I'd add to that not just the 10% of the brain, but also the "we lose 90% of our body heat through our heads" idea, and misuse of the word "bemused."<br /><br />Max, I agree that Mia Krishner was great in that movie, but I think that's because that is the only character she plays--the Black Dahlia is just a variation on her character from <i>The L Word</i>.<br /><br />This show is so disturbing in all the wrong ways.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-47852268416301363112011-12-01T19:15:32.739-05:002011-12-01T19:15:32.739-05:00Embarrassing... sorry about the couple of errors t...Embarrassing... sorry about the couple of errors there. I guess that's what happens when you're writing quickly. I was leaving for work after I posted it and suddenly thought "Tate <i>was</i> in that one scene!". Heh.<br /><br />A couple of other points:<br /><br />- Definitely agree about Ben's behavior. He's a strange character, and I'm not sure if it's all intentional, or the writing is just bad.<br /><br />- Don't remind me of the de Palma Black Dahlia! Ugh. One of the most miscast movies in history. Although Mia Kirshner was <i>fantastic</i> as the Dahlia. Should have gotten an Oscar nod for that.maxpower03https://www.blogger.com/profile/11951553958753040457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-20457596772209702872011-12-01T17:14:22.298-05:002011-12-01T17:14:22.298-05:00Not sure what this whole Vatican thing means or if...Not sure what this whole Vatican thing means or if Constance still plans to mother her son's monster child. <br /><br />I'm also starting to wonder why none of the embittered ghosts aren't trying to get back at the ghosts that killed them. I would never be okay with living an eternity with the one who killed me.<br /><br />Ben's dickish behavior was what reminded me of Piggy Piggy. The way he attacked Vivien and Luke was kinda like how he pressured that guy into confronting things that scared him half to death on like the second day of therapy. Although, I do think Ben's little tough guy routine with the sneakiness and the cigarette is quite hilarious; must be because I see him very much as a normal guy, kind of an idiot loser too, rather than someone intimidating. He did to Luke what he did Larry a few episodes ago.<br /><br />The Moira storyline was fun this time. More awkwardness. So very awkward. Gotta say for as much of a douchebag Ben can be he has held his own pretty well against Moira's temptations, especially considering he's got some troubled sexual issues gnawing at him.<br /><br />Any Black Dahlia story is fine by me as long as it isn't like that movie that BD came out awhile back. Charles Montgomery being the killer (or carver) would actually make sense.<br /><br />The scene between Constance and Tate really shook me, considering it is one of the only scenes they've had as mother and son. The hostility vs. pleading love really switched gears between the two of them. <br /><br />Good, but agreed, it could've been better.Your Modest Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12635516421467177804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-58853801675353508932011-12-01T16:43:28.890-05:002011-12-01T16:43:28.890-05:00One thing that irked me:
