But then, as Samuel L Jackson critiqued him at the time: "But he was playing himself. That's not acting. Now I want to see him play a doctor or a lawyer." Or a corporate investigator sent to check up on the progress of super-smart sharks whose brains have been enhanced to fight Alzheimer's. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I would like to go back to Curt saying he didn't remember Karen Allen Did you not watch Lost Ark or Crystal Skull? I mean it is kinda hard to ignore her character 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have this weird desire to see Eminem eaten by super-smart sharks whose brains have been enhanced to fight Alzheimer's. The "playing yourself" point is weird. Courtney Love in The People vs. Larry Flynt is one of my favorite on-screen performances by an actress, but I can admit: Yes, there were elements of the real Love in that character. Which is what made it so great. But, ultimately, she was still acting. And she did other films and TV roles after that. She was fine in them. Eminem, meanwhile, 100% played himself. And has done nothing since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James From various accounts, Holcomb struggled for years with drugs, alcohol, mental illness and other issues. She reportedly lives under another name and does not want to be found.

Elsalvajeloco Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I believe Southpaw was written for Eminem. Gyllenhaal ended up replacing him. We would have had the acting trio of Eminem, 50 Cent, and Rita Ora (one of the Weinstein bros. got amped for Ora's 5 minute cameo FWIW). That's like a 2006 low budget, direct-to-video film that I would have totally rented for $3 a decade ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 It would have been fun to see him in Wanted, since the character in the comic was drawn to look like him, presumably becuase Millar desired him to pick up the rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 EDIT: Re: Scrooged Noted prior so I didn't think I needed to bring it up. Re: RIPPA I was bitching about others not remembering her, even though I personally hadn't seen the Jones films in forever, and never watched Crystal Skull. Reading my comment again I can see how it would be misinterpreted; what I meant is how could you NOT remember her from Animal House.

AxB Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Watching Shaun of the Dead last night, and it's odd how almost everyone in it has gone on to be more successful (nb: I'm sure a few of them are unknown to Americans since, but trust me) except the female Lead, Kate Ashfield. Who's done a bunch of TV shows I didn't watch, and not much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 This might re-define what we would consider "a one hit wonder" since she has been regularly in work and was A-list for a while there in the '90s. But, if we're talking simply about acting performances, how about Sharon Stone in Casino? Like, she actually acts DeNiro and Pesci off-screen. It's an astounding film to watch partly for that reason. And this from a woman who has never, in general, been that good an actor and bordered on embarrassing sometimes. But she sort of showed them both up. She's never been that good again and probably never will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Stone's problem isn't being a bad actress--she's decent enough and quite good with the right material. Her problem is she apparently ticked off and/or weirded out people. She won the Golden Goble for Casino, and got almost zero applause for it. And it wasn't out of shock over the win. It was clearly a case of "Ugh, not this heifer, we hate her" on display. Yet another example of a Hollywood star crashing and burning behind the scenes rather than lack of talent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome Miller Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 David Richmond-Peck. Most of you on this board apparently know him as "Olivier Duval" on Orphan Black. But to me and everybody who has never seen Orphan Black, he's best known as the polygraph operator with glasses who interrogates Keanu Reeves in the trailer for the 2008 remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still and has a psychic seizure. IMDB says he's had dozens of roles since 2008, but apparently most of them were walk-on roles or bit parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I quite liked Sharon Stone's performance as the single mother in The Mighty. Not a lead (although I think they put her front and center on the video box), but a warm and sympathetic portrayal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffSnackwell Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 All I can think of since seeing the Electric Boogaloo Cannon Films documentary, is Golan and Globus asking for the casting department to get that Stone woman to do their Alan Quartermain movies and then after seeing Sharon Stone on the set asking "who is this bitch?" Apparently Stone woman meant they wanted Kathleen Turner from Romancing The Stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood also happily applauds guys like Roman Polanski and Woody Allen. Granted, Stone might be a diva and difficult on set. But no way does asking for Evian water at the right temperature, or whatever, compare to what those guys (confessedly and allegedly) did. Basically: We probably shouldn't trust Hollywood to decide on someone's morality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was good in Basic Instinct. But she was playing a film noir femme fatale parody. No one who could exist in the real world. Too icy. Too cold.
