Who finds the Black Dahlia murder interesting?

I was watching a special on it on A%26amp;E and i found it so interesting... I can't wait to see the movie.

Who finds the Black Dahlia murder interesting?
I definitely do. Can't wait to see the movie either. An interesting side note: The author, James Ellroy says he was always fascinated by the subject of the Black Dahlia because when he was young, his mom was brutally murdered and left basically in the street, in LA. Her murder was sortof a Black Dahlia story to him, personally. He grew up with a lot of emotions about it, and the case was never solved. He wrote an incredible memoir about his life and the search for his mom's killer in the book "My Dark Places". I really recommend it, if you are into detective work/true crime.
Reply:I have for years,I used to read everything I could about it,I hope this movie is good.

Read this Poem By: Dahlia Ravikovitch?

Pride





I tell you, even rocks crack,


and not because of age.


For years they lie on thier backs


in the heat and the cold,


so many years,


it seems peaceful.


They dont move, so the cracks stay hidden.


A kind of pride.


Years pass over them, waiting there.


Whoever is going to shatter them


hasn't come yet.


And so the moss flourishes, the seaweed whips around,


the sea pushes through and rolls back---


the rocks seem motionless.


And suddently the rock has an open wound.


I told you, when rocks break, it happens by surprise.


And people, too








Can you tell me:


*Rocks are usually a symbol of strength and invulnerbility, yet rocks have crackd. What aspect of human nature do you think the poet is comparing to these cracks?





* The poet descibes the natural forces that act on the rocks. How do you think the poet sees this as similar, in some way, to human experience?

Read this Poem By: Dahlia Ravikovitch?
As it says in the title...pride. The Bible says that pride goes before a downfall. We can hide our pride for awhile and do okay, but eventually it will show and cause us to fall. This is what happens to many in power, both in politics and religion. When they become successful (rich and influential) the pride causes them to think that they are above the law. They do wrong and get caught, then...bam!...down they fall. The cracks can also be some hidden hurts from past wounds which their pride thinks that they have under control. One day someone pushes that button and wham! an explosion they may not even understand causes a chain reaction that brings them down.





I think the natural forces are the ebbs and flows of daily life. We all experience ups and downs, days of joy and days of sorrow, good times with friends as well as the death of loved ones, being loved and being betrayed. Eventually, the toll of life will show what character a person has. If there are hidden faults they begin to show and then that person begins to fall apart.





I believe there is hope for such a one though. Repentance and forgiveness, inner healing and humility which is the opposite of pride.


Im researching the black dahlia and im PISSED?

i am so mad/sad how could you chop someone so beautiful and probably talented IN HALF ugh i want to be a criminal investigator when i get older and usually grusome murder scene pictures dont bother me, but this.is.sickening.





she was SOOO pretty and I KNOW it was that LAPD guy's dad who did it, he was a surgen (her uterus was removed with a perfect incision and other things like that) and his son found photographs of her naked and dressed in his house...but his dad was alredy dead by then :[ it isnt fair








he got away with the most grusome, horrific, and pointless murder (supposedly becuz she said no to having sex with him) ??? I CAN NOT GET OVER THIS and since hes dead i cant say "one day i'll help find enough evidence to convict him" and if he didnt kill her, whoever did is either dead or dying since this was in the 40s :[





who agrees that this is SO SICK

Im researching the black dahlia and im PISSED?
There is still a lot of disagreement in law enforcement circles about this. The detective's dad may not be the killer.





Of course, it was a terrible and shocking crime. But if you really want to be a useful and productive criminal investigator, you will have to learn to control your emotions and to be very objective. An investigator that latches on to one theory and then ignores evidence that it may have happened a different way will not serve justice in the end.





Good luck in your future career.
Reply:you know you remind me of myself that case always bothered me... i read about her and my grandmother always use too talk about that women how beautiful that young girl was... its really ashame what happened too her..and i agree with you it wasnt fair.. it was a throw away case it seems too me... it seems they could have worked harder too find out who did this too her.. i guess if it happened now they would have sense now were more advanced then they were ..and it makes me mad too.......what a waste of life....
Reply:But chopping up the unattractive and talentless is OK?

Who killed the Black Dahlia?

Steve Hodel, retired LA Police Detective, wrote a book claiming that his father George Hodel, Jr. was the killer.

I think the case is still open, though.

Who killed the Black Dahlia?
Ditto. Only theories. No proof. Interesting case though. I love this stuff.
Reply:A sex offender and a sadistic one at that.
Reply:No one really knows. I read a great book on this a few years ago; though it was fiction, it theorized who might have killed her and why, using some factual information from the case. The name of it is "Black Dahlia", can't remember the author. It should be in libraries--that's where I found it.
Reply:there is a retired cop who thinks his father was the killer.


His dad was a doctor and a control freak and there was allot of evidence that pointed to him being the one.

I have never heard of Hollywoodland. I HAVE seen the trailer for Black Dahlia, and it looked pretty cool. I would recommend it.
Reply:Black Dahlia, it's spooky, gave me the chills, Hollywoodland, didn't interest me too much, I guess I just can't stand anything with Ben Affleck in it.

b. actors and actresses (Hartnett and Eckhart

c. the plot, based upon a book by James Ellroy

What was the black dahlia murders, beside the band.?

The Black Dahlia was a woman who was murdered in 1930s L.A.. Her real name was Elizabeth Short. She had the reputation of being a prostitute, but this may not be true. Her mutilated body was found in a vacant lot. She had been tortured, probably over a period of several days. Amongst other things, she had been cut in half at the waist. The crime remains unsolved.

What was the black dahlia murders, beside the band.?
There's a website dedicated to her story. I haven't looked at all of it, yet.





