I recently got a bunch of VHS tapes for free and I remembered this movie being popular growing up in the 90s but little else, so I decided to see what it was like and I was surprised to enjoy it.
Whitney Houston before her coke days was sexy af and charismatic in this which makes it interesting
Said Cocaine days:
But what sells it is Kevin Costner, a cynical ex secret service who was supposed to protect Ronald Reagan, but was off duty that night during his famous shooting. Later on after another PTSDy shooting of a perp he retires and goes into private security. Filled with cynicism about protecting annoying rich buttholes and some deep anger/regret they subtley imply, but don't dwell on like lesser films would through with flashbacks or melodrama or whatever, you can tell he's seen some shit he can't delete from his brain.
Costner is noticebly very young and viril looking in this, like a male in his prime, and Whitney immediately gives him frick eyes the first time she sees him:
Whitney
Whitney is a bit sheltered in her famous life, she's being harassed by fans like most female super celebs, including some very serious looking death threats.
In one scene they show some superfan in a pre-4chan c*m tribute broke in and jerked off on her bed.
but her definitely gay but obviously straight IRL PR guy protects her from this and keeps information from her so she keeps making $$
Her PR handler:
chuddy antihero Kevin enters the picture
Here's the most dramatic pre-arc moment where Kevin tells her he'll kill her if she vaguely annoys him again
(literally watching on VHS, apologies for ruining the aspect ratio trying to resize it so this fits in rdramas mb size window)
This new uber serious Bodyguard gets her interest immediately but both play cynical standoffish to each other initially but slowly she gets to him
They slowly start having chemistry and she get mad because Kevin is a German style professional who doesn't mix business with pleasure, aka kitty bait because he doesn't immediately suck up to her but also acts like a protective father figure,
aka the main pitch of the movie...
Our incel (Real)hero
this isn't really a spoiler they show her incel-y stalker like 20% into the movie
Anyway I won't explain anymore of the film, I recommended rewatching it

I'm not a fan of Whitneys music but it makes the movie interesting because you can tell this is a very talented person in her prime (before she went off the rails) and you can 100% see why the entertainment industry dumped $$$ on her the second they met her

As a sentiocentric antinatalist, negative utilitarian, and deontoligical/rights based efilist, I fully believe wild animal suffering matters. I would prefer they didn't come into existence if possible. I also don't think it's my responsibility to fix it or right to cause them harm, even if it's to stop future harm. If there were a way to keep them from breeding that would eliminate knock-on effects, I would take it, absolutely. Bit, from a practical perspective, there's not much I can do. I advocate where I can't to reduce harm and to spay and neuter. I've gone vegan, and I don't believe in breeding under any circumstances. I advocate where possible for pro-choice causes and pro-s*x education and contraception availability where possible.
