Lions Part II
I’ve been obsessed, for quite some time, with the 1985 movie, Mask. Not only does it star Cher, as a single, drug-addicted, motorcycle mom, but also includes my childhood proto-hero, Eric Stoltz (Some Kind of Wonderful, The Fly II, Killing Zoe).
Playing an everyday teen with ‘Lionitis’, Stoltz overcomes pretty much anything the ‘80’s can throw at him— expect death, I suppose. Lionitis, for the uninitiated, is a hideous deformity involving abnormal calcification of the skull.
RIP Eric Stoltz as Rocky Dennis! You will always have a special place in my heart, along with your pot-smoking movie mom, Cher.
