Wow. That is a very interesting article/incident. I wonder how creeped out Val Kilmer is.

Imo, alot of movies glamourize killers and thieves, etc. They just got the real deal here, and will most likely stand out now, they probably think it's pretty funny

Good to know that mathematically 195 yrs in NM equates to around 2 yrs. Wonder what the 5 life sentences he's now serving equates to?!

I think the whole "I can't afford to do background checks" excuse Cordova gave is a copout, it wouldn't cost money in most states to find out if your hiring a convicted felon-we look them up daily here. Sheesh this is obnoxious. And the sad thing is-they are probably loving it bc lots of people will want to see the movie now. I think a portion of the proceeds should have to go to victims' families.
