Kathy C said:I don't consider the book "wordy." It was suspenseful and analytical. Of course, the worst part of it is when he reveals how the Black Dahlia was tortured before being killed...

James Ellroy did the documentary movie L.A. Confidential, it also talks about his mother's unsolved murder. It was a really good film and I think it hits straight home who the black Dahlia's killer was, their suspect in the movie. Believe it or not, Nick Nolte is in the film, as he is very interested in true crime, I had no idea.michelle said:Is there a movie out about this case? I thought I heard one time that "L.A. Confidential" or something like that was about this????
I want to read that, let me know how it is. I may order it.close_enough said:saw the movie, & now i'm confused....a lot of things happen in the movie, so i found it a little hard to keep up....anyway, it was interesting, but i don't think this is what happened to Elizabeth Short.....it wasn't as good as i thought it might be...on a scale of 1 to 10, i'd give it a 6..
i ordered the book Severed & it should be here on or around the 19th...
Oh, I was hoping it would be a 10!!mssheila said:Before I went to see the movie, I saw an article on it that says it is LOOSELY based on the actual case. I agree, after seeing the movie. I would give the movie a 2 out of 10 because it only focused on the actual murder peripherally.
Was Hodel's suspect the surgeon suspect thay spoke of in L.A. confidential ?? It's been a while since I seen it, so I forget all the names and characters, I just remember thinking they had a good suspect. I'll have to watch it again.K. Taylor said:FWIW, James Ellroy is now distancing himself from Steve Hodel's theory. He said Hodel convinced him (thus his preface to Hodel's book) but that Hodel has gone off the rails in recent years. Ellroy particularly cited Hodel's theory that a minion of his father killed Ellroy's mother, a theory which Ellroy calls bull****.
Yea thats what I will do too.Jodibug said:Well since the reviews aren't that great, I'll wait till it gets to the cheap theater and I'm bored.... or I'll just rent it when it gets to DVD.
