#Charles durning robert downey jr movie#
But I was too young to see this movie the first time – 12 to be exact – but I wonder how this movie did at the box office. This movie encapsulates all of the chaos and dysfunction of family get-togethers, plus a little extra because this is a movie after all. She is herself in this movie, so that’s a plus. Her voice, her lips, there’s something so wonderful about the way she delivers even the most pedestrian dialogue.
(Side note: if you haven’t watched Dead Like Me, you’re fucking up, it’s streaming on multiple sites right now.) Holly Hunter has always been a favorite. And we cannot forget Cynthia Stevenson, who is a fucking treasure in Dead Like Me. David Strathairn is one of my favorites, especially in A League of Their Own, but he’s one of those actors who has been in so many things that you couldn’t name. Dylan McDermott is the love interest who, at first, doesn’t seem like he bats for Claudia’s team. The truly legendary pair of Anne Bancroft and Charles Durning play Claudia’s parents. And this is really a Thanksgiving movie, but I’ve made this allowance for the blog before.Īdele: Wait ’til you see your dad’s organ! He can’t keep his hands off it! This flight looks phenomenal to me - the lady next to Claudia is eating food she brought from home.Īnyway, this movie was directed by Jodie Foster. 1995 is pre-9/11, of course, so air travel is nothing like it is these days. (His character is huge asshole, shocking.) Claire plays Holly Hunter‘s daughter - and the film opens with Holly’s character, Claudia, getting fired and Angela Claire Kitt tells her mom that she is going to have sex with her boyfriend as she drops mom off at the airport.
That doesn’t make up for Robert Downey, Jr*, he’s a dodo bird, but I’m willing to wait and see. Oh, there’s baby Claire Danes! Goddess bless her, I’m so happy to see Angela Chase.
