She refused to go to The Postman which I probably saw at a theater in Palm Harbor, FL unless the Oldsmar 20 Theater had opened by then. The Postman - Rotten Tomatoes


Request Rejected

Wow 8% on the Tomato Meter. I never saw one that low. That means that "Waterworld" was about 3 times as good. I think I saw "The Postman". It was about after the Apocolypse one guy tries to make the world right by delivering mail. That's all I remember about it. It must have been very forgettable.

AKA "The Wet Postman"...

A cinematic coup for sure.

Mel Brooks gave him a good hearted dig about that...

There's a line in "Robin Hood, Men in Tights", where Carey Elwes responds to an inquiry asking why the people would follow "him"...

He replied, "Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent!"

But it had Tom Petty in it!

Kevin Costner's best role was in "The Big Chill"...

'Gone with the Wind.'
Thought his makeup and portrayal of Clark Gable as Rhet Butler was absolutely brilliant!

Nice, yeah...

I found Field of Dreams interesting because even though the story itself was sort of sketchy, there were a lot of real people being represented by the actors. Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe Jackson, for example. The part played by James Earl Jones, the character of Terrance Mann, was actually based on J.D. Salinger, who in real life was a famous author as well as a well-known recluse, which I thought that Jones brought out brilliantly. And Archibald ("Moonlight") Graham was a real person as well: he actually did only appear in one major-league baseball game, and practiced medicine in Chisholm, MN (about 40 miles from where I grew up) for decades. His philanthropy was well-known. For example, he would collect old eyeglasses and then, on specified Saturdays, fit kids whose parents otherwise couldn't afford them with glasses.

And I loved that the field in Field of Dreams was an Iowa cornfield. Can't get more middle-American and Everyman than that. Interestingly, that field still exists. I think one major-league game was played on it, with plans for more.

Ditto. I particularly liked Dennis Hopper, who played the Deacon of the 'Deez.

And then, of course, there's Jeanne Tripplehorn...

Dennis Hooper was excellent.

I liked her in "The Firm", but her movie career seemed to have ended with "Waterworld". Since then, it has been mainly TV.

I liked her as Dr. Garner in Basic Instinct.
