This movie, to me, and when she gets into the bathroom, you have the Dennis Quaid character in the bathroom talking about how over the hill Demi Moore is as an actress. Or, you know, Elizabeth Sparkle is as an actress. And I, from that sequence forward, this movie was as much about the actor playing this part as it was about the character she's playing.
And the total... I have never seen... Demi Moore is committed to a lot of parts. I mean, G.I. Jane being maybe the ultimate striptease, being an ultimate part commitment. She's never been the strongest line reader. She's never been the most convincing...
when her when when she has to hit an upper register like anger is not something like verbal anger verbally expressed anger but she can make her face twitch her eyes can do that like um you know like they're yeah they're they're like sizzling a little bit when she's when she's suffering um And but her lower register, you know, you know, suck my dick that that that line and G.I.
Jane, I mean, she can sell those lower register rages. But this was something new for me with Demi Moore, where like her physical commitment to the part had emotional stakes.
Uh, yes. And I think that, that's fair.
But if you're, I'm sorry.
Yeah. But can I just real quick, like if you're an Iranian voter, do you care about 40 years? You don't, you're just doing best performance, which is great.
I was just about to say, Bill, there's so many moments like that in her career.
Right. But, you know, Strip Cheese. Wait, let's go back to 1990.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You're throwing too much at me. I know. Hold it. Wait, let's go back to Strip Cheese. That movie was more than a paycheck movie. Like, it was, I believe, well, it did pay her a lot if memory serves.
But it was also at the peak of her demeanness, right? She had a great 1990s. She had, I mean, she was a top five box office draw. She was in Indecent Proposal.
I don't think she had that in her is the thing.
You, what do you think? Cause it's not like she didn't get the right part.
No, no. I think that that's not it. Because I bet you she and Elizabeth Shue are the same age. I think... Yeah, you're right. They probably are. I think that Demi Moore... And this is why she's so good in Ghost, by the way. I think that she presents as invulnerable, right?
I mean, her whole thing when she became a real major movie star where people were paying money to see movies she was in was just about her toughness, right? I mean, she's often the only woman in these movies. A few good men, she's the woman.
It's her worst part. And maybe like her worst piece of acting because she's kind of seemed secondary to everybody else's priorities. And so, you know, Rob Reiner is a great director of actors. So I don't know what his side of this.
I mean, I'm sure that I mean, I can't say no. I definitely would have loved to have seen her play the part. I don't have an argument for why she couldn't have done it. Like, yeah, like cast her into casino. I thought you were going to go with basic instinct.
No.
This is why I want to go back to Mortal Thoughts, because it's a great combination of the thing I'm identifying about her that I like, which is the strength with these pockets of vulnerability.