(eeewwww. the website is gruesome. it really details the story, though.)
Reply:Black Dahlia died in the 40's I think, she was one step up from a hooker, may have had mob connections, her handle will bring up any information you want.
Reply:There really was only one murder, a girl went to, I beleive California and was found dead, she was cut in half and was cut from ear to ear. They found her on a sidewalk. They beleive it had to be a doctor who done it, but the case is still open. Now I deserve 10 points for this.


When do you plant dahlia tublers?

Depends on where you live.

When do you plant dahlia tublers?
You plant them in the spring, when danger of last frost is over. It depends on where you are when that risk has passed. I did mine about 2 weeks ago, and I'm in Northern Virginia.





I used to live in Northern NJ, and we planted around Mother's Day there. Good luck!
Reply:Now is fine they are hardy to certain temperatures I live in Ohio and must dig them up and i put them in the basement and replace in the spring-our winters are too harsh.


Who saw "The Black Dahlia" and thought it was a good movie?

Okay, I saw it yesterday and thought it was an awesome movie, me and my sister both, but my other sister and my brother thought it was stupid cause it was so confusing. What do you guys think?





p.s-I also thought Josh Harnett was one hottie too!

Who saw "The Black Dahlia" and thought it was a good movie?
I saw it last week and I like it, but my boyfriend find it stupid...
Reply:I saw it last week and really enjoyed. Not one of the best movies ever, but definetly an awesome plot. Lots of good characters. If you sit back and watch it without trying to understand it, it's even better. I love how everything just comes together. If you've seen any of the old crime movies from the 50's and 60's, "The Black Dahlia" is almost a perfect replica, even the hazy colors and camera angles. Great movie.





Check out "Chinatown" with Jack Nicholoson. Another classic.
Reply:I havent yet. But according to the reviews, the worst ever. They have said that what's on the trailer are opposite in the whole film. So it might not that good movie. The story is far from the title. Don't know yet.

MASTER GARDENER TO THE RESCUE





Do NOT cut them off at the base with a weed wacker or anything else. Trim off the dead blooms, and allow them to die back naturally to the base. then remove the dead foliage and care for them depending on local weather and growing conditions. year around gardens, leave in the ground, cold areas you may want to dig up for winter.


contact your local extension office and speak to a locally trained MASTER GARDENER for the best way to do it for you own area.
Reply:Just cut off the dead flowers.

Hilary Swank in Black Dahlia or Kathleen Robertson in Hollwoodland?

It's funny how they were both in 90210 and they weren't as popular as the other main characters...and NOW they are both starring in roles about infamous deaths in Hollwood. Lol. Do you think Kathleen has what it takes like Hilary? I bet she has a small role in Hollywoodland.

Hilary Swank in Black Dahlia or Kathleen Robertson in Hollwoodland?
The Black Dahlia case was one of the most bizarre and sickening murders ever committed, the more so because the killer was never caught. CAUGHT...the possibility that the L.A. police knew exactly who they were dealing with remains an intriguing possibility...





But isn't it odd that there are suddenly TWO films coming out based on the subject? And to be honest...if I were either Swank or Robinson, I think I'd find the role too creepy to play.

It's about the murder of Elizabeth Short, that happened in 1947. There is a web site posted below if you would like to check it out...but be careful, there are some graphic photos. I found this site a few years ago doing a paper in college for a forensics class.

Reply:Real life story of the murder of a young lady named Elizabeth Short 1924-1947. I don't think she was an actress, nor was she trying to become one. She was 23 at the time.





Hard to say what makes her murder so famous--or infamous if you


prefer. She received the name 'black dahlia" because there was a movie out that same time called The Blue Dahlia". I'm not familiar with the movie.





The movie about the Superman actor is called Hollwoodland. It's about George Reeves who played Superman/Clark Kent in The Adventures of Superman in the 50s, He died in 59 and there's always been a controversy about it. Officially he committed suicide, but there has always been a theory about possible murder

Reply:I wouldn't call it a "true story." It's an adaptation of a 1987 novel by James Ellroy, The Black Dahlia, which is written in the noir style and centers on the notorious case of Elizabeth Short's murder, but is very loosely based on historical facts. Just don't see it and then think it's actually an accurate portrayal of the case. But it is a very notorious unsolved murder case, and I guess the darkness and mystery surrounding it and the Black Dahlia herself would have seemed to fit the mood/style of the story Ellroy wanted to write. Besides that, the case just generates a lot of natural interest, even now, not to mention what kind of obsession/entertainment for the masses it would have inspired back then.
Reply:It's a true story about the murder of an aspiring actress in 1947. The crime was particularly grisly - the woman was dismembered and found out in the open - and is apparently still unsolved.





Also, the film Hollywoodland is about Steve Reeves, who played Superman in the 1950's on TV. His death was ruled a suicide, but the film raises doubts.





Both about the dark side of Hollywood.

Who is the Black Dahlia?

What happened to her? And how come no one has solved her death?

Who is the Black Dahlia?
She was an aspiring actress who was murdered (cut in half), in LA. The person who did it is probably long dead, as that happened 40 to 50 years ago.
Reply:Elizabeth Short, better known as the Black Dahlia, was the victim of a murder in 1947. She was born July 29, 1924 and died January 15, 1947.





Short was last seen alive on the evening of January 9, 1947, in the lobby of the Biltmore Hotel at 5th Street and Olive in downtown Los Angeles. She was 22 years old.





On January 15, 1947, her body was discovered in a vacant lot of the 3800 block of South Norton Avenue in the Leimert Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, cut in half at the waist and mutilated.





According to newspaper reports shortly after the murder, Short received the nickname Black Dahlia at a Long Beach drugstore in the summer of 1946, as a play on the then-current movie The Blue Dahlia, starring Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake. Los Angeles County district attorney investigators' reports state the nickname was invented by newspaper reporters covering the murder. In either case, Short was not generally known as the "Black Dahlia" in life.

