Re: [scifinoir2] Who is Clark Rockefeller?
Yea, after watching the movie I kind of wished that I had waited before I posted. The movie wasn't that good and the acting by the main character of Clark Rockefeller by Eric McCormack was laughable. Also the way they told the story was just bad. The story begged to have more of it move through a flashback to the present. Instead of so much of it revealed at one time. It totally took away any suspense. The interesting thing was it was loosely based on a true story. How can you mess up such an excellent real story?

Re: [scifinoir2] Who is Clark Rockefeller?
No, no shame in posting it whatsoever, Mr Worf. There may be those who enjoyed it. Just for me, I pretty much knew that I wouldn't watch all of it, though I had intended to peek at a few minutes of it, for conversation's sake. Last night, "Glory" came up unexpectedly, and I felt compelled to watch the movie, for Morgan Freeman's performance.

Re: [scifinoir2] Who is Clark Rockefeller?
It was pretty good, a departure for the guy who's been labeled as one of the gay guys from "Will and Grace". What I like is the movie's pretty recent: he's still in jail, and his ex-wife is still trying to get him legally barred from ever having any contact with their daughter again. And, the case of that murdered couple is still being investigated. Scary. And as crazy as it sounds that such people exist and can tell such blatant lies, all too true. My wife and I used to know a guy just like that. He told all these stories about all the things he'd done in the past: two tours in Nam, being a law enforcement guy who busted drug dealers, etc. But no one ever met any of his family--ever--to confirm any of his stories. The old "everyone's dead, and the rest I just don't want to talk to" excuse. He was able to get free rent at apartment complexes by telling the managers that he was a former veteran and law guy, and trade onsite security for a free apartment. Dude was a consummate con: he claimed he was trying to find the right church, and thus, tried on about half a dozen different faiths before becoming a Seventh Day Adventist. What we later discovered was that he was trying to find a church where he could manipulate the people and find a mate. He married a lady from that church who was an ardent Adventist, then used her beliefs to control her. For example, Adventists typically honor the Sabbath: staying home, not watching TV, etc. Well, this guy was always having to deal with "emergencies" at night and on the Sabbath. You'd have thought our complex was a hangout of the mob! What he was doing was simply taking nighttime "visits", using the security problem as a threat, and being confident his fearful, obedient wife would stay in the house when he was out doing his thing. Guy had a newborn son who he claimed was by a woman who was dangerously unstable, and thus, he had to protect the boy from her. He said the mother was so crazy she'd try to kidnap the child, and even, try to hurt his wife. This was another excuse for him to tell his wife to stay inside all day while he was working, as he couldn't be there to protect her should the crazed mother appear. And this she did. Dude had a wealth of skills: cooking, doing hair, sewing, automobile repair, martial arts, etc.. He become a leader in the church, started teaching Bible classes at home, and got a lot of us to attend. In time, the stories became too strange to ignore. Started telling tales that got really bizarre. Actually told me one night that he created Amazing Fantasy #15--which was a big mistake! We couldn't understand why *not one* person from his past ever showed up, and of course, the way he literally kept his wife sequestered was a red flag. When he started talking about moving his family to a small Alabama town, buying a farm, and maybe get all of us to join them, that was it. Dude noticed all of us friends of his were starting to doubt, and withing a few weeks he and the family was just gone like the wind. - Original Message - From: "Mr. Worf" To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 15, 2010 2:46:15 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] Who is Clark Rockefeller?

Re: [scifinoir2] Who is Clark Rockefeller?
I think the real life story telling of CNBC's American Greed and some of the other true crime shows did a much better job of telling the story than what they did for this movie. They just didn't do the story any justice. There's a lot of conmen out there especially when religion and the money that it brings in is involved.

Re: [scifinoir2] Who is Clark Rockefeller?
Yeah, it was weird in time. One time he came home in the middle of the day, and was visibly surprised and upset because my wife was over at his place talking to his wife. My wife is very wise, and it was obvious he didn't want her around his wife when he wasn't around, lest she start opening his wife's eyes. Not that she was even trying to undermine him, but just being the kind of person she is, he worried about the influence she'd have on a woman who literally no longer left the house without her husband at her side. - Original Message - From: "Martin Baxter" To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 9:54:13 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Who is Clark Rockefeller?
