I’ve been a fan of Martha since the Goonies even though she played the annoying one. I’ve looked for her in movies since and when I found out that she was starring in Raising Hope by the fantastic creator of My Name Is Earl, I was thrilled because I knew this was going to be good.

And it wasn’t…. it was GREAT!

But I want to take a moment here to lament the fact that what I think is one of Martha’s finest performances ever, is still not available on DVD. It’s a movie called Silence Like Glass in which she co-stars with Jami Gertz (one of the hot actresses from the 80s/90s). It’s about two girls in a cancer ward and how they deal with it. I’ve not seen it in years since I abandoned VHS around 1999 but I remember renting the VHS over and over again because it was THAT good.

So how about it people? How do we get this movie onto DVD?

And Martha, I hope you win!
