[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 161682, member: 8"] "There could be no true karma or comeuppance for Bundy" Sometimes I ponder about death penalty (it's something I like to do on a sunny day) and eventhough it's the most extreme punishment, there's something about it that doesn't sit well with me. Killing a serial killer like Ted Bundy feels like shooting a rabid dog, the "life" in this person is already gone (assuming it was there in the first place). It makes the world a safer place, especially for the victims or their relatives, but there's something just so unsatisfactory about it. And at the same time I don't think it should feel highly satisfactory. It's not how I want or can feel about death. It's fun to see a movie villain screaming in agony and defeat when he falls into a vulcano, but that's not really the same, is it. I would use these people for tests (medicine) or look for healthy organs. That way they could contribute to the health or even survival of other people. Make the best of a horrible situation. But anyway...I don't know how good or bad this movie is, but I do know that Ted Bundy is not an interesting person. I love courtroom drama, and all the characters involved, but I don't need to know about Bundy's personal life. He's not a pop star and he doesn't deserve this kind of posthumous exposure. He's not the story, his victims are. [/QUOTE]
