poll #manda: How do you tend to define an actor's signature role? - Max Oct 3, 07:04 29
- "You know, the guy from..." -- nm - Reagen Oct 3, 07:09 7
  - I'd love to take some actors we grew up with and poll people 10 and 20 years younger than us on how they'd answer that "guy from..." question. - ty97 Oct 3, 07:10 6
    - We'd get dialogue straight from Endgame. "Ever see this really old movie, Aliens?" -- nm - Barynn Oct 3, 07:16
    - Happy to serve as the person 10-20 years younger in this! - MDH Oct 3, 07:16 2
      - Nice try! Have you gotten your shingles shot yet? -- nm - ty97 Oct 3, 07:26 1
        
        I was born multiple years after Footloose came out. -- nm - MDH Oct 3, 07:30
    - Definitely for some, like Diana Rigg and Betty White. -- nm - Max Oct 3, 07:15
    - My wife is younger than me. Years ago, Rodney Dangerfield came up and she said "Oh, the guy from Ladybugs." - Volnelk Oct 3, 07:14
- For me it's if you can only say one film when speaking about them, then it's the one you pick. "He's the guy from Footloose" "He's Forrest Gump". - Volnelk Oct 3, 07:09
- I think it's most enjoyable. like, I watch "most enjoyable" most often so it makes the role indelible in my mind. that first dance/gymnastics scene in - amanda Oct 3, 07:08
- I'm not sure, but I don't see it as the first category. -- (edited) - ty97 Oct 3, 07:08
- In my mind it's just 'the one you think of when you think of them." -- nm - Andie Oct 3, 07:08 17
  - Yes. -- nm - MDH Oct 3, 07:13 14
    - This isn’t a question you overthink. If you’re thinking, it’s not a signature role. -- nm - MDH Oct 3, 07:15 13
      - But my first thought on Bacon was entirely different than everyone else's. I guess I'm wondering about the why. -- nm - Max Oct 3, 07:16 12
        
        I think a few good men is a tom cruise movie more than anything. if you asked me who else was in it, I would know cuba and jack nicholson off the top - amanda Oct 3, 07:20 3
        
        I would have only recalled Tom and Jack -- nm - ty97 Oct 3, 07:27
        
        Bacon definitely isn’t in top 3 for that movie -- nm - MDH Oct 3, 07:26 1
        
        argh -- nm - Max Oct 3, 07:27
        
        I get you. In your message you mentioned "a precise head tilt" that's thinking too hard for a signature role. -- nm - MDH Oct 3, 07:20 7
        
        I don't know that I agree with this. the julia roberts starmaking moment is the jewelry box and we all know it. sometimes it's a moment. -- nm - amanda Oct 3, 07:21 5
        
        Agreed it can be a moment. But compare those two. Very different. -- nm - MDH Oct 3, 07:27
        
        That's my definition of her first crush moment, even if she had breakout roles before. -- (edited) - Max Oct 3, 07:24
        
        Big mistake. Big! HUGE! -- nm - ty97 Oct 3, 07:23 2
        
        I mean, I don't even really *like* that movie but man that scene - ty97 Oct 3, 07:24 1
        
        That was Geer screwing around, totally genuine reaction to him snaping the box closed. -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 3, 11:34
        
        But I wasn't analyzing until after the image flashed in my mind. -- (edited) - Max Oct 3, 07:21

    - I actually quite hate the free charge bc it doesn't tell me how fast I'm charging in the app. -- (link) - amanda Oct 3, 07:18 3
      - I wonder if that's specifically related to the Ioniq 5 and the "charge and go" functionality. I saw recently we got that with EVgo on the Kia. We did - oblique Oct 3, 07:21 2
        
        it is not. it is due to the charger upgrades. all vehicles charge free during station upgrades. as stated, I have ben free on and off all month. -- (link) - amanda Oct 3, 07:25 1
        
        Station that have not commenced refurbishment will continue to be operational and charging will be complimentary to the driver during this period. -- (link) - amanda Oct 3, 07:28

- I like the clarification of electric cars (see? I’m saving the environment!) -- nm - spamlet Oct 3, 07:05

- Congrats, you're suffering a balanced budget. -- nm - Max Oct 3, 06:52
- You bought stupid cars. Sell your current house and buy a smaller one. -- nm - Andie Oct 3, 06:52 1

    - Yep, Footloose. -- nm - Andie Oct 3, 06:53

- It's going to make all the money. All of it. -- nm - Barynn Oct 3, 06:29
- This trailer was on Bros and it honestly was incredibly confusing. I couldn’t tell if it was Black Panther, Aquaman, or Avatar. -- nm - MDH Oct 3, 06:11 5
  - I don't believe you. Wakanda is distinctive in visuals and music. Nevermind the first thing shown after Marvel Studios is his mask. -- nm* - Qale Oct 3, 07:31 2
    - There were hundreds of blue people swimming. -- nm - MDH Oct 3, 07:32 1
