Don't flog yourself! Vincent D'NoFrio (I know I butchered his name) was also in FMJ, and he was excellent, too.

I think Adam was at his personal best in FMJ and My Bodyguard. ID4 was certainly nice! Well, all his movies are nice! Next of Kin, whooooeeeee!

Also true - but poor Vince, the role of his that sticks in my head is "Edgar" in "Men in Black". Every time he shows up on Law & Order: CI either my wife or I will say "I know Egger, and that wudn't Egger." Similarly, Adam Baldwin will always be Jayne to me, no matter what other roles he plays. I mean no insult to either of these actors - they did a great job.

Wasn't he just perfect in Men In Black??

Whenever I see Vinny, I picture him saying "I am living in a world of sh!t..." But that was FMJ again, he just really sticks out in my mind in that movie!

Obviously, neither of you folks has seen "Salton Sea", and I wouldn't recommend it to the squeemish. Watch Vincent D'Onofrio in "Strange Days", "the Winner", "13th Floor" or "the Cell".

That probably disqualifies me, then. What kind of squeamish do you mean? Is there a lot of violence? To gauge my faintheartedness, how's this - I was able to watch "Reservoir Dogs", and thought it was a good movie, but there's no way I could sit through it again.

And even if I did see Salton Sea I bet Vince would still be Egger. :)

A little pigeon shooting, but I'd forgotten that 'til starting this reply. The violence is foreshadowed, described, implied, or off-screen.

Good gauge -- just realized I could delete a couple of paragraphs of detail.

Reservoir Dogs affected me the same way; it ain't worth going through the non-interrogation scene again. Salton Sea has a scene that gross (entirely because of Vinnie's dialogue), & a later shot of V D' that I can't get out of my head. I wouldn't say it was as good a movie.

LOL - at first I didn't notice the apostrophe after the D... you'll never believe the image that brought up! That'd definitely not be for the squeamish. hee hee
