Kick-Back Friday: #82
To Die For (1995): A very wicked satire from director Gus Van Sant and screenwriter Buck Owens Henry (jeez, what was I thinking?); loosely based on the sad life of Pamela Smart, who recruited her teenage lover to murder her husband in 1990.
Nicole Kidman, as the Smart-ish character, is outstanding in many a truth-y, cringe-worthy scene. Case in point: Her aborted seduction of a cable-access news producer, played by Wayne Knight. But the high school kids—depicted by then-unknowns Joaquin Phoenix, Casey Affleck, and Alison Folland—are the undisputed models of verisimilitude in this flick.
I was watching the clock and becoming seriously worried that there might not be a Kick-back Friday entry for today. That would definitely upset some part of the Space/Time continuum, as well as make me worry that you had been a victim of foul play, or possibly some kind of vicious cat attack. Cats frequently suffocate babies in their sleep, you know (the FDA and PETA have been aware of this for years, but have conspired to keep it pretty quiet)---so two cats, working together, could easily take out a skinny chick like you. Just saying.
The FDA? I thought it was the CDC.
You're right, of course---the Cat-related Death Census does track this also.
