6 Reasons Why The Jinx Is F*cking Incredible

4. He's A Total Attention Seeker

Durst is the son of real-estate mogul Seymour Durst and the heir to Durst Organisation -- which is worth a whole heck of dollars. For a guy who was described by many as quiet and shy in his formative years, the early €˜80s changed that persona forever. Durst€™s life became the subject of mass media attention when his wife, Kathie Durst, went missing and has subsequently never been found. It didn€™t end there though. In 2000, Durst€™s longtime friend, Susan Berman, who facilitated Durst€™s public alibi after Kathie€™s disappearance, was found murdered in a mafia-style hit. Then, one year later, Durst was arrested shortly after body parts of his neighbour, Morris Black, were found floating in Galveston Bay. This guy is one shady character.

Yet the question needs to be asked: with dirty laundry wafting around in public, why would Durst seek more €œunwanted€ attention? It€™s bad enough he hasn€™t spent a day in prison for any of his supposed atrocities, let alone allowing a film crew scrutinise your conduct and pay flying visits to the people who want you locked away. What did Durst expect to achieve from the mini-series? It€™s this megalomanic psyche that makes Durst the enigmatic and conceited draw you can€™t help but watch, and makes you think that every word from his mouth is meticulously thought out. He€™s a flat out attention seeker and he€™s loving every minute in the spotlight.
