Page betrayed her lesbian fanbase.
On the strength of the below article, I'd say he's more than weird.

In light of recent events, the below article about Manson shows that he has more to hide.

Speaking of his deceased daughter, this article is scary: https://popcultmaster.com/2018/10/02/the-ties-that-bind/
She's not that average. She has a gift for comedic facial expressions which has been suspiciously untapped.

One of the reasons why the film didn't do too well is that, besides the literally cop-out ending, it didn't get much coverage in magazines.
In 1987, Theresa Russell told the Chicago Tribune: <i>''There's a lot going on between us. I screened Ingmar Bergman's Persona a couple of times before making Black Widow. I always saw the film as both of our characters complementing and completing each other in the same sense as the Bergman film. For Debra's character, I'm fascinating and charming and know everything there is to know about manipulating a man; she knows nothing of that. For my character, she's honest and dedicated and very bright. I really do care about her. I want to give her the gift of sexuality. I also want to manipulate her at the same time.''</i>
I wish the ending was darker - Alex stays in prison for the death of Paul but Catherine goes to jail when it's revealed that she was more likely to have killed Shin.
The director once said: <i>“If I had been making the film in France, those two women would have completely been in love with each other. As it is, we got as close as we could to what would be acceptable in an American movie.”</i>
I can imagine that the Sick Leave episode was a refreshing change of pace for those who get tired of the disco music.
I think part of the problem was that Tim was too tall. Also, he wasn't cut out to be a star...he was just an actor without the charisma. He's okay for supporting roles but you wouldn't cast him as a co-lead.
One music cue sounds like a rip-off of Love Machine by The Miracles.
When The Matrix came out, that was the beginning of the end. Ironically, he had already done HK-style choreography with his first martial arts movie - No Retreat, No Surrender. If he had kept up that style of fighting, he would have been described as being years ahead of his time instead of behind it.
It's hilarious - no pun intended, although you may beg to differ when you see the article in this other thread...

When I first saw Arrow in 2012, I would have presumed her to be at least in her late twenties (no younger than 27). When you posted your comment in 2015, I would have said 30 as well.
Your skepticisim is justified. According to this Reddit thread (from the same time as your post), someone referenced her Wiki page revealing her to be born in 1988 (not 1991).

The only thing that's suspect about Stoltz is that he has recently claimed to have no memories of his entire time on set.
...this despite what Sean Astin (his Memphis Belle co-star*) mentioned in his autobiography: <i>"Eric is a dear friend of mine, and he’s told me the story of his firing on more than one occasion. I know how painful it was for him."</i>
* Among the cast of Memphis Belle were two actors from BTTF - Billy Zane and Courtney Gains.
Well, Eric's stunt double contradicted Gale's claim that Fox was better than Eric as a skateboarder.

In the publicist's visual history book, Sheinberg denied telling Gale that he would let them start over again if they weren't happy. Sheinberg claimed that it wouldn't have made sense for himself to consider that the actor who he was rooting for could be wrong for the role. He also said that Spielberg had enough power at the time that if he thought that Eric was miscast then he could have easily put his foot down before filming began.
In 2003, Crispin Glover did an interview for Zap2it where he explained why Eric won the role: <i>"I did all of the screen tests with all the people that went up for the role, for Marty McFly. I could tell that there was a way that they were going for the character, kind of light comedy. I don't know exactly how to describe it. There was a certain type of people they were bringing in and Eric Stoltz came in and the scenes were playing better when he was playing it, but it wasn't quite as light or comic. But he was a better actor than the other people that were coming in. What happened was there were probably personal aesthetic contradictions going on at the time with the director. But, I think because they were initially going for this comedic thing, they were becoming concerned, and so they weren't happy about that."</i>
It's funny how there was a disparity between the reflections from the cast and crew members. Lloyd and Crispin talked about how they were surprised that Stoltz was fired. In an interview for Slice of SciFi, Crispin had this to say about whether it was common knowledge during shooting that Stoltz was miscast: <i>"It was not known, and it was surprising."</i>
In Tom Wilson's memoir, The Masked Man, he said it was only during the final week that the mood on the set started to feel off. He thought that it was himself who was the problem. Joel Silver, a business partner of Zemeckis, told Empire magazine (December `93) that it was only during the final week of filming that they realized that the film was terrible.
One particular thorny issue is when the film-makers first wanted to cast Fox. There is a casting sheet dated August 1985 where the only candidates listed for the role of Marty McFly were Eric Stoltz, C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio and John Cusack. While it may seem that Fox had already been approached before then, Bob Gale claimed that Gary Goldberg (the sitcom producer) was first approached either in September or October*.
It just so happens that late September was when Season 3 of Family Ties began - this was the season where Fox became the lead because the star didn't appear that much to her pregnancy.
