MOVIE BABES OF THE NINETIES
Colossus: this one is for you. Tonight's feature is Jeanne Tripplehorn .Breakthrough flick: Basic Instinct where she played a police shrink. Best line in a movie: "My husband will be home any minute" in The Firm. Best attributes: nice curves, dark eyes, big lips. Unfortunately, she will probably be best remembered as the babe in that global warming epic, Waterworld. (I have to confess, I actually liked the movie although practically no one else did.) Last film of note: Word of Honor, a lame adaptation of the novel of the same name.

Posted by: jd watson at July 27, 2005 05:19 AMI have to confess that I generally watch Waterworld whenever it comes on. Jeanne is a big part of the reason. Another part is a grotesque fascination with the movie's awfulness. I used to think Costner couldn't do any worse. That's until The Postman came out, of course. And yes, I watch that, too.
Posted by: Robert the LB at July 27, 2005 08:27 AMI find myself stopping to watch it any time I flip past in on TV. Something draws me in, like the inability NOT to gawk when passing a car wreck.
