Today, along with a couple of other movies, I watched The Black Dahlia. I was looking forward to it….I’d wanted to watch it when it was playing at the theaters, but for some reason I didn’t get to do that.For those that don’t know, The Black Dahlia is based on a real unsolved 1940’s Los Angeles murder…(yes it’s a cold case). It’s one of the most popular mysterious crimes in the US, the main reason being the barbaric nature in which Elizabeth Short (aka The Black Dahlia) was killed. She was discovered CUT IN HALF AT THE WAIST amongst other things (still gets me shivering).
See more facts about The Black Dahlia
The movie wasn't what I really expected. It was more of a fictional account of what happened, meanwhile i was expecting facts. I won't say I recommend it, and it is so not a family movie.
Alright people, have a great Sunday…I’m off to go put away the last of my laundry (Actually did 4 loads)
I leave you with this song by Superchick titled "We Live"
If it doesn't play, here is a direct Link

I'm awfully glad the pictures of the scene weren't in color. They'd have been super-gruesome.
Who would do such a thing?
@ Azuka
Your right about it being super-gruesome.
Obviously someone did...the cops said it was probably someone in the medical field (surgeon), because of the way she was cleanly cut and disemboweled.. (shivering @ the thought)
Lots of people came out claiming to be suspects, and also lots of people ratting people out..and even till now, some people claim their fathers or grandfathers did it..
Its just crazy!
hehehe.. ah the fickle world of movies.. either they disappiont or they enthrall
Hmm sounds like not too bad of a movie, I should try it, even though I had gruesome movies!
HOpe you are doing good eh? My laundry is stil lying around oh and I need a serious visit to the drycleaners too! I need a whooping or two, I believe!!
@ Elle
lol
@ Naijadude
I'm fine..
Yeah you need serious whooping..LOL
@ ONB
LOL @ your company being boring...I sincerely doubt that :-)
you wanted facts, nilla? Dont think it would've been unsolved if they had facts.
If the producers had dared 'misrepresent' events, some movie critic would have slammed them for their audacity.
Hope to see the movie soon, though. Some blood and gore to spice up a weekend?
