I will always remember Tomlin for 9 TO 5 and BIG BUSINESS where she teams up with Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton in the first and the indefatigable Bette Midler in the second, all good actors too.Prashant C.

Damn, she's really good! And also because of the "...to a dead person" part which just creates such a weird scene in my mind. No willy humor there, honest. I think.<br /><br />Martin was very good in the highly underrated BOWFINGER. I also like him playing against character as a bad guy in THE SPANISH PRISONER. He sure can be creepy.Anders Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06164550847416446757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-61086852620084363252013-03-12T17:47:46.830-04:002013-03-12T17:47:46.830-04:00This is one of those movies I saw a long time ago ...This is one of those movies I saw a long time ago and have never had a desire to sit through it again.
