It Goes With The Opera
1987, Fatal Attraction, Glenn Close’s character makes Michael Douglas’ character a spaghetti dinner in her white on white on white New York City apartment. Opera blares from the stereo as he uncorks a bottle of wine. He wears a blue button-down shirt and a navy-blue cardigan, with the sleeves rolled up. Clearly, he is living the good life.
Later that same year, 1987, Wall Street, Daryl Hannah’s character makes Charlie Sheen’s character a spaghetti and sushi dinner in his newly renovated, faux-demolished New York City apartment. Opera blares from the stereo as he uncorks a bottle of wine. He wears a white button-down shirt and an argyle cardigan, with the sleeves rolled up. Clearly, he is living the good life.
It probably has something to do with the writers coming up with Mr. Rogers and father issues.
heh the handmixer was 1987’s iphone. hi-tech!
The main difference being that Charlie panics over dead rabbits for an entirely different reason.
Is it wrong to read both these paragraphs in Michael Douglas’ voice?

Everytime I watch that scene in Wall Street, I think about how many ridiculous, yuppie kitchen appliances will need to be cleaned after dinner.
That’s cause Bud Fox took his fashion cues from Gekko/Douglas.

Best comment. Ever.
American Psycho (the movie) did an excellent job of replicating this hyper-eighties all-white milieu. Although they used more Huey Lewis than opera.
