'An erotic thriller'

It was fine, iirc. But maybe, especially a few years post Piano, so anonymously 'erotic thriller" that no one cared. That's why I don't think it's Meg that it killed, any more than, say, Sliver killed Sharon Stone's career. Which, of course, it didn't, if you include "Casino," but that was an outlier. It feels that Sliver (like Jade did for Linda Fiorentino) really reduced her to a joke, even if Joe Eszterhas was ultimately to blame for both. And those plus Showgirls killed his career as much as it did theirs.

That is, all those movies took down their respective auteurs and while not necessarily their leads, they seemed to go down with them.

Crazy gossip from work I can’t not share: at least one of the big streamers wants to bring back erotic thrillers. (Can’t wait for a new Adrian Lyne movie)

"I hear you're a...big streamer..."

from peppe the piss pig, a watersports-themed erotic thriller

I love Prime it's such a weird chaotic mess, there are some crazy weird 70s movies down in the Prime basement

C5 have been repeating Red Shoe Diaries, just in case you missed David Duchovny reading steamy letters to a dog.

read Michael Mohan as Michael Chabon at first

Here we go:

Some films discussed in the season will be American Gigolo, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Fatal Attraction, as well as works from Steven Soderbergh and Brian De Palma, among others. Each episode will focus on one year, discussing movies and stars, with the season culminating in the year 1999, focusing on Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut.

hmm

no skerritt no credibility

I was actually just thinking about Jade the other day and Linda Fiorentino, surely one of the undisputed queens of the genre

Fast Times seems somewhat out of place there

Well the net seems to be cast a bit broadly, no bad thing.

last american virgin seems to fit the bill, as well
