Geena Davis

[Howard]

So I assume she's been in actress time-out because of that failed TV show (Commander-in-Chief). Time to let her out again. I miss her in movies.

[Abraham Smashington]

Man, she was smoking in The Long Kiss Goodnight.

[Howard]

You know, she turned down the part of Leia.

[Matt]

She never recovered from 'Cutthroat Island', unfortunately.

Good actress. I'd like to see her make a comeback as well.

[Abraham Smashington]

You know, she turned down the part of Leia.

Good. Fisher was way hotter back then.

[Abraham Smashington]

She never recovered from 'Cutthroat Island', unfortunately.

OMG, I remember seeing that in the theater. What a piece of shit.

[Howard]

Cutthroat Island and some other movie was made through her production company. That didn't survive, since both flopped. Long Kiss Goodnight came after Cutthroat Island, so I wouldn't say she was in actress limbo for Cutthroat Island. Still, I wonder why she hasn't been doing movies.

[Ed Hocken]

Probably raising her kids or something.

Probably raising her kids or something.

IT's that. There was an article about it a few months ago.

[Ed Hocken]

Also, I don't remember Geena Davis being that huge of an actress. Not at say a Julia Roberts level. She always stuck in my mind as doing supporting work.

Commander-in-Chief was garbage, but what can you expect from Rod Lurie.

[Howard]

You should see the list of roles she turned down.

Was turned down by Martin Scorsese for the role of Iris in Taxi Driver (1976). This was Davis' first film audition. The part went to child actress Jodie Foster.

[Abraham Smashington]

She has horrible taste.

[Nathan]

I can't see her in any of those roles.

[Abraham Smashington]

I'm so fucking glad they didn't make a live action 'Sailor Moon'.

[Ed Hocken]

Same here, holy shit that would have been terrible.
