The spectacle of the Crane boys and their grievances reinforces one of Schrader's moralistic themes: the legacy of having a murdered sex addict for a father is confused and angry sons. ''I could never have dreamed these people up,'' Schrader says, as if analyzing an alien species. ''Actually, I don't think 'dream' is the word. 'Fantasize' is more accurate. Wouldn't it be great if there were these kinds of characters for every movie? Bad behavior is so compelling.'' First, I canot believe I even finished the article...
Second, I need to go take a shower...Delousing,let me know what happens, ok?
I just cannot believe people are going to see it, a celebration of perversity. And the studios will make this film, they will market it, it will be a cult classic, for sure...

How on earth did Bob Crane get any woman to go bed with him? Take a look at
bobcrane.com and look at that goofy mug.

I sat right behind Bob Crane at a melodrama dinner theater in Manitou Springs when I was on vacation as a kid. Whattafreak!

I was like watching a train wreck or a plane crash. You just can't quite look away.
I loved Hogan's Heroes as a kid. Unfortunately I am old enough to remember watching some of them them the first time they were on.

Apparently, Hollywood and Crane had one thing in common - they could never lift their minds out of the gutter.
To think the Hollywood community believes *it* should be preaching morals to the rest of the world...
To: RaceBannon
I can't finish this. About halfway through it got too disgusting. Why on earth is this in a respectable newspaper?

I'm embarrassed to say that Paul Schrader is from Grand Rapids. Of all the garbage in this article, I think I find his attitude to be the most offensive (and that's saying something). Truly a sad picture of a man and what his sin has done to his family, even so many years after his demise.

"Besides the fact that Bob Crane was an uncontrollable sex addict who hung around drug dealers and other kinds of rapists, what evidence do you have that he was in any way immoral?" queried Katie.

Although he was only 7 when his father died, Bob Crane showed his young son his sex films. ''I've been seeing these images since I could crawl,'' says Scotty, who maintains that he has not been affected by early exposure to porn starring his father and other women...yeah, right.........
To: RaceBannon
It's odd that with all of the perverse fascination with this subject, the Times still saw fit to print an article on this story.
Didn't the old gray lady tell us that sex is a private matter and none of our business?

Geez, there wasn't one sympathetic person in that whole article -- not the sons, not the widow, not the filmmaker, and certainly not Bob Crane! I feel like a need a bath after reading this.

I stopped half-way through. It was just too disturbing.

"Everyone, especially Scotty and Patti, claim to be violently upset, but their behavior contrasts tellingly with that of Anne, Crane's first wife. Anne has never uttered a peep about the husband who cheated relentlessly. Everyone else, including Schrader, is feeding off the same corpse."
