I have to agree with PG. Spector, and what he did, is a milestone in the history of our generation, thus history itself. It shoudn't be a footnote to a murderer or a producer either. A bit off-topic, forgive me, I feel we should feel the same about Facebook and "The Social Network"; whether you like it or not, it's valid social science.

I'm sure everyone involved will win awards, if for no other reason than their only competition are those Lifetime movies about evil men and empowered women. But just because the murderer has enough eccentricities that Pacino can embellish upon them is not reason enough to tell the guy's story. I am going to disagree with Kevin here - not that every story needs to be told, but that this is one story that deserves to be told. I doubt they will glorify or apologize for Spector, but his is one interesting and potentially enlightening story to tell. He was a major producer of US pop culture in the 1960s for good and for bad, and either always was or somehow became basically a monster. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
