One of her first roles. I love her. And I love \*\*Robert Forster \*\* too. ---

> [@cbawlmer](#): > > One of her first roles. I love her. > > And I love \*\*Robert Forster \*\* too. So, is this the end of the line. I know exactly who Robert Forster is but I am drawing a total blank beyond _Jackie Brown_ and some commercials for the _Karen Cisco_ tv show (spin off of J. Lo’s _Out of Sight_). Little help here? **Maureen**? **Nightwatch**? **Vogel**? **SVF**? Anyone? _Hello? Is there anybody out there?.._ ---

Despite the nagging familiarity of this guy (I just watched _Jackie Brown_ last week), I’m also clueless as to what else he is in. ---

Hi, guys! Robert Forster played the coach in **Like Mike**. (I’d like to thank my kids for forcing me to watch that.) ---

I saw a tape of that movie during a Purdue women’s basketball booster club trip, and thus know that it features **Lil’ Bow Wow** (who’s apparently just **Bow Wow** now). ---

One for the “disappointingly good” category…_Barbershop_. Rented it hoping for a MST3K session, but instead it wasn’t half bad. ---

Funny movie. _Sean Patrick Harris_ was in that. ---

:smack: Yes, thanks, **Sternvogel**. Most of me is back from vacation. The brain not so much. Selma Blair. I wasn’t too thrilled with _Teen Dangerous Liaisons_. It took a lot away from the plot, and basically turned it into 90210 goes hard core. Very distressing. ---

> [@Gfactor](#): > > Welcome back! > > Let me be the first to say: > > **Hellboy** I’ve not seen the movie, but I have seen the trailers. And it’s obvious, even under all of that makeup, that Ron Perlman is in there. BTW, he’s one of those guys that deserves a lifetime achievement award from _someone_. ---

YAY! I get to mention one of my favorite movies (I am convinced I am the ONLY one who has ever seen this movie, with the exception of a couple of dopers). **The Last Supper** ---

I loved that movie and was even thinking of the Rush Limbaughesque character that Perlman played in it when I said he should get a lifetime achievement award. As for Mr. Alexander’s body of work, how about _Jacob’s Ladder_? I could never figure out exactly what that was supposed to be about, but it was creepy. ---

VERY creepy, and I got the distinct impression I should not have been watching it sober. Danny Aiello was great. Underrated, as always. Who played the chick he was living with? Not his blond wife, the other one. She was…good, but when she grew that snake tail, it definitely freaked me out. ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > Who played the chick he was living with? Not his blond wife, the other one. She was…good, but when she grew that snake tail, it definitely freaked me out. I think that was Elizabeth Pena. Another greatly underappreciated actress. I agree. Am another Danny Aiello fan here. One of my favorite movies, that he had a small supporting role in was _The Professional_ .
