‘Affluenza’ dad charged with impersonating Lakeside cop by carla noah stutsman The arrest of Frederick Anthony Couch by North Richland Hills police Aug. 19 hit close to home. Couch’s son, Ethan Couch, made national news in December 2013 when he was sentenced to 10 years’ probation for causing the deaths of four people in a drunk-driving crash in southern Tarrant County. Ethan’s defense attorney claimed the 16-year-old was a victim of “afReno Police Chief Hank Pope and a Department of Public Safety trooper discuss the scene of an ac- fluenza” because his wealthy parents cident on Jay Bird Lane Aug. 20.

Boy, 14, charged in ‘Bay arsons
by carla noah stutsman A 14-year-old boy has been arrested by Pelican Bay police and charged with arson. According to a press release from Pelican Bay Police Chief Jason Farris, his department has been investigating a series of four fires – all believed to have been intentionally set – that have occurred in Pelican Bay over the past three months. In each case, Farris said a vacant mobile home was burned, resulting in total losses. Farris said the young man was taken into custody at his home Aug. 21 and transferred to the Tarrant County Juvenile Detention Center in Fort Worth. More arrests in the same case are possible as the investigation continues, Farris said. The investigation has been a priority of the department given the fact that each act of arson was more aggressive than the last, Farris explained. Officers Stephen Combs, Jr. and
badge,” Craven said. “But it is illegal to identify yourself as a peace officer if you’re not one.” Fred Couch’s arrest stems from a disturbance that occurred July 28 about 1:15 a.m. in the 4400 block of Mackey Road in North Richland Hills. While investigating the disturbance, NRH officers spoke with Couch, who told them he was a reserve officer with the Lakeside Police Department. When NRH officers completed their investigation at the scene of the disturbance, they again contacted Couch. Couch reached into his vehicle and produced what he called his “police stuff” – a wallet displaying what appeared to be a police badge and identification card, suggesting he was a police officer. An NRH officer at the scene investigated whether Couch was actually licensed in Texas as a police officer and determined he was not and never has been. A warrant was written and signed by a judge for the charge of False Identification as a Police Officer: Misrepresentation of Property. Bond was set at $2,500. Couch posted bond and was released from jail soon after his arrest.
A Night of Prayers
Matthew Thomas developed information during the investigation that provided the evidence needed to file charges against the juvenile, according to the press release. “Normally arson is a tough crime to solve, especially since the fires were happening in the early morning hours, and the evidence is usually destroyed in the fire,” Farris said. “These officers worked long and hard to gather what they needed to get these charges filed. “These were vacant homes; however they were located in very close proximity to occupied homes. This juvenile not only placed these people in harm’s way, but firefighters, as well. “Officers Combs and Thomas worked relentlessly to make sure that this child will get the help he needs while also facing the consequences of his actions.” The Tarrant County Fire Marshal’s office assisted PBPD with the investigation.
Railroad Commission proposes rule changes by carla noah stutsman Almost 10 months after the first of more than 30 earthquakes shook the area around Reno, Azle, and Springtown, The Texas Railroad Commission (TRC) has proposed some changes to the rules that govern disposal well permits. While the TRC is reluctant to admit any link between disposal wells and earthquakes, a series of more than 30 tremblers in the Reno, Azle, and Springtown area from November 2013 to January 2014 caused public outcry to the contrary. Beginning Friday, Aug. 29, the TRC will accept public comment regarding the proposed rule changes, as well, via its website. Comments will be accept-
ed through Sept. 29. The proposed rule changes would require information from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) be included on applications for drilling permits, and that disposal well operators log and disclose daily injection volumes and pressures, in some cases. Currently, those operators are required to disclose those volumes and pressures only monthly. Additionally, the proposed rule changes would make it clear the TRC has authority to modify, suspend or even terminate a permit for a disposal well if the commission believes the well is causing earthquakes. If you’d like to comment on the proposed rule changes, point your brows-
About 100 friends, supporters, and family members gathered Saturday, Aug. 22 in Central Park for A Night of Love and Prayers for Brandi.

