I had to watch it on MTV

I remember being eight and waiting for it to have its ONE TIME ONLY TV AIRING on MTV in June '95. Recorded on a VHS and watched it every day for a week

one day, I go get the tape and find my brother recorded over it with some Cinemax porn! mad

You too?

I saw it one time and was, I gotta admit, a little squeamish after looking at it. lol

Looking back, I'm think "He was in space....what happened if he ran out of hair grease and eyeliner?"

Anjelica Houston's character would've gotten a ass whoopin' instead of a dance routine lol

I know, right? What was SHE thinking? falloff

I'm surprised Jack Nicholson allowed her to be in this generation's Ed Wood science fiction redux of "Thriller". lol

And I thought the same, "man, he ain't got enough activator and Soul Glo to keep his hair shiny or enough eyeliner, lol!" lol

angel345	zsasz said: yeah i think you are right, crowe did start off in a band (cant remember the name of them though) i cant believe david bowie isnt on here...the man is an extremely good actor (his film with takeshi kitano in a japanese POW camp is immense), and an amazing mime artist too. He also played in a movie called "Labrynith" and though I haven't seen it yet, I read that it's pretty good.

Jennifer Lopez should really be in the other thread about actors that dabbled in music.

We did, but it is better not to comment.

But I thought Mike was great in Ghosts. Not in Moonwalker though. And the Wiz is OK, too.

"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all."

Neither of them are genuinely good actors. Like almost all music artists they can only be called "good" if you make allowances for the fact that they're moonlighting.

Gotta agree about Frank Sinatra though. He was a prat who was just begging to get his ass whooped and an overrated singer imo, but he could definitely act. No question about that.

lipstick	Also deserving a mention are Debbie Harry and Roger Daltrey. They are capable actors.

Harry Connick is the best i have seen, and musically hes one of the best musicians all around, so pretty much a well rounded guy, who gets very little praise.

Love Tom, but this is probably the best he's done as an actor. I think Jarmusch let him improvise a lot here, so I s'pose that helped.
