You can tell that Universal Technical Institute doesn't have any females affiliated with it, otherwise they'd have chosen a better set of initials.

Oh, one of my favourite episodes of Cops is on... a police officer goes to the wrong house during a house fire and kicks the door open of the neighbor.
"How do we write this one up?"
"You're the supervisor, you tell me."

So, James Ellroy, Brian DePalma, and now Aaron Eckhart. The Black Dahlia keeps looking better and better.
The more I hear about this thing, the happier I get.
Not counting the subject matter.
Somewhere I've got a copy of Hollywood Babylon, and that was where I heard about the case originally. (Hmph. Checking Wiki and it turns out it was HB ii where I first heard it. Well, it's been twenty years since I read HB ii, probably fifteen years since I read HB, so I can defend fuzzy memories.)

Interesting- An reporter from the LA Times discussed the BD case with John Douglas. This is a little rough on the eyes because of the formatting- '' =?? throughout the page, a common occurance when a document is copied from one format to another. Click the link, you'll see what I mean.

My heart goes out to John Ramsey, losing his daughter, then his wife, and now all the stuff that's going on. But a ugly part of me hopes this case never gets solved. On one hand there's a mystique of such a case staying unsolved. On the other hand it's sort of the starting point of the Prettty Blonde Tragedies. There are unsolved cases out there that never get the attention this case got because of race and class.
Stuff like this makes me cynical.

Hollywood Babylon! Fatty Arbuckle (as he drops a bottle): "There goes the evidence..." but you know, I never thought he did it. I believe that what killed Virginia Rappe was a combination of pre-existing medical issues and that Arbuckle was set up as part of an extortion plot that went horribly wrong.