Pinnacle Bank Azle employees answered an Ice Bucket Challenge issued by their former co-worker Shadi Sutton in a big way Friday evening, Aug. 22. Sutton is now a retail banking officer for the Pinnacle Bank West 7th Street branch set to open in late September. Extending the challenge to all Texas branches of Pinnacle Bank as well as Ace of Azle, the feisty bankers dumped buckets filled with ice and water on their own heads – and also vowed to donate money to the ALS Association.

Finding the Heart of Azle by mark k. campbell Maybe you’ve seen the banners hung around Azle school facilities. The “Heart of Azle” motto concept came from Superintendent Dr. Ray Lea with the intent of focusing on customer service. Lea had been to other districts’ meetings and witnessed the emphasis on improving
customer service. Taxpaying citizens are not the only “customers” of the school district. A specially-created brochure – designed by Christina Hill, a student in AHS teacher Denise Darnell’s Business Information Management 2 class – highlights that “colleagues and students are customers too.” Regular citizens are consid-
ered external customers while students and AISD personnel are internal. Lea took the concept to district administrators who developed the theme: Heart of Azle. Heart is an acronym: H – Hear/listen to the customer E – Empathize or validate concern A – Apologize for the situation R – Respond and attempt to solve T – Track and follow up The acronym was created by Monica Miller, AISD director of finance. The unique logo was designed by graphic artist Katie Buckel, an AHS grad, and Sandra Corley of AKC Designs. The master plan is to expand the Heart of Azle concept into other facets of town: the city, the Chamber of Commerce, and Texas Health Harris Methodist Azle to “brand” the area. The hope is that Heart of Azle will expand throughout the community. A detailed brochure explains how district employees should handle walk-in concerns, telephone calls, and emails.

‘Meet the Hornets’ draws crowd by carla noah stutsman Families, friends and even The first-ever “Meet the Hor- teachers gathered to get a firstnets” night at the Azle High hand look at the 2014-2015 School gym Thursday, Aug. 21 Hornets. From football teams to Emerproved to be a big success.
ald Dazzlers and cross country runners and volleyball teams to trumpet players and Rowdies, the crowd was introduced to the various teams, groups, and individuals that will lead the charge during the school year. For the first time ever, the AHS cheerleading squad for 2014-2015 includes seven male cheerleaders. The addition of that extra muscle will no doubt allow the squad to compete at a higher level and perform more difficult stunts for Hornet fans. So many students applied to participate in the AHS Rowdies – a student cheer group – that tryouts had to be held for the available spots. The Emerald Dazzlers have a new director, Sidnee Denman, this year. The AHS Marching Green Pride, still high on its 13th place finish at state marching competition last year, returns
with a highly-anticipated show entitled The Greatest Show on Turf. And both the AHS Colorguard and Drumline are pumped as they each prepare for competition at Winter Guard International (WGI) Finals in Dayton, Ohio in the spring. WGI is considered the world championship for colorguards and drumlines. Azle’s drumline placed 17th in its first appearance there in 2012 and has high hopes of busting into the top ten; the AHS Colorguard is excited to be making its first trip to Worlds. Sports team coverage may be found in the appropriate section of this publication, and one thing is clear: They’ll all get tremendous support from the band, dancers, cheerleaders and Rowdies this year.
Azle High School’s sports teams will be supported by Hornet cheerleaders, the Emerald Dazzlers, the Rowdies, the Colorguard, and the Marching Green Pride. Photos by Carla Noah Stutsman

