The Black Dahlia

[Goosemaster]

Needless to say, the only reason I stayed in my seat was for the lesbian scenes.

Having been witness to various lesbian lovemaking scenes, it's kind of sad that everyone in my party, including myself thought it was awful.

I mean, lesbians, dildos, etc?! You'd think that would be enough...

Yet a lack of character building a weak and hackneyed plot, and an unpredicatble but uninspiring twist at the end were too much to bear. The entire audience laughed out loud at the film repeatedly, laughing in horror really, and overall, everyone came out thinking of it as a joke.

All that was on my mind as we left, beside the lesbians (they were scrumptuous) was that this was indeed, qutie a pathetic entrenchment on "L.A. Confidential" territory.

I didn't choose the film

Worse, I got it confused with Hollywoodland so I thought it would be decent

Surprisingly Josh Hartnett played his part rather well, but Aaron Eckhart was absoltuely awful. Echhart's character, although doped up, was nonsensical, and other characters referenced traits and such that he simply did not get through to the audience, which left us confused

That wasn't a spoiler.....

That's liek someone telling you that Garfield is orange before you walk into the movie.


The Movie is based on true events, and one can easily look that up.

Were you under the impression someone invented lesbianism? Like the light bulb?

James Ellroy(the author) saw the original 3+ hour cut and said it was amazing. Once they cut almost an hour out of it, he proclaimed it imcomprehensible.

I saw it and understood it only because I had read the book. I wish the folks behind LA Confidential had optioned the book. That was a great adaptation of the book.

There were "Lesbians" in ancient Rome...

Rent this instead:

The Rebecca Romijn movie (Femme Fatale) was a surprisingly good story, not just delicous eye candy.

This movie was soooo bad, I wish I could get my money back.

First, instead of having a normal color pallette, they had this yellowish white that made the movie look older. That pissed me off. I think the movie tried to be a movie from that time period instead of being a movie of that time period.


***POSSIBLE SPOILERS***


Second, the movie is barely about the murder. The murder is just a backdrop to more important things like a flirt triangle between the main character's partner and his woman-friend. The film, at one point seems to indicate the partner's dislike for the main character when the woman-friend kisses the main character, but nothing ever happens throughout the film. Why did the film show that reaction.. who knows?

It's like 3 or 4 plots mixed together each happening at different points in the film. Plot one happens, then the supposed main plot takes over, which is taken over by another plot... and the story branches out into so many things. The film also throws out hints that something might happen, although nothing does.

I never gave a crap about the dead girl. I still doen't really know who she is, except just a slut looking for money. Near the end of the movie when the film returned to the supposed main plot, I didn't care about it, I don't care about who killed her.

The film was really confusing to follow. It kept throwing out names from one plot that mixed with other plots... The main character also reacted very upredictably to certain catalysts that I didn't catch. There were a bunch of scenes where I was just confused. "WTF happened?" I kept asking myself.

The movie was also dry and dragged on. It had no climax and no real ups and downs.

I finally went to see this, over the weekend (on a sh!tty second date with an annoying witch, no less). Awful movie IMO. I love James Ellroy and like DaPalma, but this was just ridiculous. It was laughable when it tried to be thrilling, and poorly acted and written all around. Meh . . .

wtf there was a dildo in this movie? there were dildos in the 1950s?
