Madonna was perfectly fine in it

[flamingicecream]

And it's been the only film she was perfectly fine in.

I love Madge but the woman cannot act when she's in a starring role!

....except maybe Evita.

she is great in abel ferrara's Dangerous Game

[caramelaffair]

I agree. I thought she was great in that. Movie sucked but she was good

Gina Davis did "ok" lol what? She was the better choice and more believable as a star baseball player than Debra Winger would have been.

I like Debra Winger's movies but she's delusional on this one and this Madonna did a great job. totally made me forget that she was Madonna and was just a "all the way Mae"

[lyra_loo]

one of my favorite movies EVER. wouldn't change a thing about it! it's perfect.

[bluedjinns]

Madonna did well in her role, and I'm always amused by Mae teaching her teammate how to read with a romance novel.

I don't know much about Debra though.

[boomstick]

That part was hilarious!

I seem to remember something about "heaving bosoms".

[bluedjinns]

"milky...white...breasts" 😂

"It gets really good after that."

[fromyourashes]

she sounds like an asshole, and i'll be honest - i never cared for anything she did. she always felt like she played the same role every time (and i never liked any of them lol)

so fuck her

editing myself bc i didn't remember she was in goodfellas. that's the only role of hers i thought was really fucking good lol

[mary_pickforded]

That was Lorraine Bracco lol.

[fromyourashes]

LMAO WHOOPS

i guess fuck her, after all!

[mary_pickforded]

Hahaha it's alright. They looked a lot alike back in the day!
