Flowers in the Attic

I was a sick person and still am in some ways. My guilty pleasure was those VC Andrews gothic fiction novels. Right before I sobered up from Alcohol, my mom threw away all my VC Andrews books yet I still carry the stories in my head. They made one of them into a movie, a cheesy movie I may add. I rented that for kicks so my husband could see it. The book contained a lot of incest in it which was not in the movie. The movie was a skeletal version of the book. If incest was added it could change the ratings or it would not be approved into the theaters.

Louise Fletcher was fabulous as the evil grandmother, but Victoria Tennent was awful as Corrine Foxworth(the mother). I think Nicole Kidman would have made a great Corrine and Kathleen Turner as the grandmother. I vote they do a remake of this film!

Betty Broderick Story: A woman Scorned

My husband and I rented "a Woman Scorned" off of netflix this past week. It's still on our TV set. I put it in before he got home and he was neutral to this on both sides. The case was pretty intense and the woman should be eligible for parole in the next couple years.

It was wrong for her to murder her ex-husband and new wife. I think her ex husband's behavior was just as shoddy as hers. What she did was all the revenges we fantasized about doing to our men when they wrong us like that (committing adultry). She should have got some professional help from the start of this fiasco, it would have saved 2 lives and the quality of the lives of the children. Her screws were way loose! Does anyone think she should remain in prison for the rest of her life?

Her husband gave her a generous monthly allowance of $16,000 a month. She could have found a life without Daniel. I am tired I will write more about it later and hear other opinions. It's quite a contraversal topic and interesting one at that.
