Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack…. just when we thought we were out, they drag us back in for one more serial killer MANHUNTER’ing by dispatching “usually on the phone with his feet on his desk” Mustache double N Man Miami Vice Style guy to our beach front baby turtle rescue preserve… to show us some gruesome photos of… **gasp** a happy family? Sorry guy… this doesn’t do it for me. You got any murder porn that I can totally forget about while taking a nap on a plane sitting next to a kid and her judgmental mom. Hey Lady, get your own kink. This one is mine… now tell your kid to stop hollering and enjoy the in-flight Crime Thriller movie from 1986 all about The Tooth Fairy. Oh no! Cover your eyes kid.  

Anywho, if this movie has taught me nothing, it’s that all you need in prison is a pack of Wrigley’s Chewing Gum and an old house phone with no numbers and you can phone phreak and social engineer your way to the home address of your profiling frenemies… so you can send them a thank you letter for dropping by with the murder files you can toss off to. Now pardon me while I go read my TP Fan mail before burning off the guilty bits. 

Randy, let’s go pet medically induced sleeping tigers who need dental work. NOT LIKE THAT! What are you blind?