Reply:She was an upcoming model and actress in the late 1940's. Someone murdered her, by cutting her in half, and stuffing her vagina with grass. They had suspects, but they all had alibis! And besides, she was sleeping with a lot of men. Some men, even had wives. And some say she was a prostitute.
Reply:I don't know why her murder has not been solved, but she was a starlet that got murdered. they cut her mouth from ear to ear and cut her in half from what I hear. As you might know they have a movie either coming out or out already in the theaters.

Reply:She was an aspiring actress who was brutally murdered, she was cut in half and beaten horribly. Her blood was drained before her body was dumped along a road in a develping neighborhood. There has been much speculation as to who murdered her. It appeared she might have been somewhat permiscuous. Anywhoo, almost all of the original case files have gone missing, so any evidence they might have had to do DNA testing is now gone.





Elizabeth Short was her name.
Reply:She was murdered out in California. The killer managed to get away somehow. It was a very greusome murder. The killer cut her from ear to ear along the mouth so that it gave her the most disturbing grin. Her stomach was so cut up that her body was in two pieces. There were organs out of place and things where they shouldn't have been. Look around on the internet for more. Any more details and I'll get reported for adult content.
Reply:some actress chick she was murdered and i don't know why they didn't solve it. The killers probably dead by now.
Reply:Elizabeth Short. She was an actress in the 40's and received the nickname because of her black hair and because she liked to dress in all black.





Her murder is a mystery because someone wanted it to be and paid enough to keep it quiet. It was thought that a surgeon killed her because of how she was cut up.

HollywoodLand or Balck Dahlia?

i'm very excited to see both of these movies, which one do you think will be better though

HollywoodLand or Balck Dahlia?
I think that the Black Dahlia will be better- it will be more graphic, probably, and darker, because of the very strange nature and the bizarreness of the crime. But I may go see both films.





UNSOLVED MYSTERIES featured segments on both of these infamous crimes.





I suspect, though I am not positive, that the killer of Elizabeth Short may have been the same man who committed about 15 brutal murders in Cleveland, Ohio, a few years before Elizabeth Short's tragic demise.





He was known by Elliot Ness and others as "The Torso Killer".
Reply:i was wondering the same thing, i really want to see both, but i'm guessing maybe Black Dahlia.
Reply:I will see these two movies . I think the Superman murder will be more interesting since it just came out that he may have been murdered . Black Dahlia has been out for years and many movies made , the one with Lucille Arnez , made for TV was really good . I think it will be close .

i would see both but i would see black dahlia first, only reason i been doing my research for almost 8 yrs now. your choice.
Reply:They're both good, but flawed movies.





If you and your date are more in the mood for a visually dazzling experience, by all means choose "The Black Dahlia." The cinematography and editing are spectacular, and, as usual, DePalma supplies a few great set pieces.





If it's terrific performances that you prefer in a movie, see "Hollywoodland." Adrien Brody and Diane Lane are typically excellent, and Ben Affleck is a revelation as George Reeves.





Since you have an interest in this sort of film, either is worth your time. But I I had to choose one over the other, "Hollywoodland" gets my vote.





Enjoy the show!
Reply:Hollywoodland is way better than Black Dahlia. I'm still trying to get someone to explain to me what happened in Black Dahlia. It may have been that the director had to cut out an hour, I don't know, but nobody seems to be clear on what happened or why.





I've seen a few complaints here and there about Hollywoodland, but it had my attention for the whole time and the acting was very good.

Reply:No, the movie wasn't that great in fact it sucked. I was under the impression that it was going to be about Elizabeth Short ( The Black Dahlia) given that was the title of the movie. She was barely mentioned in the movie, it was more or less about the obsession the two detectives had for her.





You could always rent the movie first to make a judgment for yourself.


Anyone see Black Dahlia, All the King's Men, or Little Miss Sunshine?

Anyone see Black Dahlia, All the King's Men, or Little Miss Sunshine?
I've seen both Little Miss Sunshine and The Black Dahlia.





Little Miss Sunshine was very cute and entertaining. It reminded me of the original Vacation movie with Chevy Chase in it, only the family was even more dysfunctional.





The Black Dahlia, on the other hand, was horrible. It was overdramatized and did not live up to my expectations. Even though the film was not intended to be funny, I couldn't help but laugh in many parts as they were so overdone that they were ridiculous. Don't waste your time on this one.
Reply:U can see Bee from the Podcast.
Reply:Little Miss Sunshine is an awesome film, you will laugh and cry.
Reply:I just saw the Black Dahlia. It's really dark, kind of 1940ish. You'll either love it or hate it. I found Hillary Swank stole the whole movie - she is excellent and I'm not even a fan. My daughter and I like it even though some don't. Have fun!
Reply:I saw Little Miss Sunshine and loved it. I thought it was really funny.
Reply:I saw The Black Dahlia the beginning of this movie was soooooo boring but twards the end it was good
Reply:Of those three, I've only seen Little Miss Sunshine, but it was so fantastic. I want to see it again. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Do Happy Single Dahlia's need to be brought in in the winter?

It depends on where you live. According to The Garden Helper:





"Dahlias are summer blooming tubers which are generally only hardy in USDA zones 7-11. In the majority of the country, they must be planted each spring and then cut back and dug each fall after the first killing frost."





Zone 7 is Oklahoma and it goes south from there. So, if you are down south, you can leave them in; otherwise, lift them!





Good luck and check the link for more information.

How to prepare dahlia bulbs for winter?

