thread of being buzzed and watching Travolta's The Fanatic

Ugh let's get this over with

"You are a fan. Without you I'm nothing"
-Hunter Dunbar

Ooook...

This looks like it was shot on a Motorola phone

The exciting opening, a banal conversation in a movie star memorabilia store talking about how much a vest is worth

His character is named Moose

Fred Durst's mitts all over dis ting

He is now joined by a Degrassi: Next Generation alumnus

"You're not my mom!", flips friend off

This feels like a Degrassi episode

This is like Limp Bizkit's Taxi Driver

"They're not 'people', Moose. They're fuckin' *tourists*"

Devon Sawa of Idle Hands is the other "big name" in this

He just dramatically wrote on Travolta's shirt with a blue marker while intense dubstep played

Travolta put on an old timey constable's hat and a comedy mustache and now looks like Edward James Olmos

"He's full of doo-doo."

The extras are getting unusually large amounts of speaking lines

Rich dude's mansion gate is comically tiny and easy to scale.

"I am NOT a stalker, Leah! I am a *FAN*!"

And now he Mortal Kombat-uppercutted the movie star's maid and she's dead.

This isn't Taxi Driver, this is One Minute Photo 2

Movie Star's house is pretty suburban for a character that is supposed to be A-List movie star

His beer cans just say IPA on the can in huge block letters

Stalkers of celebrities aren't inherently good movie material. Too predictable in their mental instability and obsession, but normally just creepy, not violent.

The movie star character is playing Limp Bizkit on his car stereo and complimenting their music in a Fred Durst film.

Yeah his portrayal is p offensive tbh

We're supposed to feel sorry for a stalker who just murdered a maid in broad daylight on the lawn, body wasn't moved, and inexplicably nobody has found it yet a day later.

Third scene talking to himself in a mirror.

"You look like shit", says actress to Travolta before the door has opened and she has even seen him

I have no idea what you're talking about but it sound intersting.

Travolta dramatically informs his ex-BFF she is blocked on FB while violent cellos play

"STOP BEING SO MEAN TO ME! STOP IT!", Travolta screams while remembering the reviews of Gotti

Voiceover: "Moose didn't just cross the line. He fuckin' nuked it."

And now Travolta's fingers have been shot off

And now he's stabbed his left eye and popped it like a grape

He's dripping blood all over the Walk of Fame, missing fingers and an eye, and two tourists take a pic thinking he's a performance artist

"Yeah, yeah, i know Moose lost his hand...and his eye. But now he sees it as a badge of honor".

Says voiceover as famous actor is arrested for murder of housekeeper that Travolta committed by the worst detectives alive

Story by Fred Durst. That explains it.

"I. AM NOT A STALKER!"

roll credits

Painful 88 minutes. Friend chose the movie after we smoked a bowl lol....

Wikipedia: "The Fanatic earned $3,153 from 52 theaters in the U.S. on its opening day"

jfc, read the plot summary on Wikipedia afterwards and it claims Travolta's character is supposed to be autistic.

if that's how he thinks people on the spectrum act, what an incredible asshole.

totally forgot i watched this. so fucking terrible.

Nathan Rabin did an in-depth piece on this film for those who have no desire to watch it themselves:
