The Black Dahlia, (movie) Options

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

I'm not too sure if I like the idea of them making a movie about one of the most infamous unsolved murders in history.

For some people who don't know who the Black Dahlia (aka Beth Short) is you can read about it on crime library

I want to see it, though, because I'm interested in how they're going to portray the characters.

I wanted to watch this originally.
But after spending an hour reading up on the real case info, I'm a little freaked out.

Well, it doesn't really have anything to do with the real facts of the case. In fact, a good deal of it is made up. There's some goriness, but nothing a teenager who grew up with cable wouldn't be able to handle.

Yes.
I absolutely adore film.
My expectations of this film were nothing but poor. It was a De Palma film, Josh Hartnett was in it, the trailer looked pretty bad, and the buzz was enough to make me want to vomit. However, I don't allow my expectations to define a movie for me. I'm very open minded and take each film at face value. Many a time my expectations are blown away. This happened to be one of those situations. I was expecting simply a mediocre film, nothing too special, and in some cases, just plain bad. However, what I saw was beyond plain bad and sunk further below par than I could have ever imagined. It was awful beyond my expectations.

Total shit, and I can say that having gone in with an open mind. For serious.

But, also note, I'm a film snob. I have rather high standards in regions of film and a very defined, yet eclectic, taste. But, in my honest summation, this movie will be hated by the general public as well. But, don't take my word for it, sneak into a theater and see it.

Yeah, it blew big time. Brian De Palma is a hack. Which is a shame because I was looking forward to it.

And Scarlett Johannsen cannot act. Period, dot dash. She was horrible. I hated how her way of emoting was to stand there with her mouth opened like a fish. I did like the mother though. She was at least genuinely entertaining.
