Dennis Quaid

[wolfie001]

I was very shocked by Quaid and his recent, "Trump's my asshole" boast. I did a very shallow dive on Dennis Quaid and this is what I'm figuring: he says some craziness about everything failing, kind of like the end of the Roman Empire. Anyhoo, I believe he and a small cadre of uber rich have been investing in these secure, go to havens where they'll all be self-sufficient and don't have to rely on the US govt. The rest of the country be damned. That's where the Obese Orange One comes in: tax cuts for these greedy slobs so they can make their little heaven on Earth paradise's secure and keep the poors away. Hire a few hateful mercenaries to patrol the perimeters. Maybe they have some religious cult leaders who are able to get these rich clowns organized. Would make a great Net Flix movie. That's my take for what it's worth. Cheers

1. Some of those mega-wealthy types pursue anti-ageing regimens as well. n/t

2. He's started making religious movies n/t

[John1956PA]

3. Yes. Mr. Quaid is independent-minded.

I like his acting, but I do not know much about him personally. I have read that he is a follower of religion. I have been aware that he is a supporter of 45. In my post, I was not referring to him as having anti-ageing aspirations. I was referring to some mega-wealthy people who seek to do battle with the "sword of time."

7. He's becoming

Jon Voight, Kevin Sorbo kinda creepy

Thank you!

4. If the US crumbles, bit coins disapear, gold becomes worthless, no where else is safe.

5. I don't think he qualifies as mega wealthy.

The estimate is 30m. At this point you need at least 100m, and really 1b to qualify as mega wealthy.

10. My mistake. I mixed up Dennis Quaid and Kevin Bacon. Sorry!

I appreciate my fellow DUers setting me straight.

11. Kyra Sedgwick is Kevin Bacon's wife. They are decided liberals/Democrats. Quaid is Meg Ryan's ex.

Quaid is now married to a woman from Dallas; their twins, born at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, were the subject of a lawsuit for some medical complication during their birth.

16. Thank you. I am deleting!

[LauraInLA]

18. No worries ;)

[LauraInLA]

12. P.S. Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick lost a bunch of investments in a scam a few years ago --

can’t remember if it was Bernie Madoff or another financial advisor ripoff.

[wolfie001]

24. I remember that

The DeNiro/Pfeiffer movie about Madoff was crazy

6. And in real life...

When he's put in public around here, he just another asshole with a screen name.

[MuseRider]

8. He always seems to be slipping

when I see him on something which is not very often. A little crazy like his brother Randy?

I used to really like him in some movies, do not remember them however.

[John1956PA]

14. In am a fan of "Frequency" (2000).

Coincidentally, his costar, Jim Caviezel, is a right-wing religion adherent.

[MuseRider]

17. I like that too.

[John1956PA]

19. "I'm still here son."

A great line in the climatic scene near the end of the movie.

[MuseRider]

20. I do not remember it that well

but it was really emotional. I think I saw it fairly recently but now I tend to fall asleep at night so I do not remember it all. That line, just thinking about it, almost makes me cry.

21. The father said it as he emerged from the dissipating smoke.

He was holding the smoking shotgun which had just vanquished the antagonist. Until that moment, the viewer was not sure if the cross-era message had reached its destination. A powerful climatic scene.

[LauraInLA]

15. I think a lot of his hits were when he was married to Meg Ryan -- "Inner Space", for one.

“Blood and Bone” was a great movie.

Their son is now a star of “The Boys” on Amazon Prime.

9. Didnt he fall for some scam..

Bernie Madoff style? Or am I thinking of someone else... Kevin bacon maybe? I know one of the ultra wealthy got sting pretty bad.

[LauraInLA]

13. Yep, Kevin Bacon.

[slightlv]

22. Thank you! Couldn't remember which it was...

but it didn't turn Bacon to the dark side, if I remember right, tho...
