Welcome, skierpete.  You're right, it doesn't really matter & it is a plain ol' good movie, but it's just fun to shoot the shit about it, y'know? Regarding Quaid the lowly construction worker.  The dude is played by...

Dammit, Ambler.  Now, I've got the itch to watch the movie again to see your take on this.  So, not really "dammit", more "thanks".   Edited to add: mcnooj82, those guys are consistently awesome.  Good post.

I gotcha now.  Cool cool. The only reason I'm trying to boost the animators profile in this case is that it's getting squashed somewhat by Serkis (& the PR from Weta).  Seems to happen a lot when it comes to performance...
