Ever watch “Memento”? Ever watch it fifteen, sixteen times --
sometimes with the sound off, searching for subtle visual clues that the noise
might distract you from, like a magician’s patter? Well, we did, me’n Joey. Now that was one tough case to crack.
Only now, Doctor J may have a
lead that could bust the thing wide open.
Check out the investigation here:
[Dr J in statu proprio]:There
is, in fact, a similarity between the Leonard of “Memento” and the Murphy of
“Murphy on the Mount”. Both are
engaged in a dogged, almost frenzied quest, in a case with almost no evidence
-- and with absolutely nothing in it for them personally. Both Leonard’s wife, and Murphy’s
client (who wasn’t going to pay him anyway) are dead: but the case has its own momentum, and they pursue its
improbable solution, like a
knight the grail.
