Brent in Rent Control

Last Saturday I watched “Rent Control”, a movie from ‘81/’84, with Brent in the lead. The movie is not very good, the lead character not very likeable and the writing didn’t help Brent at all. What didn’t help either is his looks in the movie. He has something that can only be described as a 70’s porn moustache. *Shudder* and his beautiful eyes are constantly hidden behind awful glasses. He’s also awefully skinny, but that shouldn’t have been a turn off. It normally isn’t. He’s still quite skinny, for a man his age.


It’s quite clear I didn’t think much of the movie. However, I enjoyed myself, since it was Saturday, or actually Sunday very early in the morning (around 1.00 am), it seemed appropriate. Back when I was still living with my mum I watched many movies on Sunday mornings at that hour, and some with that quality. And it helped it had Dutch subtitles. That took me back. That was the only reason, after I clicked it accidentally, to leave it on and watch it. I’m glad to say I survived it.

What a waste of talent that was.

I was searching for some pictures to go with this post and I inadvertently started to play a part of the movie again. I watched a few seconds and concluded that in that scene (him walking in the park with a girl) he was actually sort of cute.

Oh well, here are the pictures.

Sort of cute here

But still, not quite it
