I don't have a particular interest in true crime, but I'd heard of the Black Dahlia case. Though, I couldn't really tell you any details. Just one of those things you've heard of.
(ETA: Or, what Jesse said.)
I'm watching Miami Ink and taping Nip/Tuck. Good times.
I'm watching Nip/Tuck, and it is good times. But I can't believe how heavy Kathleen Turner is. Is it for real?
never heard of it until the movie.
I was surprised, too, Jesse. And, damn, her voice has gotten deep.
Boy, the Zodiac killer murdered more people than I thought. Huh. Why is there no movie about him? (Her? Or is there?)
Zodiac is in development, I think. Or at least I've been holding onto its Hollywood Stock Exchange security for awhile. Also Bob mentioned a movie with Mary-Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Kevin Kline last night where they solved the murders? Will probably ETA with the imdb.
ETA: Zodiac with Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo, dir. by David Fincher:

The other was the January Man, and I bet Bob was mistaken about it having to do with the Zodiac killer, but I've never seen it.
I've heard of "Black Dahlia", but other than "it involves murder", i so couldn't tell you what the case was about.
Paul Wellstone is on that Wikipedia list of mysterious deaths! Huh.
I knew about Black Dahlia. But I have a morbid interest.
Stranger than Fiction
may be the perfectly designed movie for me: two hours of Emma Thompson narrating how she will arrange Will Farrell's death.
I WANT TO READ THE BB WHITEFONT.
I'm not though.
I was going to say that even "in California history" is overstating it, considering this is the state that gave us the Zodiac Killer.
Well, you take approximately 200 books, fiction and non-fiction, written about the Black Dahlia, including the ones written by people who think their Daddy did it. Plus the number of true crime TV specials that re-investigate the murder every few years. Add in one upcoming movie and the aforementioned Hunter episode and I do think Elizabeth Short wins by a landslide.
Though now I'm wondering...do they have a Zodiac Killer Bus Tour too?
