oh I saw this movie before on Lifetime, a few months ago. It's definitly weird and disturbing. What's even more terrible/horrible is that the events in the movie actually happened and Paul and Karla are real people and were sick and disgusting enough to commit such crimes.
Yeah, Misha has said he wishes people would stop watching it. I found the clip where he talks about it. The girl asks him if there is anything he wouldn't do on camera for any amount of money and he says "Karla". Right around the 2:50 mark (she asks the question at around 1:30 but in true Misha style, he rambles about Go Fish for a few minutes first).
Yeah, I felt like the movie wanted us to feel sympathetic towards her. I watch Law and Order SVU and Criminal Minds, but this, probably because it really happened, turned my stomach so hard. I was watching with my sister and I actually wanted to turn it off (turn off Misha, wtf) but I thought she wanted to watch it.
She was having the same problem and afterwards was like "yeah, I kind of wanted to stop watching like 30 minutes in." - and I was like "huh, me too. One of us should have said something." - and she was like "How do you admit that you want to turn off Misha?" Now, hearing what he has to say about it - I mean, he basically said the only other thing he wouldn't do on film for money, besides "Karla", is genocide. So yeah, we should have turned it off. Hindsight.
I get the ick of having seen it, totally. I read some of a true crime book about those two, because I worked for a publisher and I found the book, and probably picked it up because I had met a guy in a writing workshop who lived in that town, and had heard about the case from him and his wife when we were out socially.
And yeah, I was really sorry I read as much of it as I did. It's been years and I want nothing to do with finding out any more of it.

Misha Convention questions, Karla

I've heard that a Canadian biker gang put out a bounty on her, that's how horrible she (and Bernardo, who I don't think is getting out ever) are.
