So no, it still makes no sense, and anybody who sat down and thought about it would be able to puzzle out that premeditated murder is never legally-consequence-free, no matter how much you've been screwed over.
Hm. What about DREAM LOVER where Madchen Amick goes to extraordinary lengths to get James Spader committed as violently insane and then, when she shows up for one last gloat, gets throttled by him after he informs her that he'll be found innocent by reason of insanity because, well, already proven insane? I mean, she's SERIOUSLY stupid for actually doing the visit-and-gloat, but she thought she had his number down to the littlest detail.
Fun movie in that MALICE/LAST SEDUCTION/RED ROCK WEST/WILD THINGS kinda way, and I loved the ending, but I didn't buy it for a second. Well, except that the movie implies heavily that at this point Spader may actually BE insane and not caring much what happens to himself anyway.
Well, in the DC-verse, there is Gotham City, NYC (Outsiders) AND Metropolis.
The trailer for Cronenberg's A History of Violence is up--looks interesting!
Well, in the DC-verse, there is Gotham City, NYC (Outsiders) AND Metropolis.
One of my favorite metaphorical comic book sayings is, "Metropolis is New York by day. Gotham is New York by night."
Until they gave it its Futurama-style makeover, I thought Metropolis in recent years was being drawn to resemble downtown Chicago.
I've always thought of Metropolis as Manhattan and Gotham as Brooklyn. I don't really know why I've thought of it that way, especially since I know very little about Brooklyn.
And of course nobody can say anything about Anne Bancroft without
"Mrs. Robinson, I think you're trying to seduce me."
"Would you *like* me to seduce you?"
(I LOVE that movie, though.)
There was an episode of X-Files set in either Durham or Raleigh, NC. I forget which, but Vancouver really doesn't look much like either one. After getting past my disapointment that Duchovney wasn't coming within stalking distance (I had a thing. I got over it.) I pretty much let it go.
My favorite Anne Bancroft moment came in "Garbo Talks".
"All right! Which of you wants me to sit on his face. Come on now, I haven't got all day."
Also, "84 Charing Cross Road". Sigh.
Charing Cross is my favorite Bancroft role, though I love her in The Turning Point, too. The fighting in the parking lot scene with Shirley MacLaine is just wonderful. And of course, The Miracle Worker. Mrs. Robinson is the fourth role of hers I think of.