Place the tubers upside down in a dry airy space for about two weeks. This allows moisture to drain out of stems. The tubers need to be completely dry before they are stored for the winter. Next store the tubers in trays of dry sand or peat moss in a cool, dry cellar or storage area at about 40 to 45 degrees F. Never store at a much higher temperature, as dahlia tubers will dry out and shrivel rapidly.





Another method of storing includes placing tubers in a heavy-grade, black plastic bag without additional packing material. Then seal the bag. This will prevent the tubers from dehydrating. Keep the tubers in a frost-free area. The danger exists, however, that they will sweat and rot.





Inspect the tubers every few weeks during the winter to check for disease or shriveling. Cut off any diseased parts and, if the tubers have shriveled, place them in a bucket of water overnight to plump them up. Allow them to dry thoroughly before returning them to storage.

How to prepare dahlia bulbs for winter?
For the dahlias in the ground I just cut off the tops, dry thoroughly, and toss in a paper bag and put in a crawl space under the kitchen, it's dark and cool. But... I also have dahlia in planters and just let them dry completely after cutting them back and set the whole planter in the crawl space. In the spring I just water and feed the planter and set the tubers in the ground. I also do the same with my tuberous begonias that are in planters. Works like a dream.
Reply:Cut off the stems. Dig them up, hose them off, allow them to dry for a couple of days. Put a layer of peat moss in a box, add the tubers, cover with more peat moss. Store in a cool dry place such as a garage. Keep barely moist until you're ready to put them back in the ground (early spring, but after danger of hard freeze is past).
Reply:After they start to turn yellow and die back, dig carefully and cut off the tops leaving a short stem. Wash well and put through a rinse of water with a small amount of bleach to kill any residual peests. Dry thoroughly inside (garage floor) and store in boxes filled with saw dust. I cut mine apart before storing, but you must be very careful to include an eye in each tuber. Here in the milder coastal zones of the west I do this about November.
Reply:The bulbs have to be stored in a paper bag %26amp; stored in a dark place that isn't cold
Reply:dig the bulbs out of soil when the plants turn yellow ,cut the foliage about one inch above the bulbs then spread the bulbs on newspaper to dry them up in dry place then store them in a box and cover them with peat moss

not bad, but a little gruesome.. lots of sex and violence, so don't take kids to see it!
Reply:The book was pretty good, if you have itunes, you can listen to a preview of the book.


It was a little bit drawn out, but like any good mystery/detective novel, there were twists and turns and lots of money changing hands.

Are oats and dahlia the same thing?

If not then can anyone give me the nutritive values of both.

Are oats and dahlia the same thing?
OATS:


The Oat (Avena sativa) is a species of cereal grain, and the seeds of this plant. They are used for food for people and as fodder for animals, especially poultry and horses. Oat straw is used as animal bedding and sometimes as animal feed.








Since oats are unsuitable for making bread on their own, they are often served as a porridge made from crushed or rolled oats, oatmeal, and are also baked into cookies (oatcakes), which can have added wheat flour. As oat flour or oatmeal, they are also used in a variety of other baked goods (e.g. bread made from a mixture of oatmeal and wheat flour) and cold cereals, and as an ingredient in muesli and granola. Oats may also be consumed raw, and cookies with raw oats are becoming popular. Oats are also occasionally used in Britain for brewing beer. Oatmeal stout is one variety brewed using a percentage of oats for the wort. The more rarely used Oat Malt is produced by the Thomas Fawcett %26amp; Sons Maltings and was used in the Maclay Oat Malt Stout before Maclay ceased independent brewing operations.





Oats also have non-food uses. Oat straw is also used in corn dolly making, and it is the favourite filling for home made lace pillows. Oat extract can be used to soothe the skin conditions, e.g. in baths, skin products, etc.





Oats are generally considered "healthy", or a health food, being touted commercially as nutritious.








Oat grains in their husks


[edit] Soluble Fiber


Oat bran is the outer casing of the oat. Its consumption is believed to lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and possibly to reduce the risk of heart disease.





After reports found that oats can help lower cholesterol, an "oat bran craze" swept the U.S. in the late 1980s, peaking in 1989, when potato chips with added oat bran were marketed. The food fad was short-lived and faded by the early 1990s. The popularity of oatmeal and other oat products again increased after the January 1998 decision by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when it issued its final rule allowing a health claim to be made on the labels of foods containing "soluble fiber" from whole oats (oat bran, oat flour and rolled oats), noting that 3 grams of soluble fiber daily from these foods, in conjunction with a diet low in "saturated fat" and "cholesterol", and "low fat" may reduce the risk of heart disease. In order to qualify for the health claim, the whole oat-containing food must provide at least 0.75 grams of soluble fiber per serving. The soluble fiber in whole oats comprise a class of polysaccharides known as Beta-D-glucan.





Beta-D-glucans, usually referred to as beta-glucans, comprise a class of non-digestible polysaccharides widely found in nature in sources such as grains, barley, yeast, bacteria, algae and mushrooms. In oats, barley and other cereal grains, they are located primarily in the endosperm cell wall.





Oat beta-glucan is a soluble fiber. It is a viscous polysaccharide made up of units of the sugar D-glucose. Oat beta-glucan is comprised of mixed-linkage polysaccharides. This means that the bonds between the D-glucose or D-glucopyranosyl units are either beta-1, 3 linkages or beta-1, 4 linkages. This type of beta-glucan is also referred to as a mixed-linkage (1→3), (1→4)-beta-D-glucan. The (1→3)-linkages break up the uniform structure of the beta-D-glucan molecule and make it soluble and flexible. In comparison, the nondigestible polysaccharide cellulose is also a beta-glucan but is non-soluble. The reason that it is non-soluble is that cellulose consists only of (1→4)-beta-D-linkages. The percentages of beta-glucan in the various whole oat products are: oat bran, greater than 5.5% and up to 23.0%; rolled oats, about 4%; whole oat flour about 4%.