Letters to the Editor ‘Children have no voice’ I worked on the Rio Grande approximately ten years ago, mapping hydrilla (an invasive aquatic plant) that was impacting flows in the river. In the course of my work, I witnessed many people crossing the river, from large groups of women and children to one person crossing in a tube. I saw armed men in areas where some people were crossing, although we were left alone. During that time, I never saw a child alone crossing into the United States. Times have changed! Children have no voice. For several years, the United States has been embroiled in a battle about immigration. Our borders are not completely secure. Drugs and drug runners, criminals with violent tendencies have crossed our borders and endangered our country. Republicans accuse Democrats and the White House of not addressing the problem, and securing the border while Democrats and the president have pushed for immigration legislation that goes nowhere in Congress. In the last few years – although it has only been in the last months that the media has started focusing on the issue – children fleeing from violence in their home countries (mainly Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala) have been crossing our borders in the thousands. Many are alone. They have walked, ridden buses, or whatever means to escape the violence of their country and find a new life in the United States. They have fled from drugs, rape, gangs that have murdered family members and threatened their lives. Honduras has the highest murder rate in the world. They have come to the United States in search of freedom, peace, family, and survival. The United States Department of State says: “A refugee is someone who has fled from his or her country and cannot return because he or she has a well-founded fear of persecution based on religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group or because they are fleeing a war.” (http://www. state.gov/j/prm/ra) While some in the United States have welcomed them as refugees (which they are), most have consigned them to the general name of illegal immigrant, lumping them together with the true criminal element that does cross our border. They have refused to recognize that these children are true refugees. While I agree our borders need to be secure against the violent and the criminal that come to the United States to prey on our citizens, I think that for children – refuge children – we should remember, the ideals on which the United States was founded. We are a
country of immigrants and refugees. That is our strength, our pride, and our foundation. We fought a war, the Revolutionary War, to create our country, the United States of America,; many of our forebearers were also refugees. Remember the first words immigrants and refugees see when they enter New York Harbor written on the Statue of Liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, Tempest-tossed, to me; I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” I think that certainly fits children that just travelled hundreds of miles, some walking, fleeing from death and violence in their native country.

Reacting to Ferguson events Dear Editor, Regarding the events in Ferguson, Missouri: This past two weeks of rioting, looting, murder, and other mayhem resulting from the death of a black teenager, Michael Brown, by a white cop, Darren Wilson, doing his job shows our president and his administration doing what it does best – agitate and decompose a problem into a worse mess than what it started out as. Thanks to President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, and the on-scene law enforcement commander, Missouri State Trooper Captain Ron Johnson, Officer Wilson of the Ferguson PD has already been found guilty even before the investigation has been completed. AG Holder and Gov. Nixon are on record saying “this case of Officer
Wilson will receive swift prosecution. And Capt. Johnson is seen marching with the mob, holding the same banners excoriating his fellow officers, saying he “stands with the Brown family” and apologizes for the officer’s actions. To add insult to injury, we know that President Obama has sent a White House delegation to the Brown funeral. Keep in mind that Brown was recorded on video robbing a store and assaulting the store owner minutes before his death by Officer Wilson. When was the last time the president sent an honored delegation to a police officer’s funeral? Yeah, that’s what I thought, too! Joseph L. Bryan Fort Worth Editor’s Note: Mr. Bryan’s letter in the Aug. 20 News (“NFL ‘thugs’ don’t deserve fans’ praise”) contained an editing error that said the incident he was referring to took place during the Dallas-Baltimore game. It did not. The News regrets the error.
CTE staff thanks Principal Gilley Dear Editor, The staff at Cross Timbers Elementary would like to thank Principal Dee Gilley for her outstanding leadership and compassion. This dedication enabled the students at CTE to receive ‘Distinguished’ ratings in four out of five categories on the third and fourth grade 2014 STAAR Test.

Talking about Dole pineapple from Hawaii
L
ast week's column ended with the term “Dole pineapple” in the sentence that stressed Hawaii's booming economy and trade with the U.S. and others. From my teaching of U.S. history I already knew that a man named Sanford Dole became president of a Republic of Hawaii in the late 19th century. A connection to Dole pineapple had to be there somewhere. American traders first acquired Hawaiian sandalwood, which they sold to China. By the 1830s outsiders introduced the sugar industry. Planters and numerous American missionaries brought a change to the political, cultural, economic life, as well as their emphasis on religion. The newcomers were able to persuade Hawaiians in 1840 to establish a constitutional monarchy, which took some power away from the native king. In 1844 Sanford Ballard Dole was born in Honolulu to American Christian missionary parents. He attended school on the islands, but his parents sent him to Williams College in Massachusetts where he studied law. He
THE
came back to Hawaii and was elected to the Hawaiian legislature in 1884. Later he served on the Supreme Court of Hawaii from 1887 to 1893. Dole was sympathetic to the Westernization of Hawaii, meaning more close ties to the U.S. Indeed, he had friends who were in the sugar industry who advocated annexation to the U.S. In the 40 years after Dole was born, the United States made treaties with Hawaii, one of them being permission to establish a U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor. Sugar exports to the U.S. kept expanding, and more and more Americans moved to Hawaii as they invested in land. When the king died in 1891, his sister took the throne and refused to accept the limitations of Hawaii's existing constitution. She increased her own power. Two years later in 1893 a “Committee of Safety” that Dole organized overthrew Queen Liliuokalani (Lili u o ka la ne). The U.S. minister to Hawaii, John Stevens, encouraged the American landowners to revolt in 1893 to overthrow the queen. An American warship sat in Honolulu Harbor to back them up. Stevens recognized the new government on behalf

