    gamer community should try to claim De Palma. I read him say the branching moral pathways function of certain games that inspired Femme Fatale, she plays through the movie first as a bad guy then replays as a hero. and some of the POV shots in Snake Eyes were looking quite gameic to me tonight...

    It's such a beautiful film. What is interesting about this particular academic theory is the idea that Film Noir (& the Femme Fatale) actually was a female gaze genre, and not principally male gaze. The reason for this is that it grew out of Horror, which was audienced by women. a female monster 1/

    East Cherman Power Lifter is also wearing the Left Thigh Garter that's part of female combatant wear. Femme Fatale is smoking a cigarette in a holder, like she's from a different movie from 50 years before this one was made, and blows it into East Cherman Power Lifter's face. Someone gonna die.

    I asked for names to my family and we ended up doing a poll . It was between Queen , Flora , Fatale and Croquemou . Croquemou won ( btw its the name of the dragon in the how to train your dragon movie in french ) ! Pretty cute and funny name if you ask me .

    Held a night for #ArkhamHorrorLCG at my local game store last night! One other person showed up, and we played through Film Fatale. FF seems super fun - I can definitely see the potential for a lot of replays with it and a lot of variety in terms of how you can approach the scenario.

    The Arkham Horror LCG base set is on sale, good for them. The AH Film Fatale stand-alone adventure is back in stock; that will never get reprinted, as are the The Drowned City Campaign and Investigator packs (from the defunct Chapter 1).

    A film is popular because it appeals to an existing audience of filmgoers or creates a new audience out of the old ones. When a film fails to do either of those, as with Femme Fatale, it fails to do well financially. Noting this is not a statement of the film's quality, but explaining why

    just saw a FB post about the Arkham Horror LCG releases from last year Film Fatale, and both sets for the Drowned City campaign. "Does anybody know when or if these will be reprinted?" Buddy, you might as well get on Ebay now. FFG has zero interest or need to reprint sets from Chapter 1.

    There's a convenient tossing of an empty helmet that prevents a tank gun from going off (don't ask) and it seems to blow up with Femme Fatale riding on top of it. (We're either right at the climactic fight with a long end-of-movie setup for sequels that never happened, or this is a false climax.)

    Decent thriller that at least had some okay twists. It's definitely one of those guilty pleasures as it is pretty much an R-rated version of a Lifetime movie with all a soap opera like plot. Nothing mind-blowing and a bit forgettable, but I did like both Ealy and Swank in the leads. 3.0/5
