"Hey, Mal...Wow, I forgot all about that Nick! "Hey, Mallory..."<br /><br />I think it's possible that I watched the first episode of The Tortellis. I was devoted enough to Cheers to follow spinoffs, even of characters I didn't really like. But as I recall, it was pretty painful.<br /><br />To your second point, good writing saves bad acting far more often than the other way around. How else can one even explain the career of Keanu Reeves? I learned long ago that one should never see a film for the actors. Director or writer, sure - but not the actors.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-24511697772053520092013-03-11T20:19:22.486-04:002013-03-11T20:19:22.486-04:00There was eventually an ancillary show called '...There was eventually an ancillary show called 'The Tortellis.' Those plentiful '80s spinoffs rarely had enough hope to float, though. Here's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKAhUkW8JSk" rel="nofollow">another Nick</a> that didn't quite get out of the gate.<br /><br />Seeing Julia Louis Dreyfus in that clip is a perfect example of how a good actor *needs* an airtight script to give off any kind of shine.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-26287425255042813892013-03-11T16:22:06.329-04:002013-03-11T16:22:06.329-04:00Of course!

The Volcano - have not seen that in many many years.<br /><br />The whole scene in Clueless between Mel (Hedaya) and Christian (the date, Justin Walker) is just brilliant - worth the whole movie.<br /><br />The same night we watched Clueless, we also watched Mulholland Drive (after the kid went to bed, of course).
