices for entertainment, no matter reviews), and also that IMDB probably didn't want to moderate comments anymore as well.
Oh yeah? That's good news! I see some of my old comments sprinkled on here and am always surprised and delighted to see them (probably because I'm egotistical). I miss how the old IMDB site was though, but then there was a writing site called Triond that crashed and burned around that time, along with Showtime going black on digital cable in that era. A lot of nonsense if you ask me:-).
Yeah, I was going to mention "The Delta Force", so I'm glad you did; I thought Forster was great in that spot as well (cue "The Delta Force" theme, which the film certainly did, early and very often:-).
He definitely made some mistakes (I can't argue that much of what has been made public of his personal life doesn't look good, but it is what it is, I guess), but I remain impressed that he rose from bodybuilder to become a major Box Office draw (I also believe his acting became better as the years progressed, if maybe the quality of his films declined). I can't speak for his terms as California governor, since I've never lived there, but I like him more than I do Andrew Cuomo:-).
Yeah, fitting that Forster was the star of a film called "Medium Cool"; I agree with AndyUjku87 in that Forster had an understated coolness about him, like he was secure with himself and self-assured. I like a lot of stuff he did: "Committed" (1991), "American Perfekt" (1997), "It's the Rage" (1999), "Me, Myself, and Irene", "Mulholland Drive", and, of course, "Jackie Brown". I thought it was a joy to watch him perform (I feel the same way about another Robert, Robert Urich).
Thank you, Quasimodo, I didn't see what the big deal was anyway. Besides, I like it when people (famous or regular, though with the way communication is nowadays, I feel almost everyone reaches some level of celebrity) pursue life on their own terms, which it appears that Kay Lenz has.
Yeah, I agree, since we just don't know the details of if either of them were interested in having kids, it's such as an unknown.
Yeah, that's true, I mean "self-contained" in the sense that it seems that Kay Lenz found that marriage didn't suit her (I don't know how she feels about kids), and wanted to make her life choices independently (focused on her career, maybe realizing she can meet her goals just fine on her own). As for children, I think it varies (my aunt & uncle babysat me a few times and took me on a few trips; my mother and I feel that I was their test case on if they wanted children or not, and decided from that having a kid wasn't for them. I do know how they feel about kids:-) and is a totally different subject altogether (a person can want/have a child, but not include a partner to share in that, or vice versa, of course). Heck, as of this moment my marriage/children resume is the same as Kay Lenz's: one marriage, no children (briefly a stepdad through marriage).
I think that marriage to David Cassidy was her only marriage, and no children; I guess she's lived something of a self-contained life (my aunt & uncle never had children, so that can happen). I agree, her career and general approach is pretty rare for her era; maybe she knew what she wanted, was aware of her limitations, and lived according to that.
Yeah, I felt early 2000s films were pretty rough going for me as well; many times I tried to seek out something I wanted to see in a theater, and eventually gave up (viewed "Under the Tuscan Sun" in 2003 & "Uncut Gems" last year, and that's been about it for me on that front).
Yeah, this film is pretty brutal, and the girlfriend was shown for mercy and treated with no dignity by the gang for sure.
My question: did the kidnap victim OD or die from the heroin? I mean, this is a pretty cruel film, and that scene (among others) got to me a little (like the film though, but it IS cruel). I just wonder...
Love the Coach Craig T. Nelson mustache, even more than I like his look in "Action Jackson", which for me is saying a lot.
