      speaking of mistakes in movies....

          how about in the opening scene of "Psycho II" when
Lila Loomis (Vera Miles) is ranting at the judge in the
courtroom about the decision to okay Norman Bates' release
from the institution???

          She mentions the relatives of "the seven people
he murdered"....quack?

          1. Mom
          2. Mom's lover
          3. the first missing girl mentioned near the end
of the film
          4. the second missing girl mentioned near the end
of the film
          5. Marion Crane (Janet Leigh, in the shower of course) 
          6. the private eye Arbogast (Martin Balsam)


          Maybe I can't count, but that looks like SIX people
to me. Aren't I right??!
          If so, I think someone deserves an all-expenses paid
trip to a certain motel for this...8-)
          I mean, really!!

          By-the-by, while we're on the subject...does anybody
out there have any info on the sequel (III) that's supposed
to be in the works?? The idea is making me *very* nervous...
Poor Norman.

"I mean, with the price of meat what it is..."  The only thing
                
which might redeem "Psycho III" would be to have Angela Lansbury
drop by... Mrs. Lovett likes younger men, and she'd be the perfect
pal for Norman...mother figure, paramour and business partner all
rolled into one!!  8-)
