      Now don't get all upset! I know Fatal Attraction bugged a lot of people, but I thought it was great. And no, there's no man out there that I wish to stalk! But I was totally riveted by this movie! The performances by Glenn Close and Michael Douglas are fantastic! And I don't even like Michael Douglas, so that says a lot!
     I think a lot of people misread the story -- probably because it made them uncomfortable. The movie is not about how some loony woman goes after an innocent man. It's more about how every action you take has consequences. If you haven't seen the director's cut of this flick with the original ending, I suggest you take a look at it. The original ending is very different from the one seen in theatres -- apparently test screenings of the flick proved too upsetting for people, so they softened the ending. The original ending is much darker and more profound and gives Glenn Close a little more to work with. Even if the subject matter is a little potent, I still think Fatal Attraction is a great flick.
