He’s not in his right mind. He’s been living with insanity for too long. He can’t think straight.
Remarkably little blood in that pool with all those holes in him. OK, well, none.
Ah well, sign of the times, I suppose.
She’s an incredible shot. She must be great at carnival games.
“Funny how gentle people get with you when you’re dead.”
That line says so much. Such a great screenplay.
A great actress knows all about doing it perfectly, shot after shot.
This ending reminds me of Streetcar, as well as Baby Jane.
Hedda Hopper, the lady on the phone, was a real life Hollywood gossip columnist.
All tragic.
“All those wonderful people in the dark.”

With all these stars, I wonder how much of this movie was based in reality. I’m sure there were plenty of washed-up movie stars around back then who pretty much lost it – probably not to this degree, but no doubt in a quieter, less violent sort of way.
Another excellent choice. I loved it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Yeah I’m sure. Walking the thin line of passion and sanity, to be treated as royalty only to be throw away like day old bread.
We’ll frak Baby Jane next week. Whaddya say?
Such a lovely play on words, don’t ya think?
As scary a thot as it is, Norma Desmond was the Britney Spears of her day. :eek:
Another excellent choice! 
Such a lovely play on words, don’t ya think?
Not going there. :rolleyes:
Found this tidbit:
The major starring role in the film, an inspired casting choice, was held by legendary silent film diva Gloria Swanson (Mae West was also a possible choice for the role), who “autobiographically” portrayed Norma Desmond - a deluded, tragic, ambitious actress whose career declined with the coming of the talkies. [Her name was a combination of the names of two early Hollywood figures: comedy star Mabel Normand, and silent-film director William Desmond Taylor (Normand’s lover), who was murdered in 1922. There was an intensive investigation but his murder case went unsolved.]
Interesting. Maybe not so fictional after all…
I don’t know. Some of these reality TV “stars” give 'em both a run for their money.
You know, I’ve got it:
Michael Jackson :eek:
We. Have. A. WINNER!
Well, I’ve got to get some sleep. Don’t work too hard, and you get some sleep, too! 
G’night.
Yeah. I shouldn’t be too much longer, another half hour. Hopefully.
Nite Nite. Dream of Norma Desmond walking towards you going out of focus.
