Definitely a crazy story and will likely remain one of the most perplexing "unsolved crimes" of our time.
On a related note, though, it seems Hollywood is making a comedy based on this. Yes, you read that right, a COMEDY. I'm not usually offended by things, but I think that's kind of sick. The movie is called 30 Minutes or Less and stars Danny McBride and Jesse Eisenberg.
- leftnode 16y agoWhile it's not everyone's cup of tea, dark comedy is a very popular form of comedy, and a way that a lot of people deal with tragedy.
- tjarratt 16y agoAbsolutely true. Steve Martin's "Novocaine" was a dark comedy that made fun of the issue of dentists that take advantage of their patients, sexually, while under anesthesia (and it covered drug abuse as well). That was a serious concern too, but they made a (relatively) good film out of it. I'd say the issue is less the making of a dark comedy, and more that Americans have a hard time, in general, of coping with a tragedy. When is it acceptable to make a comedy about someone's death? Is it acceptable if they were complicit in the act?
- bherms 16y agoI absolutely love dark comedy generally, but for some reason the idea of a comedy about this just rubs me the wrong way. I'm not sure why, but that's my reaction to it.
