100% the case for Rohner for me, even though I don't remember him in anything after G VS E.

Oh, definitely. For years people always assumed I was much younger than I am and whenever they asked my “secret” I’d say, “No drugs, no booze, no cigarettes, no sun and no kids.”

I think it’s because I work with a lot of people that age and most of them look like babies to me and the people in this movie definitely do not—except Driver.

Oh no, I wasn’t referring to you! Just some rando who was like “Bruce Willis has dementia” to a post where I specifically refer to Willis’ condition.

The funniest part about GROSSE POINT BLANK is how all these people at the reunion are supposed to be 28 and they look like I did when I was 40.

It's fair when it's clear they're agreeing with you, but bizarre when the tone is aggressive and seems to imply that you're an idiot.

Always weird to me when people think they’re making a new point in a reply to a post you made that directly makes the same point. Is it lateral mansplaining or just the regular kind?

Sadly, Gloria Grahame too.

Half-Allan, Half-Mott, All Monster @houseofglib.bsky.social · 10h

Yep!

And Mickey Rooney.

Today is our municipal election and I’m voting for the mayoral candidate who followed me on Twitter years ago after he saw me do a slideshow presentation. Most of our interactions have been Taylor Swift related.

Looking it over, I feel like Val Kilmer is in the mix too.

In case you worried that everything is terrible, I just checked my Uber-user rating for the first time in forever and it's up from a low of 4.85 to 4.93.

Half-Allan, Half-Mott, All Monster @houseofglib.bsky.social · 10h

Yeah, he'd definitely be top 5.

Half-Allan, Half-Mott, All Monster @houseofglib.bsky.social · 11h

Faye's lows weren't as low as Karen's, but Karen's highs weren't as high as Faye's, so it's definitely a toss up.

Mike Myers was mostly self-exiled. He hasn't starred in anything successful post-LOVE GURU, but his roles since then have all been stuff he did for fun rather than because he needed to keep working.

Half-Allan, Half-Mott, All Monster @houseofglib.bsky.social · 11h

The only reason I wouldn't count Willis is because I think those roles were specifically taken to work around his condition. Had he maintained the capacity to remember and deliver lines, the fall wouldn't have seemed so steep. Also, I think Steven Seagal outranks them both. 😂

Although, I can imagine her losing out to Faye Dunaway.

Half-Allan, Half-Mott, All Monster @houseofglib.bsky.social · 11h

Yeah, I think he's up there.

Half-Allan, Half-Mott, All Monster @houseofglib.bsky.social · 11h

Maybe Karen Black?

I feel like if you count the period between 1977-1978 where Jan-Michael Vincent was in DAMNATION ALLEY, BIG WEDNESDAY and HOOPER, then he'd qualify. I feel like David Carradine only had BOUND FOR GLORY, which is not enough to count.

Seeing a poster for a late era Burt Reynolds movie has me wondering which past superstar had the steepest fall from the A-List to the Z-List over the course of their career. Not counting character actors, but actual household names who led major budget studio films.

Always a nice feeling when you use your podcast account to see why a post in a reply thread is blocked and you see a dude you don't remember saying that going to video stores sucked and you're happy to know you'd already banished them from your TL.
