My mother and stepfather went to see Body Heat when it came out and she talked about "the arsonist guy" so much for the next few days that I could tell it was starting to make my stepfather resentful. https://twitter.com/therealmarkasch/status/1248362648145661961
Incredible to realize that Mickey Rourke's run as a movie star lasted seven years at best (from Diner through Wild Orchid). I own shirts that are twice as old as that.
Just realized Diner came out in 82. I saw it in 83, so in my mind that's the year it came out.
Do people still go absolutely wild for actors in that way? Like, "What is this person in next, and when can I see it?" Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson for sure. Who else? Michael B. Jordan? I feel like Oscar Isaac was in that club for a bit.
