Making a Killing

…with “other things being equal, simpler explanations are generally better than more complex ones.” — Occam’s Razor Read the above statement on Occam’s Razor. This post is about the “docuseries” Making a Murderer, the Netflix “docuseries” that has a second season coming. This post is not about whether Steven Avery is guilty or innocent. It is not about whether there are injustices in our legal system. We know there are. This piece is about the cynicism behind making a piece of entertainment disguised as social crusading. I was inspired to write this after trying to make my point in a series of online tweets. There was backlash from people who made it about a social cause, and that I was ignoring the issues in our criminal justice system. My point was simple: Making a Murderer is not about the correction of our legal system or justice for a man wrongly accused. The series is about entertainment. Manipulation Set aside your

Beware The Slenderman Debuting At SXSW

It’s premiere season and so far the line up for SXSW is booming. One of the films premiering at SXSW is Irene Taylor Brodsky’s Beware the Slenderman, inspired by the popular legend. In the film, two twelve-year-old girls find an online Boogeyman and vow to kill for him. “The entrance to the internet quickly leads to its darkest basement. How responsible are our children for what they find there?” Very little else is known about the film at this time. The image below has surfaced and is reportedly connected to the film. Most of you will recognize the legend of The Slender Man. He is unnaturally tall and slender. The pale-man also has a featureless face. Slender Man is often described as having the power to manipulate people into killing for him. Real murders have been carried out in his name, but he was actually created online in 2009 on the “Something Awful” forum.

Friday the 13th Gets Lucky

A Few Words From Our Ms. Palmer “What a piece of shit! No one’s gonna see this crap!” — Actress Betsy Palmer aka Pamela Vorhees The late, esteemed critic, Roger Ebert, coined the phrase “Dead Teenager Movie” and I have stated several times that Jaws 2 arguably gets technical credit as the first one. While teenagers in peril was a long standing theme and used over and over again, it’s the sequel to Spielberg’s game changing shark movie that lined them up one after another for the monster to pick off. Jaws 2 gave the designer sheen to killing off teens. It wasn’t a grainy “B Movie” that played part of a double bill at the drive in. This was wide screen Panavision and a 50 million budget. While there was no nudity, the underlying “have sex and die” motif was there with a killer in the form a pissed off female Great White Shark. The original 1978 Halloween fine
