    Eddie Tamblyn is father to Larry and Russ. Russ was "Riff" in West Side Story and "Gideon" in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. His daughter Amber is an actress, was Emily Quartermaine in the soap General Hospital. Acting runs in the family obviously.

      I’m surprised the younger generation has the attention span for anything longer than 15 minutes. They have the focus in the attention span of a gnat. Write anything longer than 160 characters, and they glaze over and can’t follow along. We can write all kinds of things about them, we just have to write a bunch of gibberish for 160 characters, and then we can get real, haha.

      The police should most certainly have something to say about the strong student pulling up a dead corpse, putting him inside where the body is in a different environment and actually having the full rope removed from around his neck which could have all been used intact to have the investigating medical examiner do his/her job… stupid and criminal- the first and for to be primary suspect… the man twisting and turning the rope in his hands and looking down as he moves away! He has fibers of rope all over him. The thick rope could be used as a coverup to allow for the idea he killed himself… where was this rope before? Was it in a storage room?

      Ahhhh, the tiresome fight scenes. Boring. If you’re a real man or woman, you end it quickly. Most fights are over in seconds. I’ve long since quit going to modern movies, I don’t like the garbage they put out. I don’t need any predictive programming, or any other kind of programming. I am well aware of the agenda, after all it’s been published, i already know my responses and actions years ahead of time. It’s astounding what people voluntarily put in their heads. They allow the media to mentally and spiritually vomit all over them, while they swallowed up and try to turn around and regurgitated back up all over anyone who will listen. And then they complain about their stress, and I just unhappy in general. Here’s an idea, they could stop letting the media puke on them every day. There are proactive things that can be done, you don’t need to know about every fire being sent to know how to put out fires.
      I will choose more wisely what I put into my head and spirit, but the last time I saw any movie from this century (which was many years ago, I can’t actually remember the last one), they had mastered the tiresome, tedious fight scene to an all time low of boring.

    Based on a book titled 'The Dartmouth Murders' I can only hope it is more clearly written than the script for this mishmash film. The dialogue and actions of finding the hanging student at the beginning of the film is absolutely appalling. Script writer and director both at horrible fault here. A very good sieve could be made of the holes in the plot. So did I enjoy this movie? well I kind of did. Partly due to the fact the actors were, for the most part, better than flaws in the film. Charles Starrett does a credible job. So far the best movie I've seen him in is 'The Mask of Fu Manchu', 1932 with a superb evil performance by Myrna Loy.
    Lots of cliché in 'A Shot in the Dark', I'd count them but I, er, am ah, can't count that high.
