| » Noir Falcon - 03/07/12 16:43:53 -- Steep price, Eva, and I'm on the other side of the globe... | |
| » Eva Notron - 03/07/12 10:20:38 -- The upcoming Ellroy appearance is $250 on Friday and $100 on Saturday. | |
| » Salander - 03/05/12 13:14:21 -- Agreed, Chigurh. And Noir Falcon, you make a really good point. | |
| » Chigurh - 03/05/12 10:14:13 -- Seems the LAPD is recognizing Ellroy as some sort of expert, since he will be their keynote speaker at the opening of the new display. I imagine he will be colorful, as always, and have interesting stories to relate. He is a more recognizable name than Harnisch, but Harnisch would have been more informative. The story goes on ... | |
| » Noir Falcon - 03/04/12 22:06:13 -- Who alive truly is an "expert?" Ellroy was born the year after Beth Short was slain, and John Gilmore was all of 11. I think both know plenty about the case... Everybody seems to be a self-proclaimed "expert." I wasn't even hatched in '47, and I make no claims! | |
| » Chigurh - 03/04/12 21:49:46 -- Ellroy is a top notch L.A. writer, but he is not a Dahlia expert. He has endorsed too many theorists to be taken seriously. | |
| » Salander - 03/04/12 21:05:48 -- I think Ellroy himself is an interesting guy. I read the book and didn't like it for numerous reasons. I don't know if he personally shares the opinion of Beth being a "floozy" (or whatever), but all I'm getting at is that he hasn't done much to help dispel that myth. | |
| » Salander - 03/04/12 21:01:53 -- The problem is that I don't think he's expressed an opinion different from that in his fictional novel. He's had plenty of opportunities to discuss it. | |
| » Roland - 03/04/12 11:28:36 -- Fiction can become fact to the undiscerning mind. | |
| » Noir Falcon - 03/04/12 05:06:23 -- Have to keep reminding folks that Ellroy's book is a novel. Fiction! As fiction, I dig it. | |
| » Salander - 03/03/12 19:44:00 -- I also blame Jack Webb's book "The Badge" for that image, which Ellroy has read. | |

| » kingsta_ja - 03/02/12 12:10:05 -- aint that the truth, Noir? anyway, Ellroy is a bad choice for a speaker. he's partially responsible for her image as a prostitute. | |
» Salander - 03/02/12 01:40:38 -- Thanks a bunch! Sorry, I had to run to work.  | |
| » Noir Falcon - 03/01/12 21:01:21 -- Hefty price tag on those events, eh Kingsta? :| | |
| » kingsta_ja - 03/01/12 20:13:22 -- thanks for the tip, Noir. It's either Ellroy or gasoline for the week. what a choice. | |
| » Curfew - 03/01/12 19:56:31 -- Salander: You are now active. Please post! | |
» Noir Falcon - 03/01/12 19:43:12 -- James Ellroy is going to host a couple of Black Dahlia events at the LAPD Historical Society!  | |
| » Curfew - 03/01/12 17:59:56 -- Salander, Please try to post again. | |
| » Salander - 03/01/12 15:32:50 -- Hi! I actually have a little problem; I never received my account activation email and I've resent it a few times and still have nothing. Can anybody help? | |
| » Eva Notron - 02/16/12 11:46:20 -- Hi - The latest word from the LAPD Historical Society is that the Black Dahlia display will probably open in mid to late March or even April. It was originally scheduled to open in January in the museum. Hope it's worth the wait! | |
| » kingsta_ja - 02/13/12 12:13:30 -- i think larry is alecker. | |
| » Chigurh - 02/11/12 16:57:07 -- Is alecker back?? | |
| » alteredplans - 02/05/12 16:16:56 -- Cool new photos. | |
