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.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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 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?

I want to kick the patriarchy so hard their balls lodge next to their hearts and are smashed in pain with every heartbeat.
( just watched a PBS thing in which an Indian father said "but who would do the housework" in reference to his daughter attending night school in which she was doing all the fucking wait-work plus schooling herself. Your sons who are fooling around all day free of responsibility, maybe?)
Ahem. Issues. Culture, schmulture.

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.
I sort of knew about it. I knew that it was a Hollywood murder in the 40s or 50s, a single mother, and her son wrote the book, I think? Tried to solve the crime when he was an adult?

Anybody else watch Standoff? I'm part way through and loving it a lot. Gina Torres and Ron Livingston. Plus Michael Cudlitz, who's been a supporting player in a bunch of stuff, but really grabbed my attention in Band of Brothers.
