trinityvixen...some vaguely Mannequin-related trivia!
Did you know...
...that Andrew McCarthy is not, in fact, eating out of dumpsters these days; has even had a job in TV in the past decade; and he's going to be in The Spiderwick Chronicles?
...THAT ESTELLE GETTY IS STILL ALIVE!?! Holy balls, that woman isn't as old as she seems. Good for her!
...that the sequel to Mannequin--Mannequin 2: On the Move--starred Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Herman of Herman's Head? I am disturbed at how often former players from Herman's Head show up in stuff ("often" meaning "ever"). What a truly awful show that was. I would like to believe that the only reason Hank Azaria and Yeardley Smith were on there was to be able to survive while The Simpsons cast was still getting dick pay.
...that Doug Liman (of Bourne movie and Mr. and Mrs. Smith fame) directed a little-known film starring Andrew McCarthy as a slimy git (and, coincidentally, Kristy Swanson! Mannequin stardom clearly leaves your career in a circular wreck of bad movies). Want a bigger suprise? I've actually seen it! It had a pre-Ally Calista Flockhart, and--hilariously--a young Dave Chapelle as a severe agoraphobe. His reason for never leaving his subterrainean computer lab? A BODY FELL ON HIM ONCE. I'm sorry, I find that to goddamned funny.
This has been your movie trivia from me, the human IMDB.
(Oh, okay, fine, I supplemented with some help from the real IMDB. But not much!)
