(23,294 posts)a hilarious romp with Kathleen Turner, the handsome Quaig brother and Stanley Tucci - who plays a grade Z hood who is trying to make a big score. His name is "Muerte" and every time he encounters the Blues (Turner/Quaig) mayhem ensues.
It is set in New Orleans; our good guys are named Blue and NO is famous for The Blues
All the ancillary characters are hilarious as well, even the smallest part but Muerte steals the entire movie.

(39,792 posts)There are lots of actors I like, but there are genres I'm just not interested in. Antonio Banderas for example, I like him in a ton of movies but I would never watch Spy Kids. (He was scorchin' hot in Desperado. 🔥🔥🔥 )

My preference of books, television and movie genre(s) is most likely considerably different than yours.
It sounds like you need to stay in more!
P.S. I forgot to add Bill Bixby and Dan Haggerty to my deceased favorites too!
Harker
(16,318 posts)My wife gets swoony for Sam Elliott. I can do a passable impersonation of his voice, but I refuse to let my moustache get long enough that I have to keep pulling it out while I'm drinking beer.🍺
I'll bet we overlap a fair bit... I'm reading the correspondence of Hermann Hesse and Thomas Mann, watching the 1965 and '66 seasons of "The Avengers", and the last movie I watched was "Five Easy Pieces."
Yep, always on the cutting edge of culture!
