Debbie does Dallas is a classic "I'm told".
I think @taniwharugby said it will get interesting at day 7.
So rom coms, anything with Hugh Grant after that? When the insanity is taking hold? -

There’s certainly far too much Adam Sandler there

I watched The Deer Hunter again the other night. I love the movie but had forgotten how long it was (~3 h). Trimming about 30 mins off some scenes like the wedding would have made it so much better.
Anyway, John Cazale was dying of cancer during filming and passed away before the film was released. He only appeared in 5 full length movies:
The Godfather (1972)
The Conversation (1974)
The Godfather: Part II (1974)
Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
The Deer Hunter (1978)That's some resume.

Gotta love the Fern - post a serious question and the first 4 responses are as useful as tits on a bull - love this place! :face_with_stuck-out_tongue:
Thanks @canefan , good suggestions - need to think about the rapist/pedo in ConAir, cant remember how in-your-face those scenes were - and the groupie midget sex scenes in Zolander, though I think those would be fine from memory

@voodoo Chris Buscemi right? Don't remember them being obvious
Steve Buschemi was the pedo. He was OK I think, creepy song aside at the tea party, the other was the caged guy at the front of the plane who wanted to (and almost did) rape the female guard!

@Bovidae I'm glad I didn't see that trailer, I definitely think it's better going in knowing nothining.
:::
I didn't even know what genre it was - it could have been a musical for all I knew, which woulld likely have caused me to walk out.
:::
I never watch trailers nowadays, they spoil so much.

Cole Hickel is my new favourite action movie hero name.
Cole Hickel, a Marine, pursues his daughter's killer when he is allowed to go back to Paraguay because of "diplomatic immunity."

Hmm ...
When Mary-Ann Compton and Sandy Franzetti from Los Angeles fulfill their childhood dream of a journey through New Zealand's countryside in a motor home, it turns into a nightmare. Not only do their teenage daughters, computer-geek Kerry and fastidious Jaretha, not get along at all, they also get lost in the bush and are suddenly attacked and hunted for by two poachers. So the four women will have to learn to team up and fight back the evil forces.
Diplomatic Immunity (1991) ⭐ 4.6 | Action, Drama, Thriller
