Very touching film in my opinion
Meg Ryan looks great in certain moments
But what surprised me was Carrie Fisher
I thought she looked great for an older woman in the film
I have just googled it and she was indeed an older woman to Meg Ryan's 26 ......she was 31
Jesus Christ
In this crazy 2022 world of ours Meg Ryan faking orgasm is considered as ground breaking, and sexy, but if Billy Crystal pretended to pull his knob out in a restaurant and fake masturbation. he’d be instantly arrested and called a pervert. :shrug:
It's the kind of double standards that have brought this country downQuote:

Billy Crystal and Clint Eastwood don’t belong in the same sentence ffs.

Everyone's at it
Carrie Fisher was Bipolar and seriously ill for long periods of her career. She was hospitalised during psychotic episodes. By all accounts she was loved by her peers and greatly admired. I remember Stephen Fry interviewing her during a two-part documentary he did on Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depression). She campaigned a lot and spoke about mental health issues when nobody was doing that kind of thing.Quote:

She was very upset by the media ridiculing her weight gain which was down to the medication she was on. It was very cruel.Quote:

She was indeed . She was very unwell when interviewed by Stephen Fry in that documentary . It was very sad to see . The lithium and anti psychotic she was on clearly had dreadful side effects .Quote:

Richard Dreyfuss, who narrated the Stand By Me film, arguably one of the greatest films of its generation.Quote:

1984 , where have all the years gone
About 5 years ago I saw Meg Ryan walking hand in hand with some bloke at Downtown Disney. She looks much better in real life than on the TV.