of the U.S. and called Hawaii a protectorate. Dole submitted a treaty of annexation to the U.S. government. Some writers say that most Hawaiians wanted annexation to the U.S. because of PAGES FROM the economic dvantages. WESTERN aOthers would HISTORY argue that U.S. usinessmen J’Nell L. Pate bused a heavy hand in trying to annex Hawaii. I won't get into the politics of it now. President of the U.S. at the time, Grover Cleveland, opposed annexation and tried to restore the queen to the throne. Dole refused to step down and proclaimed Hawaii an independent republic. Then in 1897 President William McKinley negotiated a treaty with the Republic of Hawaii. When

the Spanish-American War erupted the next year, the naval base at Pearl Harbor proved so valuable that Congress became convinced to approve annexation. Dole had remained president of the republic from 1894 to 1900. By 1900 Congress approved annexation, and Hawaii became a U.S. territory. McKinley then named Dole as governor of the territory of Hawaii. In 1903 he became a federal judge and served until 1914. He died in 1926. So how did we get Dole pineapple? James Dole, a cousin of Sanford Dole, began a company called Hawaiian Pineapple in 1901. He had only arrived in Hawaii two years earlier and began a pineapple plantation on the island of Oahu. James Dole realized that the sale of products to the U.S. became more profitable after the annexation because no import tariffs would be involved. Two missionaries named Samuel Northrup Castle and Amos Starr Cooke began a business in 1851 which became one of the largest companies in Hawaii. They invested in shipping, railroad construction, sugar production, seafood, and yes, pineapple sales.

In 1932 Castle and Cooke bought a 21 percent interest in Dole's company. Of course, Hawaii became a state in 1959. In the 1960s Castle and Cooke purchased the rest of Dole's company. After Castle and Cooke bought James Dole's Hawaiian Pineapple Company and the Standard Fruit Company, they renamed it all The Dole Food Company, Inc. in 1991. It became the third largest importer of bananas. Dole and Chiquita became the top two U.S. banana companies in 2011. In August 2013 the Dole company sold out to David Murdock for $1.2 billion. Dole pineapple, of course, is still around. Also, there exists a pineapple maze at the Dole Plantation in Oahu, Hawaii that is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest maze. Robert Dole, U.S. Senator from Kansas, and the Republican nominee for president in 1996, apparently is not related to the Hawaii Doles. Retired history professor J’Nell Pate of Azle has authored several books, many of which are on sale in the lobby of the Azle News.

County processes Governor Saying “No” Perry after felony indictment without regret
G
ov. Rick Perry on Aug. 20 walked the block and a half from the G o v e r n o r ’s Mansion to the Travis County Courthouse, presented himself for arraignment by a state district judge and routine booking procedures, spoke at a five-minute press conference and left. Perry was indicted on Aug. 15 by a Travis County grand jury on felony charges of abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant. Perry entered a plea of not guilty to either charge. The charges stem from the governor’s veto of the Public Integrity Unit’s 2014-2015 budget in June 2013. The 35-employee unit, which serves as the state’s ethics-investigating body, is the direction of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg. Perry said he would veto the agency’s budget unless Lehmberg resigned from her elected office. Lehmberg was arrested in Austin for drunken driving in April 2013. Photographs and video recordings of her condition immediately before, during and after her arrest were widely disseminated. She served a short jail sentence, publicly apologized, underwent counseling, returned to her post, and contrary to the governor’s wishes, refused to resign. Perry reacted with a line-item

