    🧵1/9 Remember the 1987 movie "Fatal Attraction?" Glenn Close, a brilliant actress portrayed a psychotic malignant narcisstic woman named Alex who refused to "be ignored?" Our center of political gravity domestically and globally is defined and reflected by psychotic malignant narcissists.

    Have you seen the movie, "The Secretary"? This is real time & will have a bad ending. Kind of like "Fatal Attraction" & it combined. He treats her like shit; pushes her to starve, not sleep, run after him like a dog. She's going to crack & the object of her love will become the object of her scorn.

    Piers Morgan is saying Natalie Harp is the same as Reggie Love. A "bunny boiler" is a slang term for an emotionally unstable person—usually a woman—who reacts to a romantic rejection or breakup with obsessive, vengeful, or dangerous behavior. From the film Fatal Attraction ( She boiled the pet) .

    We play an old discontinued Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon-style board game called Movie Connections, and whenever Demi Moore comes up we call her "Half Moore" because we are not fancy people. Also FATAL ATTRACTION is "Boil the Bunny", AIR FORCE ONE is "Get Off my Plane", and SE7EN is "Suh-SEV-eh-nen."

    Saw OBSESSION. Liked this movie a lot better when it was called FATAL ATTRACTION and the protagonist was Michael Douglas at his oily peak, not some incel dork who needs to make a wish to get laid. Say what you will about FA--unlike OBSESSION, it has the decency to wear its sleaziness on its sleeve.

    In the late-70s/80s it was slasher movies. In the 80s/90s it was Rambo-style action movies, or Lethal Weapon and Fatal Attraction-style thrillers. There have always been Hollywood bandwagons. The difference is that back then the major studios made a bunch of films of all scopes and budgets, while today those same studios make fewer, more expensive movies. If Scorsese was a young man today - or Robert Altman or William Friedkin, whoever - he probably wouldn't get a chance to make a Raging…

    The Chinese Communist Party's alternative ending to the film "Fight Club" got a lot of stick but in fact it a was much closer to the original novella. A pity Fincher didn't film both outcomes as they could have had it on DVD extras like Fatal Attraction.

    For our younger audience, the image on the left is from the movie "Fatal Attraction" in which Glenn Close's character, Alex, jilted by her lover, becomes unstable, her behavior escalates from aggressive pursuit to obsessive stalking, & is the best allegory for Paramount ive ever seen. 🤌🏻

    "Unique" melees. Let's discuss! I'm thinking melee weapons that have some kind of overt gimmick, or otherwise unusual properties. Examples: - Keratinos grows and gains +2~3m range when you do a 12x heavy - Ghoulsaw has 100% followthrough - Caustacyst globs force enemies open to finishers - Gazal machete gains Corrosive damage after Djinn casts Fatal Attraction - Sarofang has a vortex on heavy slam That said, I don't want to consider signature passives, as they're already documented.…

    I was a movie theater usher ‘87-‘88, when Fatal Attraction was a new release. We would quietly line up along the back wall for the last 5 minutes to watch people jump and throw their popcorn when Glenn Close popped up out of the tub. So satisfying every time. 😁

    Carl Reiner's FATAL INSTINCT (1993) is a zany spoof of From Hell movies (and film noir in general), taking pot shots at the likes of FATAL ATTRACTION and SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY. The humour is very hit-or-miss, but it has some fun sight gags (and the skunk on the rollercoaster made me laugh!).
