Ruined Scott Glenn for me

I have been watching this movie since I was like five or younger and it took me years and years to get past this guy's creepiness in this movie. You're not alone! Kind of like Kathy Bates in Misery--I couldn't watch her in anything else and not be bothered until I was well in my 20's.

"And what would a note say, Dan? 'Cat dead, details later'?"

Just watch Silverado 5 times. That should make up for it.

that's good acting, for you, but apart from that, he's not my type. I don't like that bony type. I don't think he's that good looking at all.

Scott Glen was so great as a sleazeball, I had to see him in a few movies where he played more positive characters to like him again. After all these years I think he has brought a lot to the parts he has played.

midwife I am right there with ya! I was the same way with Bill Paxton, I first paid attention to him in Alien 2. He was so frikkin' whiny, with his "Aaw, man! We're all gonna DIE, MAN!!" that I couldn't hardly stand to see him in anything else until I saw him in Frailty. It took me many, many years to get over that, and to realize that an actress/actor's ability to become their role so thoroughly as to put someone off of them for a time because they can't separate the two is actually a backhanded compliment!


As for Scott Glen for some reason I thought for a long time he was related in some way to a Carradine, and I don't know why. I couldn't ever be attracted to someone who acted like that, but it could be because I too have had experience with men like Wes.

Well, you are so right about that; however, i think I (among others) admire Scott Glenn because his acting was just so phenomenal. His portrayal of a nasty thug was so realistic--it was not over-done or "Hollywood-ed" up. That's why, in my opinion, he, the actor, is sexy...it's just so taboo for one to be drawn to Wes, you know. Anyway, I do find him sexy now that I'm older. Of course, when I saw this movie when I was 12, I thought he was repulsive. I just have respect for S Glenn for playing this part perfectly. Hollywood just doesn't have complex, home-grown, raw characters like this anymore.

"I don't patronize bunny rabbits."

Well yes he was an @$$hole, but if i'm talking about his appearence alone then I have to say that yes I found him to be attractive and sexy.

"Why... so... serious?"

I'm with you. I was pretty small when I first saw this movie. Maybe 6 or 7. We watched it alot, it was a family favorite. Anyways, any movie I ever saw with Scott Glenn after this, he creeped me out. As I got much older, I was able to appreciate him as an actor more, but for at least 10 years, he was always that bad guy from Urban Cowboy.