Lady Hornets reach Graham title match by mark k. campbell The Lady Hornet volleyball team made a nice run at a crowded Graham tournament. Azle (11-5) came within one game of winning the event. In pool play Friday, Aug. 22, AHS won three of four matches, posting a 6-2 mark. The Lady Hornets defeated Palo Duro 25-11, 25-8 and Burkburnett 25-11, 25-13. Abilene High topped Azle 1725, 19-25 before AHS bounced back to defeat 5-5A rival Wichita Falls 27-25, 25-21. The impressive pool play mark propelled the Lady Hornets to the Gold bracket. In the opener Aug. 23, Lubbock Cooper tumbled to Azle 25-18, 25-20. Next, AHS popped The Colony 25-23, 25-22. That set up a championship clash with Abilene High, the team that Azle fell to in pool play. This time, the Lady Hornets won the opener 25-21 before

Racers off to Elk Run
With the annual 6-mile relay cross country opener past, the regular season begins on a familiar course – Chishenhall Park in Burleson at the Elk Run Fri., Aug. 29. At the Birdville relay, one Lady Hornet team finished second and another fifth out of 18 squads. The AHS JV took fourth out of 18 teams. Three boys teams finished fifth, eighth, and 16th out of 24 teams. A trio of JV units took seventh, 11th, and 23rd out of 38 rivals. Girls coach Melody Dennis said the season “looks tough,” but: “We will continue our philosophy of out-working the other teams and learning to race together as a team.” Boys coach Keith Boenisch believes his team is a top 5 regional squad “if they stay healthy, progress like they did last year, and don’t over-think this thing.” He added that AHS has depth Lady Hornets are used to hearing veteran cross country coach Melody Dennis yelling encouragement during races.

Azle football season kicks off Friday by mark k. campbell Expect the fight for the four playoff berths out of 5-5A to be a slugfest. And Azle will be among the battlers, AHS coach Devon Dorris said. The Hornets hosted Burleson – a playoff team in 2013 – and played well until late, Dorris recalled. “It was getting hot; we let off the gas,” he said. “That helped us determine that we’re not where we needed to be.” Earlier in the traditional scrimmage, the varsity scored 4 times – 3 by the No. 1 unit and once by the second group. In the “live game,” the Elks and Hornets tied 1-1. “They punched some holes in our armor and we need to fix that,” Dorris said. With the season looming, Dorris said the Hornets are anxious to hit the gridiron. “We have put in a lot of hard work and can’t wait to step on the field,” he said. That happens – for just one of four times in 2014 – this Friday night at 7:30 p.m. when Granbury comes to Hornet Field. The Pirates are not picked to reach the playoffs this season – but neither is Azle, Dorris said.
ACS ready to go Another state football title in certainly a possibility for Azle Christian School. Runners-up last year on a freezing November day in Springtown, this year’s Crusaders bring back an explosive offense. Coach Gary Rushing has scheduled three public schools to get ACS ready for TCAF play. Veteran Crusaders Joey Rosamond (QB) and Jake Bartell (WR) make a formidable team that hooked up for 19 TDs – and that’s with Bartell playing in just 7 games. Other vets returning include back Josh Crawford, center Cody Warren, and kicker Alex Schardt. A Nazarene move-in, Alex Coffee, will help, too, Rushing said. “This is the best offense since I’ve been here,” the coach said. The Crusaders open 2014 ranked No. 2 in private school 6-man football, behind only Odessa Latter Rain – a team ACS faces at home Oct. 3. Azle Christian will meet Sanderson, a town in far West Texas, at Water Valley near San Angelo.

Still, Granbury is the “favorite” according to weekly rankings. Dorris said, because of AHS’ statewide ranking, the Hornets will be officially underdogs in many games, especially early in the season until Azle starts tallying wins. Dorris said the change in the game clock – from 25 seconds to 40 between plays this year – won’t affect his squad much. Another change will affect the Marching Green Pride. Now, bands can not play from the time opposing players break from the huddle until the ball is snapped. Previously, the MGP’s con- The Hornets finally got to hit some athletes other than teammates when Burleson came to Hornet Field for scrimmages.

