Does anyone know the laws regarding killing people who are supposed to already be dead? Not zombies.

I need to go back home again.

i'm fairly certain that if there is a death certificate then provided you never actually get caught you're fine, seeing as nobody's looking for that person. unless it's that you're actually trying to re-kill a body that is actually right in front of you dead, and then your name's vivian something and you are a frustrated sort of soul and are from a story about american law.

Chelmnickon.

... I don't actually want to know, I think.

[outforyou]

yes, chelmnickon, thank you. that's really a ridiculous name, i'm not surprised i didn't remember it, really.

[tooth_and_tail]

not the movie, then, I think?

[outforyou]

is that actually a film? it doesn't sound like it'd be very good.

The one with Ashley Judd and the bad husband.

I don't remember her character's name.

OH DOUBLE JEOPARDY mickey would kill me for having not known that. kill me dead. twice. and be ashamed of me.

(I was going to advise you of that fact but evidently you already knew that. Thankfully you don't know why, though maybe the next time I actually see you, kid, I'll tell you, or he will.)

[tooth_and_tail]

... should I ask.

[outforyou]

it has something to do with time travel and ridiculousness and similarities to an old case and mac might know better.

[tooth_and_tail]

... time travel?

[outforyou]

yes. because the movie is based on a principle that ... they misinterpreted, and it would require time travel to actually get the premise to work?

your girlfriend makes me nervous, answering this where she can see it and i might be wrong.

[tooth_and_tail]

I believe you.

I also don't remember the movie very well. I think I sort of halfway watched it. Once.

[outforyou]

i've seen it like four times. i have not seen it as many times as i have seen the usual suspects by half. not even by sixteenths.

[tooth_and_tail]

now why did you do that?

[outforyou]

because everyone loves that movie a little too much here. possibly because it reminds most of us of people we know, or has a lot in the way of inspiration.

same with ocean's eleven.

ensemble cast romantic subplot that may or may not actually be genuine in the slightest main characters like committing really badass crimes while working in cahoots really well to the fullest of everyone's talents thriller thing.
