"GO THE GAY WAY!": No,

"GO THE GAY WAY!": No, this isn't another marriage post, but rather a review of today's Netflix movie, Rory Kelly's 1994 comedy "Sleep With Me." The film, starring Eric Stoltz, Craig Sheffer, and Meg Tilly, is probably best known for Quentin Tarantino's infamous monologue in which he argues that "Top Gun" was in fact about a man's struggle with his homosexuality (hence the title of this post). But it's also a very funny, albeit imperfect, comedy that fits very well into the "slacker romance" subgenre of the time, and it's about ten times better than the similar, contemporaneous "Reality Bites."
And another thing I liked about the film was the presence of the strikingly beautiful Meg Tilly, Jennifer Tilly's considerably more talented younger sister, who looks almost exactly like a girl I went out with in high school. Meg also starred in "The Big Chill" and "Agnes of God"- but, according to the IMDB, never appeared in another theatrical feature after "Sleep With Me." Anyone have any idea what became of her?
