Look into my crazed eyes

Manson.

and the movie they are showing is funny.

Funny, meaning, it has nothing to do with truth.

Read Bugliosi's book.

This movie is ridiculous.

People in the 21st century pretending to understand the 60's.

Badly.

This movie is full of lies and misrepresentations.

Read the book.

I only put it on to see if it would follow the story in a more truthful manner. It doesn't.

This movie is shit.

1. Why is CBS doing this movie again?
Years ago they put out a mini series starring Steve Railsback (sp?) that was pretty damn terrifying....at least to me.

And it was based on the "Bug Man"'s book.

Fook 'em....I'm waiting for 'The Practice' to start/end.

2. The last Practice....
SIGHSIGHSIGHSIGH....
It was must watch TV in it's prime. A couple of seasons of poopoo stories and ACTING, until the purge (pun intended LOL) this year which REALLY restored the quality: back to must watch. The set-up for the successor series has been great. Can hardly wait for it.

So are we gonna watch the new version of "The Practice"? Or just give up? I haven't decided yet.

5. Lies and misrepresentations?
I read the book and have studied the history. It is truthful - what do you think is shit?

The guy is and was at the very least a sociopath - psychopath and more.

What is "funny" about it?

6. Interesting to hear
I read a review this weekend that summed it up the same. The film in 1976 was very well done. The book is excellent.

7. I thought it was OK.
I'm not sure what you're saying is ridiculous. I've read the book, and seen the first movie several times. It appeared to stick to the details pretty well.

Yes, Railsback was awesome, and DiCenzo was great as Bugliosi, but I liked seeing a different presentation. I did NOT like Kirby as Bugliosi, and it dragged toward the end for me, but I liked how they showed Charlie messing with people's heads (like when Linda first joined).

The first movie didn't delve enough into how he was able to manipulate the people. It TALKED about how he did it, but this one had some focus on that.

The thing that drove me nuts about the first movie was the Dorothy Hamill-like hair on Atkins. Yes, she was creepy, but anachronistic details like that drive me NUTS. 70s hair in a 60s movie pisses me off. Other than that, it was good. And the new one had its moments.