Oats after corn (maize) has the highest lipid content of any cereal, e.g., %26gt;10 percent for oats and as high as 17 percent for some maize cultivars compared to about 2–3 percent for wheat and most other cereals. The polar lipid content of oats (about 8–17% glycolipid and 10–20% phospholipid or a total of about 33% ) is greater than that of other cereals since much of the lipid fraction is contained within the endosperm.

Oat is the only cereal containing a globulin or legume-like protein, avenalins, as the major (80%) storage protein. Globulins are characterized by water solubility; because of this property, oats may be turned into milk but not into bread. The more typical cereal proteins, such as gluten are prolamines. The minor protein of oat is a prolamine: avenin.





Oat protein is nearly equivalent in quality to soy protein, which has been shown by the World Health Organization to be the equal to meat, milk, and egg protein. The protein content of the hull-less oat kernel (groat) ranges from 12–24%, the highest among cereals.


Oats lack many of the prolamines found in wheat; however, oats do contain avenin. Avenin is a prolamine that is toxic to the intestinal submucosa and can trigger a reaction in some celiacs








Dahlia:


Dahlia is a genus of bushy, summer- and autumn-flowering, tuberous perennial plants native to Mexico, where they are the national flower. The Aztecs gathered and cultivated the dahlia for food, ceremony as well as decorative purposes , and the long woody stem of one variety was used for small pipes.





In 1872 a box of Dahlia roots were sent from Mexico to the Netherlands. Only one plant survived the trip, but produced spectacular red flowers with pointed petals. Nurserymen in Europe bred from this plant, which was named Dahlia juarezii with parents of Dahlias discovered earlier and these are the progenitors of all modern Dahlia hybrids. Ever since, plant breeders have been actively breeding Dahlias to produce thousands of cultivars, usually chosen for their stunning and brightly coloured flowers. Dahlia plants range in height from as low as 12" (30cm) to as tall as 6-8 feet (180-240cm). The flowers can be as small as 2" (5 cm) or up to a foot (30 cm) in diameter. The great variety results from Dahlias being octoploids (they have eight sets of homologous chromosomes, whereas most plants have only two).





Dahlias are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Angle Shades, Common Swift, Ghost Moth and Large Yellow Underwing.





The dahlia is named after Swedish 18th-century botanist Anders Dahl.

Was the "Black Dahlia" movie based on fact or fiction ?

The Black Dahila was the nick name given to a woman that was killed in L.A , her real name was Elizabeth Short. The movie is supossedly based on her murder, even though it barely touched on it. The only real thing in that movie was the fact that she was murdered, and because Elizabeth was an up and coming actress that was very pretty, and she had done some risque' things in her past...... they dubbed her " The Black Dahlia" after a movie that she loved called " The Blue Dahlia" (Elizabeth had a penchant for wearing black...hence the black part came in)





The movie is a travesty..... and an injustice to this poor woman that was actually murdered so horrifically.....





I think the movie spent maybe 15 minutes dealing with her murder, and the rest of the time it was this fictional, crappy story...that had nothing to do with Elizabeth Short.

Who seen Black Dahlia and Gridiron Gang???

Who thought they were good???? They both were good to me.

Who seen Black Dahlia and Gridiron Gang???
I thought the Gridiron Gang was great. And its not only about murderers rapists and thieves. These are kids who are in diff gangs who are trying to get back at each gang until they get to this juvenile facility not prison. Then they meet up with the rock, who is tired of seeing these kids and decides to start a football team. Those kids learned teamwork and Got a second chance. I thought It was great and will prob buy it when it comes out. The movie was also the best seller this weekend raking in estimated 15 million dollars.

Reply:I saw GG and it was really good. As always the Rock is a good actor for true films.
Reply:I plan on seeing Black Dahlia this week. I'm disappointed that the movie was based on James Ellroy's version of the story. I would have much rather seen John Gilmore's 'Severed' chosen as the basis for the movie--it's based on fact without the fictionalization of the characters.
Reply:Black Dahlia was horrendously bad. I actually want my money back, it was that bad to me.


I wish I had gone to see Gridiron Gang.
Reply:I refuse to see Gridiron Gang, mainly because it is about a bunch of PRISONERS(rapist, thieves, murderers, etc.) Being sentenced to prison for their crimes. But guess what, they will not be doing any hard time, or be punished, tehy get to play fottball, weeee! prison is fun, i think i will start breaking the law, so I can get sentenced to a 5 star hotel, with fun games
Reply:Haven't seen either but read on the net that Gridiron Gang is doing well and Black Dahlia is bombing. I don't have a problem learning from others experiences.

In The Black Dahlia movie was that the real Elizabeth Short shown in the movie clips watched by the detectives

No, an imposter..

In The Black Dahlia movie was that the real Elizabeth Short shown in the movie clips watched by the detectives
No, that was an actress. The story of Elizabeth Short shown in the movie (and based on James Ellroy's fantastice novel) was fictional. The real Elizabeth Short's life bared very little resemblance to the life of her in the film.

Has the Black Dahlia murder been solved?

No it has not been solved. About 60 people falsely confessed to the murder, but they were just that...false. To this day the murder remains unsolved. The real killer of "The Black Dahlia" (Elizabeth Short) is presumed to be long dead since the murder occured in 1947.

Has the Black Dahlia murder been solved?
No.
Reply:Unfortunately the Black Dahlia murder has not yet been solved. I believe they have it pinned down to a few suspects who might have done it but there are lacking indisputable proof. It is going to be very hard to solve since probably all the main characters are dead.
Reply:This mystery has never been solved.


The Black Dahlia?

