Here's one that's unusual, actor Wil Wheaton was credited for being in "The Last Starfighter" for half a second with his back turned from the camera.
He was Wesley Crusher in Star Trek TNG.

I don't think it's the same. I mentioned a forgotten performance of Natalie Wood's in DRIFTWOOD, a forgotten film. But of course, Natalie is not forgotten.
I'm sure Ray doesn't mind the topic expanding.
What about Natalie in "Tomorrow is Forever" (1946)

Interesting. But it seems like you are focusing on neglected child stars. The thread is about neglected performances.
Isn't that about the same? Having people neglect heir performances can lead to them being forgotten.

Or if a well-known child actor is in an unknown film.
A weird name like Engineer can be a turn off.

(One of Imdb's top highly under rated child actors, these are names never heard of before.)
Sound like the daughter of one of these guys.

This happens especially if the child actor(s) are unknown.
Both Kristian De la Osa and Hatty Jones from "Madeline" (1998)
Loved Kristian's little guillotine he built.
Both Rebecca Harrell and the movie itself "Prancer" seems to get little attention like other Christmas films.

"The Predator" (2018) thanks for the suit.
Question, since he was in such a giving mood, why didn't he try to contact someone after crashing to let known his intentions?

I never read or listen to film critics, their opinions has no bearing on if I watch a movie or like it or not. Like the rest of us Maltin has his own person taste.

Consumer Cellular has unlimited talk and text for $20/month.
I cannot imagine $14/month for Internet, unless you are on SNAP or SSI. AT&T does have a plan for that.
You're a good son Stephan55. Consumer Cellular also has a home phone device, which uses cellular signals.
You could also checkout Grandpad for your Mom.
My old dial up use to cost around that if I paid every 4 months. Had to drop it because of incompetence, the guy who ran it called me angrily complaining about MY COMPLAINING because they were providing unreliable service.
They went out of business shortly after! Boo hoo my heart is breaking.

My area had what could be considered the first "cable" system ever installed. Around 1953 a man with vision installed a MATV (Master Antenna System) on steroids. Designed for apartment buildings, he went to the extreme of wiring the entire town with it. The telephone relay amplifiers were locally / specially made to pass on the 4 network channels that were receive on top of a mountain.
The system was upgraded to true cable (CNN / TBS, etc) in 1981
Only had to pay a small fee of 8 dollars during the 1960's using those small tear out coupon books.

I still don't get it. The idea of TV requiring anything more than an electrical cord to plug into a wall socket, mystifies me. To my way of thinking, it's just a television set sitting there on a shelf. Like any other appliance such as a microwave oven or a washing machine. Why does it need to be so high-powered and super-duper? At the end of the day its still: just a television set sitting there on a shelf.
Forking out any money other than what I originally paid for the set itself, strikes me as silly. If I buy a TV I don't want to have to keep feeding it money as if its some kind of pet.
I remember one time, a neighbor of ours had an utterly crazy "satellite dish" in his backyard. It was eight feet in diameter. Raised up on a giant axial mount. The cables which trailed across the yard back to the house, were as thick as firehoses.
He didn't work for NASA, nor was he an ex-mercenary. Just an ordinary schlep, a working stiff. He had no interest in Indonesian kick-boxing events. Why on earth he needed to pull in signals so faint, was never clear to me.
Well it's free if you're receiving off air like a radio. This will somewhat make it like a microwave or washing machine. You will only be limit to what's broadcasted within your given area.
60 Mile HD Antenna.
This will be like a throwback to the days of "rabbit ears".

I don't know what Direct TV is ...but in this country you don't have to pay anyone anything if you don't wish to
Installed mine in 1999, still using the SD format - no bells / whistles (DVR, etc)
Round dish..
...with dual LNB
It's feeds an RCA multi switch.
This makes installation easy, don't need a second person to help.

Just realize this thread was about a sequel not a rerun. This took too long and doesn't have the charm as the original.

When viewing Mary Poppins View Master reels on a Model D (X7 mag plus halogen back lighting) you can see the wires holding them up.
Sample photo doesn't do it justice.

The Predator should had taken a different plot route.

Typo
The rogue predator came here to help man fight his race that is getting out of control. Can't understand why the producer took a confusing, stupid direction that doesn't make sense. The rogue predator attacked and killed just about everyone he came across. After waking up in the lab, he was intelligent enough to know no harm was done to him and was still alive.
This alternative "helping the humans" scene that was snubbed would had made for a much better movie. He is using human weapons along what little he didn't left behind so they can be backed engineered.
