Joe Aguirre: what do you think of this character as portrayed in the movie?

<< < (15/32) > >>

Artiste:
Thanks brokeplex!

You say: I see Randy Quaid as perfect for the role of Joe Aguirre
..........

Brokeplex, may I totally agree with you. And your description of Randy Quaid's acting as Aguirre, is superb! I find his acting superb too!

Wonder who did coach Randy Quaid to do such a superb role? You know... that? Does anyone?

Hugs!!
Merry Gay Christmas to you and to your buddy and to all, with many hugs!!

brokeplex:
I don't know who coached him. Quaid has Texas roots, so the "western" accent is legit, not coached. The acting, the movement, the swagger, the rolling of the eyes to heaven....that is all Quaid, that is pretty much how he acts in most of the movies I have seen him in.

He got kinda goofy in "Independence Day" as his character is a bit goofy. But if you watch him closely in "ID", you can still see some of what comes out in the Joe Aguirre character.

brokeplex:
I stand corrected. Yes, Quaid's character paid the aliens back for all of that "sexual abuse" they had dished out to him earlier when he was "abducted".

Wasn't the phrase used by Quaid's character when he rammed his F 1-11 up into the alien ship, "up yours!" ?

Artiste:
Injest and brokeplex, you two got me lost now!!

Completely!!

Hugs!!
Merry Christmas and Happy gay Holidays!!

and Mr. Quaid was saying "Up your secret weapons opening.....where you are in fact quite vulnerable"

(the jet exploded before he finished the sentence....making it sound like he was implying something else, but I can assure you that a man of such character and grace would not yell such a thing)

Congratulations Injest, I am delighted to see that you have successfully transformed the character played by Quaid in ID, into the model of political correctness. That was difficult to do, but I must admit that you have converted me towards a new vision of that character. Now, if you can only create a new model for an examination of the aliens. I await eagerly to witness your  powers working on those aliens.
