Linda Fiorentino played mysterious, dangerous women so well. Truly one of the great noir/erotic thriller actresses.
Saw one of her movies back when it was hyped, not sure which one, Red Rock West or The Last Seduction. Forgotten virtually everything about it.
She kinda looks like a young Kathleen Kennedy in that pic. I don't think I would have fallen for her.
Was there a specific film that killed the erotic thriller genre?
internet porn
This. Almost all late night premium channel soft core porn was erotic thriller shit.
Felt like it peaked with Basic Instinct. Everyone either tried to recapture the hype of that one or made a subpar knockoff.
True Lies
I think the erotic thriller comes and goes. Erotic thrillers are basically modern film noirs, so the genre has been around for many decades now and is likely to keep going as long as people are interested in crime and mysterious dangerous brunettes and stuff like that. So pretty much always. But I would imagine that at some point in the 90s the genre probably reached a saturation point. Plus I guess that probably not many actresses actually can pull off the requisite sort of dangerous eroticism. If there was an actress like that in Hollywood right now she'd probably be making tons of money but i can't think of anyone.
I can't really think of any either. That kind of cool, calculating, razor-witted woman isn't really "in" in Hollywood now.
Yeah, it's interesting how that kind of female character was all over films back in the 40s and 50s and then she was all over films in the 80s and 90s again. I guess that maybe her popularity waxes and wanes in connection to how society changes over the decades.
Jade is awesome
Why did Joe Eszterhas write the same movie for his whole career?
I just watched it actually and I kinda have no idea what the frick the plot was. The reveal at the end really came out of left field. But it was comfy San Francisco kino and Linda Fiorentino was super hot in that old-school noir femme fatale way. Even though she was not actually a femme fatale at all in the movie.
she makes me think of trannies honestly
thats entirely your fault
Is that the same town/street where they filmed Bullit?
Not sure about the same street cause I haven't seen Bullit but yeah it is San Francisco
Would have enjoyed Last Seduction more without the dumb jazz music.
"You want me to do what Anon?"
She got labeled by the Weinstiens as "hard to work with" i.e. wouldn't frick them.
Should have been more like Famke Jansen, she was in half their shit. Prob drank more Harv jizz than anyone.
yea
then she pulled this weird shit
In 2009, former Federal Bureau of Investigation agent Mark T. Rossini pleaded guilty to illegally accessing FBI computers during the prosecution of Los Angeles private investigator Anthony Pellicano. Law enforcement officials said Fiorentino previously had a relationship with Pellicano and wanted to assist his defense.[21] According to prosecutors, Fiorentino was then dating Rossini, and told him she was researching a screenplay based on the case. He conducted searches of government computers for information related to the Pellicano case and passed the results to Fiorentino,[22] who then handed the files over to Pellicano's lawyers in a failed effort to help Pellicano avoid a 15-year prison sentence.[21]
Based Linda Fiorentino actually doing an erotic thriller plot in real life
She was really pretty. Just a nice aesthetically pleasing face. I heard she wouldn't frick Kevin Smith during Dogma and he used connections to blacklist her.
She was hot in Men in Black
I heard she was just batshit insane
she totally did a number on him
Yeah, I felt really bad for him and hated her when I watched it. Which means they both gave good performances to get me that wrapped up in the feelings. In a way I guess it's a reversal of the "city people go to the boondocks and have to fight crazy rednecks" trope. In this movie, it's "sophisticated city person goes to the boondocks and fricks over the locals". Which has just as much horror as the other variant.
I dig that she has that classic sort of 1950 femme fatale hair style. Unrealistic for a woman in the 1990s but a good throwback.
