I wish Marilyn's part would've been bigger!


I think that would have made this movie better for me! I really enjoyed it, but it was mainly because she was in it. It was great to see her in another film period! I just wish she would've had more to do during the film where she was tied up. She was tied up for far too long! Seems like a waste of an awesome and beautiful actress!

I think she probably got tired of being tied up. That's pretty much how Tobe pitches movies to Marilyn.

Tobe: "Okay, Marilyn. You're a pretty girl whose lover/husband is murdered by the maniac and he's going to keep you hostage for awhile. This will entail you being tied up, gagged and beaten about the head. Are ya in? Can I count on you?"

Marilyn: "Umm, okay, I guess so *whimpers*."

Not really worth it just to work with Tobe Hooper, in my opinion.

I wish Marilyn's butt (may it rest in peace) was bigger. Exactly the same shape, but bigger.

I could get onboard with that.

Is that a joke?

No Abz - why would it be a joke. I take asses very seriously and, provided they be the correct shape - hells yes - bigger the better.

... Within reason!

I wouldn't have minded seeing more of her in this movie. She was a great actress who gave wonderful performances in everything I saw her in. I was really upset the day I found out about her death.
