It had to have been 1982 or so. I HATED the chick that played Susan Atkins. Do you know why? Her F*CKING eyebrows! Yes, you are reading this correctly. Her eyebrows had like 3 inches of space between them. Also, I hated the chick that played Leslie Van Houten. She was such a smartass, that I wanted to jump inside the tv at my grandmother's house, and slap her. I was only 8 too! That is how much I hated this movie!

And that will probably remain the same unless another filmmaker with serious bucks and clout raises the bar with something groundbreaking (which I presume many of us would hope with deal with the subject with actual facts and integrity and less sensationalism).

But that was my introduction into the world of TLB. I find with actual Manson interviews, that the quality of them is highly dependent on how ignorant and/or confrontational the interviewer is. An idiot interviewer usually brings out "Crazy" Charlie and the more thoughtful ones can elicit a subdued an even an articulate Manson, almost normal to a degree. Charlie's performances always seem to correspond to his audience, directly and indirectly.mrgroovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107453950806107478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-36337420566047799662013-09-05T16:04:11.351-04:002013-09-05T16:04:11.351-04:00Although he's a great actor, railsback was Joh...Although he's a great actor, railsback was Johnny-one-note in HS.<br /><br />Anyone who's seen the Manson interviews can see there wasn't a shred of him in railsback's performance.<br /><br />Max Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06931165830559683001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-40484463704993839742013-09-05T14:47:53.499-04:002013-09-05T14:47:53.499-04:00That original HS movie with Steve Railsback scared...That original HS movie with Steve Railsback scared the hell out of me when I saw it at home in the late 70's on a Saturday afternoon. I was about 9 and had a TV in my bedroom and watched the entire movie alone, unsupervised by anyone. After in ended, I went and told my Dad what I just watched and his only reaction was "Steve Railsback did a good job playing Manson" which would have been the end of the story except for the post traumatic stress syndrome I developed from it which continues to this day... and which causes me to be here instead of working. mrgroovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107453950806107478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-62603801894405964362013-09-05T12:52:35.915-04:002013-09-05T12:52:35.915-04:00Alright Max Frost or anyone who pl
