All this mess could have been avoided!!!


1. They should have brought Cooper in from the beginning. Even though he was not a major character.

2. They should have killed Orry off in the second movie just like in the book to avoid all this mess about Bent and Ashton together in the third movie.

Yeah, the beginning scene of the third movie showing Bent and Ashton going to ask Orry for money -- even though this is a front and Bent is planning to kill Orry, the idea of asking him for money was soooo stupid!! Orry would probably have shot Bent on sight if he'd seen him, he'd never have given him or Ashton money. But Ashton was so stupid she really thought he would.

At least in the novels, Bent was so obese and disgusting that Ashton would never have gone near him.

Damn straight. What WAS she thinking, asking Bent to bargain money out of Orry. She couldn't have been serious! I honestly believe, that after she ran Madeline off from Mont Royal, if she pushed Orry's buttons too hard, he would have killed her with his bare hands, sister or not!
