I am vindicated. At a much later date.

I would certainly rank it among the greats...Jack was outstanding and the movie hit some interesting points concerning human behavior and views...the only complaint I have is the depiction of ECT and lobotomies. ECT is a valuable treatment tool in the battle against severe and chronic depression and the application is humane, the patient given muscle relaxers and anesthetic so there are no violent convulsions and/or injury. Lobotomies are banned in the US but when they were used produced a flat affect but didn't reduce patients to zombies...they were often performed outpatient in a doctors office.

I think I had Dannie wiggling again.


She must have had to leave for a bit.

I think she jumped in her freezer.

She probably is now calling 911.
