Perry (Caro.PA@XEROX.ARPA) says (about Sigourney Weaver): "... she hasn't had a good role since 'Alien'" C'mon, Perry! What about "The Year of Living Dangerously"? She played a character far deeper than the one she played in "Alien". (The movie was quite a bit better, as well.) I think that she'd make a great Scirocco Jones, incidently, regardless of her nose and beauty. Andrew B. Siegel (with regards to Andrew D. Sigel) philabs!rdin!abs

That is, the first half was wonderful, but it seemed to run out of steam. The ending was ambivalent and unsatisfying. But to the point: Sigourney's part could just barely be considered more than a bit part. Sure, she provided the "important" plot turn for the hero, Mel Gibson, but for the most part she was mere window dressing. An excuse for a steamy love affair. Any way, What's-her-face-that-got-Best-Supporting-Acctress by playing the part of the male photographer stole the show. And just to keep this message pertinent: If you've seen "Silkwood", you might agree with me that Cher would probably make a better Cirocco than Weaver. I kid you not! (... click-clack ... click-clack ...) Hell, if you could put up with all the protests and jazzercise, Jane Fonda would make a decent Cirocco! Perry

From: Mike Brzustowicz <mab@aids-unix> She also played the "heroine" in a movie called "eye witness". It was not nearly a bit part, and I think she did it well. -Mike <mab@aids-unix>
