LOL! Other people keep telling me that. I'm too old to start a new career. :)) I think you're absolutely right. All the parole board has to do, if they haven't already, is listen to the taped phone conversation between Diane and Robert Knickerbocker, the married guy she was obsessed with who didn't want kids. In 45 minutes she rants on & on about the legal system and how she's being screwed and how her kids are lying about her being the one who shot them, and how she'll prove in court that her kids are lying and she needs to protect other victims like her from being screwed by the legal system. Not once does she seem concerned or worried about her kids' health or recovery. Remember, her 3 year old son is paralyzed, her 9 year old daughter had a stroke, both almost died, and the other daughter did die. Never mentions any of that, not once, no concern or sadness or grief or how horrible it was that they were shot. In fact she actually says that both of them are absolutely fine! But there IS one thing she keeps repeating throughout the entire conversation, over and over. She keeps telling him, "I'll never get my kids back. They'll never let me have my kids again." She's trying to convince him that now he can be with her. It's unbelievable to hear it. I'm sure the parole officers have. She's not going anywhere. It could easily be called a dark comedy, I think. Amen! But considering how skilled a director Todd Haynes is, I have a feeling he did that on purpose to increase the creep-out factor. And your comment is a veiled hate letter against it. Exactly. As a Jewish girl who grew up in NYC with Bernstein on TV every week if not more, the makeup was unbelievably perfect and accurate - it made you forget you were watching an actor. I have a suspicion that many of the people making an issue about the nose are anti-Semitic and trying to hide it Most likely a gift or sign of respect from Bradley Cooper, who would have the last word on credits. You don't seem to understand the times and the way it was for gay or bisexual people in that era. Being gay was such a taboo that people didn't talk about it or were programmed to think they would grow out of it. There also was no indication that she was aware of his affairs with men when they got married. They do look alike and have similar intensity View all replies >
