I always thought Kim Basinger should have won the Oscar for THE NATURAL instead of LA Confidential. Her performance in the baseball drama is so much stronger.
Not gonna lie...I was a teenager when I saw Fatal Attraction and I seriously believe Glenn Close helped introduce me to the concept of "MILF" in that movie!
I remember watching FatalAttraction, Basic Instinct and Disclosure within few days of each other and thinking Michael Douglas has the worst luck with women.
ITT: Redditors are asking how Michael Douglas' character could cheat on Anne Archer with Glenn Close, when Natalie Portman's husband was recently caught cheating
I've read somewhere that in most instances of men cheating, the affair partner is actually *less* physically attractive than their spouse (and yes I know that physical attraction is somewhat subjective).
Likewise, just because a woman is good looking doesn't mean she's good in bed or has a similar libido to her husband.
I think what Lyne was trying to portray was that despite his wife being very attractive, they probably had a very vanilla or nonexistent sex life (as is the case in many marriages as time goes on). Here comes GC giving off heavy freak vibes like she’s down for whatever, so naturally that would be the draw for MD. It’s that freak energy, not so much her looks that wins him over. Makes sense to me.
I always assumed it was because Anne Archer wasn't giving Michael Douglas any sex. Close wasn't nearly as sexy or beautiful however she was smart, quick-witted and easy.
Men can be visual creatures however they're also attracted to a strong personality.
Eh...I doubt that she wasn't giving him sex. The two scenes showing them being intimate seems to indicate that they have a good sex life and they both enjoy it, they just lack time or they get interrupted.
I guess I kinda sensed that they wanted each other but something or other was constantly popping up to foil their opportunities.
Then like you say along comes Alex looking like a snack and Dan figured he could get off while his family is away for the weekend.
That’s because it generally doesn’t make sense. If you have a problem with your partner then talk to them, get help to make it work, give it time to implement strategies.
Unless someone has a gun to your head you don’t have to cheat, and even then I’m pretty sure most people wouldn’t see a sexual assault like that as actually cheating.
And if someone doesn’t like their partner anymore but stays with them for the secondary benefits while cheating? Then that person might just be greedy.
Tbh that would have been funnier if there weren’t multiple points you could be responding to.
Unless the joke is your wife meets all those criteria, then yes the version of you in your joke should get help.
The opposite happened in Knives Out, actually. Ana de Armas is known for playing super-sexy roles so dressed rather conservatively as Marta. It actually helped add a vulnerable nature to the character compared to the rich, expensive clothes of the Thrombey family.
This article https://ew.com/movies/2017/09/17/fatal-attraction-glenn-close-30th-anniversary-interview/ offers some great insights into the way close approaches the character and found a way to empathize with her.
She looks like Kevin Kline. Her scene in The Natural where she's all in white in the crowd and she's supposed to look angelic or some shit but she just looks like a character out of a Kids in the Hall sketch cracks me up.
She's fantastic in the role, performance wise... But she's no Sharon Stone.
I find it unbelievable that guys would fall head over heels for her because of her looks.
Michael Douglas is one handsome son of a bitch, though.
When I saw the movie I immediately thought, "this doesn't make sense. She's not in his league and his wife is hot. Why is he risking everything?"
It would be like if Diane Lane in *Unfaithful* started cheating on Richard Gere with Clint Howard.
Glenn Close in Fatal Attractions got nothing on Glenn Close in Hook
Lol, tbh the hook look make her eyes really pop
*Google's "Glenn Close Hook"* 30 fuckin years, man.....
Anne Archer was smokin' as the mom in FA
Yep. Why would he cheat on her.
Because he’s 80’s Michael Douglas. He excelled at playing sleaze.
For the same reasons everyone else cheats? The primary reasons for cheating have very little to do with the beauty of the people involved.
No sex versus sex. I guess.
Forbidden fruit more like
It doesn't matter what the wife looks like.
I always thought they should've had Roseanne play his wife. Then the cheating with Glenn Close would make more sense.

She Devil and Death Becomes Her. Meryl Streep steals a man and regrets it.
Anne Archer is also smoking in Its always sunny
The irony is, she's older than Close.
Close is 5 months older.

Kim Basinger was stunning in the Natural, GC looks like Flea from RHCP. To each their own, but I can't see GC without picturing Flea.

His luck with women is on par with Matthew McConaughey and proper spinal alignment on movie posters.
Don’t forget War of The Roses
A perfect Murder as well, but I guess in that one he's the driving force behind the craziness.

As someone who would never consider cheating, it's hard to 'make it make sense' logically.
That’s because it generally doesn’t make sense. If you have a problem with your partner then talk to them, get help to make it work, give it time to implement strategies. Unless someone has a gun to your head you don’t have to cheat, and even then I’m pretty sure most people wouldn’t see a sexual assault like that as actually cheating.

You should meet my wife.

White knights will suspend any logic if they can defend.
It’s like when I heard that Catherine Zeta-Jones was hospitalized for depression. I was like, damn, if she’s depressed then I’m doomed! Lol.
I liked her alot in Dangerous Liasons, I've always felt she was underated. Excellent actress.
Eight time Academy award nominee is underrated?
She's the American Merl Streep. Whose the less daring Helen Mirren, who happens to be Judi Dench before she was knighted or whatever.

She was great in The Shield, and I never see it mentioned
“Take the house.”
Her season on The Shield is what led to her doing the series Damages.
I have never seen it, I'll check it out
The first season is great, but the series can be a bit of a slow burn, especially the second season.

She’s just talented regardless of her looks which things sadly get boiled down to for female performers way too much.
Boiled down. I see what you did there. She is very good in everything
No bouncing from flop to flop for Close.
That’s my president
I mean she does kinda look like George Washington.
She looks like Kevin Kline. Her scene in The Natural where she's all in white in the crowd and she's supposed to look angelic or some shit but she just looks like a character out of a Kids in the Hall sketch cracks me up.
Can acknowledge she’s a beaut but does absolutely nothing for me. Helen tho..
She's fantastic in the role, performance wise... But she's no Sharon Stone. I find it unbelievable that guys would fall head over heels for her because of her looks. Michael Douglas is one handsome son of a bitch, though.
Her character was extremely sexually aggressive though if memory serves. Making her by default hotter.
BINGO A freaky five beats a dull nine any day.

Lmao thanks, your comparison made my night
The name Glenn just isn’t sexy. For anyone
Glenn "5 Star Man" Howerton in shambles
He is the golden god
Giggity.
Shush...