I recently saw this movie (the one with Josh Hartnett and Scarlet Johansen) and I have to say it pretty much sucked. How is it that the actual murder, the murder for which the movie is named, is only a sub plot? It's baffling. I don't care about the slow "action" happening with Hartnett's character, his partner, and Hilary Swank. Let's try to solve a murder, people! Very frustrating...


Anyway, my question is, according to this movie, why was she killed? I missed the explanation/confession and I hope someone can explain everything to me. I already know who, I just want to know why.

The Black Dahlia?
i was too busy paying attention to how hot josh is so never paid attention
Reply:I have it at home, but I haven't watched it yet. Guess I need to.
Reply:I found the movie hard to follow too. It was nowhere as good as the adaptation of LA Confidential.





From memory, it was a sex murder (from the book). However, it was secondary to the story of the two detectives. Apparently, the murder was based on a real incident. It was never solved, and neither was the murder of James Ellroy (the author)'s mother in somewhat similar circumstances.


Could Black Dahlia be the dumbest movie in recent times?

If not, please give me the name of a worse movie that takes itself so seriously. Also, does this movie ever end? I'm pretty sure I've been watching this since 1999

The Black Dahlia?

Who else thought that this movie was a disappointment?

The Black Dahlia?
1. Huge budget. Brian DePalma. Time for him to retire.





2. Wrong script writer: James Ellroy wrote pure fiction. Had nothing to do with who Beth really was. It was apparent that Ellroy writes fiction so he doesn't have to work too hard doing any serious research.





3. James Gilmore, who wrote Severed, should have been consulted on the script. He has quoted conversations with people all the way back to Beth's childhood 'til the last day she was seen. The things people said about her were very consistent. I got a very good picture of who she was and how she operated to survive. The lesbian stuff was the presses spin.





4. This could've been a great movie about Beth, but instead it was about something contrived by Ellroy.





5. Hopefully, someone will do this movie justice within our lifetime. It's a worthy subject, and Beth was certainly enigmatic and charasmatic. I hope Gilmore lives long enough for someone with brains, budget %26amp; a good casting director to hire him to write the script.
Reply:I did. I was thinking it would focus more on the murder, but instead it was used as a backdrop. Josh sure does have a nice azz, though. That got me through the rest of it.
Reply:Yes, it was lame.
Reply:I was really disappointed. I wanted to know more about the actual crime, thinking the movie would a True Crime sort. Not so. It was based on the book, which used the murder as a backdrop, not as a focus.





The murder was never solved. Although there have been a lot of rumors going around ever since the movie came out.





I also could have done without some of the graphic violence shown. There were about 4 scenes that could have been cut and wouldn't have changed anything about the movie, except perhaps make it a bit better.





Anyway, hope that helps.

Reply:my family went to go see it and said it was a sleeper, i heard in the reviews that it was horrible, the film industry thinks they can make a crappy movie with a bunch of name brand stars and the American public will ALL go see it, there not getting my money this time! go see Invincible with Mark Wahlburg it was terrific!!!
Reply:i thought it was good. everybody has a different taste in movies. i LOVE LOVE LOVE murder mysteries. but i agree with the other guy that the movie really didnt focus on the murder and just used it as a backdrop. other than that i like it.

Who is this movie about, and what happened???


Sounds pretty gross!

The Black Dahlia?
It is an unsolved murder mystery from LA in 1947.

http://www.usc.edu/isd/archives/la/scand...





Be very careful about clicking on links if you are looking to find out more information. There are some very horrific pictures out there.
Reply:The movie concerns an unsolved murder case back several decades ago. An aspiring actress was brutally murdered and had her body severed in a beautiful house. No one ever found out who or why they killed her. This movie is based on a true story.





And the house that the woman was actually killed (in reality) is the house they used to film America's Next Top Model cycle 6! Creepy!
Reply:Elizabeth Short, better known as the Black Dahlia, was the victim of an infamous murder in 1947. She was born July 29, 1924 and died January 15, 1947.





Short was last seen alive on the evening of January 9, 1947, in the lobby of the Biltmore Hotel at 5th Street and Olive in downtown Los Angeles. She was 22 years old.





On January 15, 1947, her body was discovered in a vacant lot of the 3800 block of South Norton Avenue in the Leimert Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, cut in half at the waist and mutilated. She was interred in Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland rather than Medford because her oldest sister lived in Berkeley and because she loved California.





This unsolved murder has been viewed as emblematic of the perception of Los Angeles as a dystopia.





According to newspaper reports shortly after the murder, Short received the nickname Black Dahlia at a Long Beach drugstore in the summer of 1946, as a play on the then-current movie The Blue Dahlia, starring Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake. Los Angeles County district attorney investigators' reports state the nickname was invented by newspaper reporters covering the murder. In either case, Short was not generally known as the "Black Dahlia" in life.





The Black Dahlia murder investigation by the LAPD was the largest since the murder of Marian Parker in 1927, and involved hundreds of officers borrowed from other law enforcement agencies. Because of the complexity of the case, the original investigators treated every person who knew Elizabeth Short as a suspect who had to be eliminated. Hundreds of people were considered suspects and thousands were interviewed by police. Sensational and sometimes inaccurate press coverage, as well as the horrible nature of the crime, focused intense public attention on the case. About 60 people confessed to the murder, mostly men, as well as a few women. As the case continues to command public attention, many people are suggested as the possible killer of Elizabeth Short, much like the Jack the Ripper case.

"The Black Dahlia", Has Anyone Seen It Yet?

Just wondering if it was as good as it looks. Please let me know what your insight is on this movie. Thanx in advance.

