"Did Michael kill Fredo to punish Connie?"
Could the OP be more dense? Did she really miss that avenging betrayal was Michael's motivation behind the 3 deaths? BTW - Fredo's death is NOT the very next sequence after Kay's visit.
"Everybody knows that Cabaret should have won the Best Picture in 1972."
Who is this "everybody" you're referring to?
"They just supplicated them into submission." ROTFLMAO!!!
OP: "a car named desire" - ROTFLMAO!!!
LOL! I guess your a young person who can't imagine lives and experiences other than her own. And the film is a fiction - not a documentary.
Please. Someone always needs to claim that a classic film is "overrated".
ZZZZZZZzzzzzz...
"...if there is such a unit, no CIA official will admit this so frankly."
You do know this is a movie, don't you?
"Them" didn't make the Irving of the series a good black guy. Connelly did. And why does that put you out?
You need to take your own advice NOSDUJ.
"...you took the ass hole literally, like a bulls-eye. He was shot in the butt."
No. It's specified in the series and the book that Elias was shot in the anus. Santiago even likens it to rape.
The killer would have had to enter and cross the car to be close enough to Elias to fire that shot up his rectum. That's what you're not grasping. Your comment that "it doesn't matter where [the killer's] body was since it's not on the video" is nonsensical.
"Maybe it was a sharpshooter. [Where is that established?] Or, maybe it was just a really, really good shooter." ROTFL!!!
Or "maybe" the killer had an unknown accomplise who doctored the film!
Please.
You also miss the point, which is how the shooter could hit that small a target at that distance. He couldn't. He'd have to have entered the car to get much closer to Elias, and had most of his body caught on camera entering and exiting the car. But I'm not sure the Angels Flight camera showed that the shooter was even inside the car. Hence the script hole.
"Why not?" Are you for real? Again, the shooter could fire with that level of accuracy from the other end of the car? That would take a sharpshooter.
"Just another detective story"? How many are there with a female DI? Nevermind one where her gender isn't a main focus of the story? That plot line is, to my knowledge, the first post-feminist detective story in TV history.
You think he could fire one "up the pipe" (as Bosch put it) with that level of accuracy from the other end of the car? LOL!
Christ, the OP is a moron.
I know he married a woman, a friend or groupie - even though he identified as gay. I read this was b/c he was worried about being taken care of once he discovered he was HIV-positive. Not the only gay man I know who married a woman - usually to please their families or act out on internalized homophobia. Never understood what sad reason a woman would have for marrying a man they knew was gay.
As for the child - I've been reading about Russell for 40 years, and the Wikipedia entry is the first I read about that. Wouldn't be the first time such a story turned out to be an unfounded rumor. Word for years was that Tom Hulce had married and had a daughter. Turned out that was completed untrue. Hulce is openly gay.
Ha! But what? The OP's claiming a woman wrote a "sexist" story about another woman's sexuality? Pathetic.
"The book was written by a woman, but the screenplay was written by a man and the film was directed by a man." So what? Are you claiming they're sexist b/c they accurately presented a woman's story about a female sexual compulsive? Please.
"I think."
No, you don't.
If you're dumb enough to make such a shallow prejudgment, then yeah, you should.