Movie Man
Wednesday, August 27, 2014
Latest graphic novel adaptation plenty graphic The follow up to 2005’s Sin City (Movie Man No. 606, a 5) took its time arriving. It’s finally here just over nine years later and, unfortunately, it suffers from the same woes of the original. About the film The first one wasn’t a colossal hit at $74.1 million. But it had its fanboy base and that grew via in-home viewing. This sequel is similar to the original with a couple of exceptions. One, it tanked huge at the box office. Two, the title is much longer: Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. That’s far from the longest title ever, however. If you throw out documentaries, obscure foreign movies, and shorts, a few mainstream movies rank among the lengthiest. A doozy is Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines or How I flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes. That was 1965. Another hails from 2006, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (MM #690, 7). The most critically loved long-titled movie is Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb in (1964). Another one that gave marquee builders headaches was Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1999). A couple of others that gained some notoriety: Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? (1971) and The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford (2007, probably the least seen Brad Pitt movie). Fans of weirdo Sixties movies (like the Movie Man) are fond of The Incredibly Strange
Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (1964). The “official” record holder for longest title is intentionally stupid: Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Hellbound, Flesh-Eating, Subhumanoid Zombified Living Dead, Part 2: In Shocking 2-D (1991). All these titles make Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For seem piddling, admittedly. It’s one of those titles that has a prominent creator – writer, director, etc. – in the title; director John Carpenter is famed for this. Miller is as beloved by fanboys as Joss Whedon and J.J. Abrams. Miller gained nerd fame when he penned popular Batman comic stories back in the 1980’s. He was also behind the film misfires Robocop 2 (1990) and 3 (1993) and he wrote the graphic novel that was turned into the hit 300 (2006, MM#708, 6). Its sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire (2014, MM #1,079, 7), was also based on one of Miller’s graphic efforts. In 2008, folks (including the Movie Man) had high hopes for The Spirit (MM #805, 3). Miller wrote that screenplay, but it suffered from the same malady that the Sin Citys suffer from: They look cool but just end up being completely forgettable. Miller had a hand in directing a trio of movies – Spirit and the Sin Citys – that perform better on the page than the screen. The plot There are actually three threads of plots weaving around here, some of them prequels to the original movie. (That hardly matters when watching it, however.) Basin City is scummy and these tales revolve around the even scummier parts of town. Marv (Mickey Rourke) is a

... on a scale of 1-10
Movie Man beast of a bouncer who protects stripper Nancy (Jessica Alba) who is angry at senator Roark (Powers Boothe) for killing the only person she ever loved, Hartigan (Bruce Willis). Johnny (Joseph GordonLevitt) is the luckiest guy in the world at gambling, something he plans on using to get to Roark. Dwight (Josh Brolin) can’t shake the lure of Ava (Eva Green) who manipulates men with her sensuality to get whatever she wants – including investigating cop Mort (Christopher Meloni) – with loyal henchman Manute (Dennis Haysbert) always there to protect her. Characters ebb and flow, popping up then disappearing before joining together for some serious havoc. What works As expected, this movie looks great. It mimics the look of a black-and-white graphic comic with occasional startling splashes of red or other colors. The dialogue is intentionally smarmy and campy – the entire film is a take-off on the film noir moviemaking style from the 1940s. Many static scenes – mirroring comic book panels – look fantastic including a stack of gambler’s coins that resemble
a cityscape and the hulking Roark wandering around in the midst of gunfire and mayhem. Boothe as the senator is far and away the top dog in the acting category. He’s straight-up evil and clearly revels in it. Best scene (spoiler) Boothe’s Roark is not happy that Gordon-Levitt’s Johnny has not only defeated him in his secret poker game but flatout humiliated him. So Roark, in his long limo, screeches up and snatches Johnny. Inside the car, very bad things happen to the cocky Johnny. (He ends up having to visit a back alley doctor played by Christopher
Lloyd.) look good – it’s gotta deliver There’s intensity in this scene more. that does not show up again, And Frank Miller’s Sin City: sadly. A Dame to Kill For fails, long title or not.