"The Black Dahlia", Has Anyone Seen It Yet?
I was very exited to see what looked like an exciting suspenseful movie. I was disgusted with what the movie was actually about. If you want to see a movie about corrupt cops in LA, this is the movie for you. If you want to see a movie about the murder, and investigation of The Black Dahlia, don't bother wasting your time and money on a movie that only focuses on the dahlia for about half an hour. It was truly the most disappointing movie I've seen in ages.

Gardenia or Dahlia?

Which flower do you favor and why?

Gardenia or Dahlia?
Dahlia is one of my collections of many flowers. I love the diversity of flower types and colors. I have 30 plus right now all around my flowerbeds. There is truth to upkeep but I don't dig mine. I leave them in the ground over the winter. Water and a good time released food source. And removing the old dead blooms (dead heading) will give you months of bloom and flower arrangements on your table. I love to watch the bees and humming bird gather around them. They bloom right into a hard freeze, as long as I keep them dead headed. Beautiful fall color is a great plus. We have a dahlia grower not far from us so we can go through the field and enjoy what God created for us. If considering purchasing them look for local growers so you know they will grow in your area.
Reply:My favorite has always been a Gardenia..always


When I was young my best friend's Mother had a huge Gardenia bush in her back yard and when they bloomed she would pick a big bowl of them and put them on her kitchen table....ah... they made the whole house smell sweet!


Later in life I always had at least one bush in my yard and would pick the blooms and place them around my house. I especially liked a vase of them on my night stand...I could smell that sweet fragrance all night long!


Now I have three bushes along my driveway and pick them whenever possible.......I love that fragrance!


For a while I wore a perfume called Gardenia Jungle, but have had a hard time finding it as of late. If I ever do find it, rest assured that is what I will be wearing.
Reply:Gardenias for their smell - beautiful aroma!
Reply:dahlias. because they are more interesting , and while the gardenia has beautiful fragrance , it lacks a bit compared to the varieties and shapes of dahlias . but also true is more upkeep is required for dahlias , such as staking them from strong winds . but the upside is because varieties are tubers and can be split , as well as collecting the seeds and propagating ; probably makes them more interesting and challenging if you have the time i guess .
Reply:Gardenias because of their wonderful smell.

The Black Dahlia- did anyone see it and can explain some things to me?

Ok- Long movie- don't really have any feelings about it but I didn't understand why she murder the girl. Did I miss a line? Or was there no reason? I was also confused because I don't think the rich girl and the murder victum even looked alike.... so I didn't get why the mother did it? Just to hack someone up for fun?


Thanks!! I don't feel like rewatching it! And my husband kept talking through the movie so I may have missed something.

The Black Dahlia- did anyone see it and can explain some things to me?
She was a crazy B!

The Black Dahlia?

What did you think of the stylization?

The Black Dahlia?
It was styled quite well after the old gumshoe style flicks, and was an overall great movie
Reply:I liked it its new but the ending....well...not so much.
Reply:The Black Dahlia, Hollywoodland and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow both are retro 40s era styled films that are catching hot w/ box office audiences. Prepare to see more of this movie trend real soon.....and it's one I welcome.
Reply:well its a classy look with a bit of noir style, black and white styling and transitions which were used in 30s and 40s, the whole movie i mean the look is set in 30s, the story is based in that period


How did dahlia get its name???

It was named after a Swedish 18th century botanist named Anders Dahl.

How did dahlia get its name???
The flower, the shop? What are you referring to?
Reply:from the parents !
Reply:the black dahlia, aka Elizabeth Short, was so named because she always wore black and the movie Blue Dahlia was very poplular at the time she was alive and consequently murdered.
Reply:her mamma?

The Black Dahlia?

Elizabeth Short was said to have had some sort of reproductive misformation or something along those lines. Does anyone know what it was or may have been?

The Black Dahlia?
lotsa details here.

Reply:I've heard that she had an abnormally shallow vagina which made actual penetration impossible.


Curiously, one of the theories as to why she was killed is that she picked up a john who wasn't satisfied by oral alone and flipped out in a homicidal rage when he realised she was physically incapable of intercourse.


I don't really buy that theory, myself.
Reply:Widely circulated myth holds that Short was unable to have sexual intercourse because of some genetic defect that left her with "infantile genitalia." Los Angeles County district attorney's files states the investigators had questioned three men with whom Short had sexual intercourse[4], including a Chicago police officer who was a suspect in the case[5]. The FBI files on the case also contain a statement from a man with whom Short had sexual intercourse. According to the LAPD summary of the case, in the district attorney's files, the autopsy describes Short's reproductive organs as anatomically normal. The autopsy also states that Short was not and had never been pregnant, contrary to what is sometimes claimed.
Reply:I read somewhere that said her...uhh...reproductive system/organs were underdeveloped so she was unable to reproduce.


Will annual dahlia tubers over winter to be planted in spring?

Here in PA we are supposed to dig up our dahlia tubers because they will not over winter. However, I got lazy last fall and left them in. I did get fortunate because we had an extremely mild winter and my dahlia's came up this spring.

Will annual dahlia tubers over winter to be planted in spring?
If you live in a climate that does not freeze in winter, they will probably survive. Where it's cold (in the North), they will die. You should dig them up and replant in the Spring, but an even easier way to propagate dahlias is to let the flowers go to seed in the fall, pick the heads, let them dry thoroughly. Then in the Spring you will have dozens of flowers from one seed head, whereas from a tuber, you get one flower next year. We stopped saving tubers years ago and now we have hundreds of beautiful dahlias each season.... free!
Reply:It depends upon where you live. In some parts of the country, dahlias can be overwintered in the soil; other areas require them to be dug up and stored until the following year. Annual means once per year though. The life cycle is only good for one year. You are getting some terms mixed up.
Reply:Hi steveoboguen





The big question is where are you from? Dahlias are hardy in Zone 7b but further north they should be dug up %26amp; stored in a cool, dry location. If I were you I would take a peek at a gardening zone map to figure where your location rates. I unfortunately, will be digging my tubers up tomorrow.
Reply:I have found that I lose some to rot if they overwinter in wet heavy soil. I take mine up even though I am in USDA zone 9.
Reply:It depends on where you live. Here in Michigan we dig our dahlia bulbs as they will not overwinter.

