  • @jerzeytpke - what exit ya from?

    The role Cher's character played in her death was left open - aka; likely having "spilled the beans" to the company during questioning. Given the cagey way she answered Karen's questions about her telling them about the xrays - Cher's answer was, "they already know everything about us". Classic.

    It's more than 35 years after her death. Let's please not regress backwards and do what about everyone else "not wanting to rock the boat" did at the time: put blinders on.

    It demeans the horror and historical significance of her death.

    And Kurt Russell is underrated in this.

  • this movie is making the assumption she was intentionally run off the road.

  • i love her voice i love her.

  • My mother loves this movie. I really want to try and get it for her.
