Re: Got Terrence Malik's "Badlands"...

I've enjoyed watching that film because it's based on a real incident, as most of you know. The girl was named Carol Fugate, the guy's real name escapes me now. Big news when I was a kid. I now live in the Wyoming town where they were captured, Douglas. The locals still tell stories of them driving through town at 80 m.p.h. and getting caught out in the boonies somewhere near here and then spending a few days in the county jail a couple of blocks from my house. Okay, what was the kid's name? He eventually went to the electric chair, I believe. Fugate was released a few years ago, I think, after spending 30 or 35 years in prison.
