I Think We're Alone Now

Maybe because it was before my time but I have never heard of Tiffany before. She’s a pop-star that made it fairly big in the 1980s. Like most people who achieve a high degree of game and even sometimes for those who don’t, she has at least a couple people who follow her and her life a bit too closely.

Stalkers, if you will.

The film takes a close look at two of those stalkers. One was a man his mid-40s with Asperger’s Syndrome and the other was s transgendered woman of a similar age. They both take any chance they can to devote their life to the once famous pop-star and collect an innumerable amount of her press and memorabilia.

The man even goes so far as to buy a device that “enhances his telepathic connection to Tiffany.” It may not be surprising that has a restraining order in place again him.
These people who stalk her have all of these delusions about her and also about themselves. I don’t think they’re lying to themselves though. They truly believe these misconceived notions they have created.

Does everyone lie to themselves? Maybe a bit but hopefully not enough to create these life stopping rules that these Tiffany fans have and hopefully they don’t believe the lies. I thought I was going to laugh at this a lot but I found it be kind of sad. Don’t get me wrong there are some funny parts though. The viewer ends up being just as removed as the stalkers are to Tiffany because there isn’t an interview with her and she isn’t in the movie.
