it's nothing to do with it, Hal was just the point of view.

I too have loved other noirs, Hal, but I managed to appreciate Black Dahlia as well. From your comment, it seemed like you overlooked the ironic component; instead, yours is a different perspective, one where irony slips into bad taste, the usual clichés, and banality. I could give a few more examples from cinema... Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, bring on the bad taste (even if unfortunately in De Palma, I believe this is almost entirely absent)... you know I'm a fan of John Waters!

Trey Parker South Park: Il Film

The Simpsons are way too yellow, and the only truly successful character is Homer. South Park is better—much more inappropriate and less moral. It’s a cartoon for adults, The Simpsons are for kids accompanied by adults or vice versa.

Mr. Moustache, are you crazy? Is someone not free to express their opinion?

It's a matter of taste, Hal. Black Dahlia isn't a masterpiece, but it's a very beautiful film (a noir, in my opinion). As a film, it's better than Scorsese's Departed, which I find overrated. Then there's Dressed to Kill; like other De Palma films, it's intentionally ridiculous. This means, in my view, that you're missing a fundamental part of his work: irony!
