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
Yes -- nm - Epiphany Oct 3, 07:12
