Have to agree.  He had a number of successful parts well after TNBT.  ALIAS definitely was a great run as he was in it for the five seasons it was on, as well as being in the successful film "Monster In Law".  He has been in a steady number of movies and TV shows up until 2018.

To be fair, I think he was typecast as “the gay guy” before he worked with Madonna and had only had a little bit of success as that. His sexuality made it harder for him to get other roles as the world was more homophobic back then. Plus, literally every big actor has a flop movie now and again.

You do have to give Rupert credit for having the guts to be openly gay though. So many other had bigger success by staying in the closet.

Yea, this is so true unfortunately-  life was very different 24 years ago and longer and we forget that, because now we live so freely in most parts of the world.

It is said that this specific lightning has costed thousand of dollars because she wanted to look young. 

Nah that's tabloid sensationalism, they lighted Morticia Addams years before for a whole movie easily.

And she looked incredible. It was the only good thing about this movie so money well spent!

I think I watched WTG once, maybe twice I used to have a VHS recording of it. I tried to watched it again about 10 years ago and I was done in the first 15 min.

Apart of DSS and DT that I watched few times I don't think I ever watched any Madonna movie more than once, some like Swept Away : Never.

...I watched Evita and League about 3 times but since they were released.

I actually really enjoy Swept Away 🙈 and I love A League of Their Own, in my opinion that’s her best performance, or at least it’s my favourite performance. 

She was great in Evita, but for me… I don’t know how to explain it. Like, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” and “Buenos Aires” are okay songs, but I love the Pablo Flores remixes. I wish there was a Pablo Flores remix of the movie! 🤭

The worst thing about Snake Eyes is how self indulging from Ferrara and Keitel it is. 

She's really good in it though and i don't think she was bad in any movie she did, she was average in bad movies. That's the main reason i don't watch her movies once i saw them, it's not because of her, it's because the movies are bad and would have been bad even with another actress. Body of evidence is boring and looks like a tv movie version of Basic Instinct which already looked like a tv movie and was cringy tacky (verhoven signature). For Dick Tracy they spent too much time on how it looks than on the script. It's flat, no action scene and musical numbers who could have brought some rhythm were butchered. Who's That Girl it's like they did not know what they were doing and it reminds me of Whoopie Goldberg terrible 80's comedies following the brillant Jumping Jack Flash they tried to replicate but never could. I can only watch WTG in french because i can't stand the voice she chose to use in that movie.  Evita is boring, it can only be watched on a big screen to appreciate it. Even the Woody Allen she has a 2 minutes cameo in is boring bad. 

And when you watch the movies she was attached to and didn't make, well most of them were boring and flops when released with another actress.

Her true jewels are Desperately Seeking Susan because it's a good movie and a time capsule now and Truth or Dare.

Bloodhounds of Broadway. That for me is my favourite movie she's in. It fit her perfectly. I like the time period, just before the Great Depression and the Wall Street crash, the costumes, the ensemble cast, the lighting, the songs... And absolutely adore Howard Brookner. I've always gushed over this film and my love for him. And it's always overlooked. The strength it took for him to finish it and how everyone involved, including Madonna, was by his side and helped him get there 💔

League is an enjoyable movie and she is great on it. Evita is a beautiful movie but I never liked the story or reason to do a musical about it.

I love Four Rooms, but she is more like a feature in it.

Sadly the released version is not his vision, the studio recut the movie without his consent and according to people close to Brookner, they did a terrible job.

Yes I think the narration was done after he died?

All in all it’s not too bad. It’s watchable. Which is more than I can say for many of her films.

I wonder if “Who’s That Girl” would’ve been more watchable if her choice of voice for her character Nikki Finn wasn’t so grating. I’ve watched it at least once since it came out and that’s what stuck with me the most. It had some fun moments though. 

[Tudors 1,011]

Who's that girl is iconic. I will have no Nicki Finn slander.

I've been saying this from the day those remixes were released. I cannot believe one of you macadamias hasn't made "Evita: The Miami Mix". Don't look at me like that! We've had (terrible) dance mixes of YMLM. We've had the god damn Lady M Show for 20 years! Fire up that AI and get on it, girls. 

Back to the topic. TNBT annoys me because it starts out  kinda cute and fun and could really go anywhere. And then they decided to make it Kramer vs. Kramer. Like....really? You have Lynn f*cking Redgrave and make her an extra?! Did anyone read the script before they signed on? Did it become a totally different story while they made it?

I don't know I think it has that vibe of 80s silly movie, BUT bad 80s silly movie. Her character comes across really fake too, her Susan character is pretty similar but is likeable and it comes more natural.

Yes, I heard that too. Wish we could have the original cut with the original music. Can't remember his name right now, but the film's composer and I had a chat a long time ago for an interview and that's when he told me the music you hear in the film was not what they intended, that apart from the vocals, it was all redone. "I Surrender Dear" is such a bop.