The black dahlia?

Can someone tell me a couple things to be aware about, i heard from someone there were alot of sex scenes is there, becuase i don't want to go to a movie where theres that kind of stuff.

The black dahlia?
it was a terrible movie, don't waste your time or money on it. the 1940's thing was done really bad, cheesy almost. the story is also bad, sometimes hard to follow. it's suppose to be based on a true story but the only thing real that happened is the murder, the story/mystery around it, is all made up. the acting was good, but even the greatest of actors can't make a bad movie good.
Reply:It is true what the people have told you. And the movie is mostly off the subject of Elizabeth Short herself. There's not even an answer to who murdered her. I rate this movie


* out of *****


Hope you really found this helpful
Reply:Do you mean the current movie?, I would say there is some, since that was part of the mystery surrounding the real Black Dahlia.


Is black dahlia any good?i usually watch comedy or romcoms?

Haven't seen it but the previews look interesting, i will definitely be watching it sometime this weekend.....

Is black dahlia any good?i usually watch comedy or romcoms?
Considering it's Brian De Palma one of Americana's last auteurs, and that he likes to masquerade his films, and play with his audience, I don't know. He definately doesn't make romantic comedies. And from what I gather his latest is inspired by some German experessionism. Anyway, if you are expecting a conventional myster/noir, you won't get one.
Reply:Apparently it's nice to look at, but not a good noir film.
Reply:couldnt tell you i haven seen it. but reviews are not to bad.


The Black Dahlia?

Is the movie like the actual murder mystery? It is such a fascinating mystery... don't you think? I have been doing research on it forever!





=P

The Black Dahlia?
The movie is VERY loosely based on the murder, but it is a really, really bad movie. It is poorly written, directed, acted and shot. It makes no sense, and hardly has anything to do with the actual murder. Don't waste your time. You'd be better off reading books about it or something...
Reply:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387877/





Hope this helps your research


The Black Dahlia??

Did that really happen, or is that based (loosely) on a true story? I heard the add and kinda got freaked out thinking about it? does anyone know the stats on this movie, whats true and whats hollywood-ized...?





Also has anyone seen hollywoodland? whats your rating?

The Black Dahlia??
the movie is based on the story of Elizabeth Short, (she was called the black dahlia because the movie 'blue dahlia was popular at the time and elizabeth, who was beautiful, always wore black) who was slaughtered in the 40's by an unknown assailant--who still hasn't been caught. She was cut in half and her mouth slashed from ear to ear. You can read about her totally indepth here:

Reply:I know its based on a true story. I saw the cocumentary on HBO or court tv last year. She was killed in a residental area. Cut up or something. If I find somemore info I will post it.
Reply:Yes, really happened. It happened in Calf,in the 30's.

oh and yes it was a murder back in the day. i guess you should watch the movie cuz i don't know the details. all i heard about it was that the woman who was murdered( she called herself the black dahlia) had her mouth slit ear to ear.


i believe (i'm 100% sure) that this is were the band got there name from. in closed casket requiem, the lyrics to the chorus reference the murder ("And in my dreams i slit your mouth from ear to ear") whether they knew that they did this or not i have no idea.

The black dahlia movie?

is scarlett johansen or whatever sosputa be elizabeth short ?


%26amp; whats it about ?

The black dahlia movie?
I saw something about it on TMC. Happened in the 30's in Hollywood. True story. She was trying to get noticed in Hollywood to become famous and had moved there from another state. Someone killed her but were never caught. I would like to see the movie about it.


The black dahlia murder case why did the guy kill elizabeth shorts ?

No one really seems to know why!














Comment to M.B....Ever heard of the "Torso Murders" that took place in Cleveland, Ohio, many years ago? They took place in the late 40's (?) %26amp; Elliot Ness was called in on the case. Many people were murdered %26amp; bodies were dumped in one area. Theory was, that a surgeon did it because of the way the bodies were found. The case was as famous as the Black Dahlia case.





***Thank you so much for your reply, M.B. Now that you mentioned it, I do remember hearing about the postcards the murderer sent to Ness...taunting him. My son is a homicide detective %26amp; he is interested in reading about the Torso Murders, even though they took place long before he was born. My son has a pile of unsolved cases on his desk that really bother him but maybe in time the pile will get shorter.***





Thanks for your input!!! I appreciate it!

The black dahlia murder case why did the guy kill elizabeth shorts ?
no one knows, some experts think it was art
Reply:The case was never solved, and is still open.
Reply:We'll probably never know, because they have never found the killer. I have read "The Black Dahlia Avenger" and "Daddy Was The Black Dahlia Killer", both authors claim to know the identity of the killer, in "Daddy.." it was because he was just a raging psycho serial killer, in "Avenger" it was to cover up an affair..but the truth is, we'll probably never know...








To Shortstuff: I have heard of the Torso Murders,the were never solved, and that haunted Ness until the day he died- the killer even sent Ness postcards, taunting him for not solving the crime.

How did dahlia?

what? how do dahlia what......?........

How did dahlia?
thats how
Reply:be more specific.
Reply:If your talking about the Black Dahlia, its thought that a surgeon living in the neighborhood where her corpse was found actually killed her and dumped her body there as a warning to his wife. This way she would get the idea that "the neighborhood and thus she herself wasn't safe" and should do better, plus the fact that he would get off over seeing the body "found."





There are a couple of good books on the murder.
