: You know, I can't figure out why the Hollywood

: Prophecies" claimed to be "based

: of what happened in Point Pleasant has never

: satisfaction. I mean, the movie was little
: more than a skewed collection of anecdotes
: with a decidedly thin fictional plot. When
: the producers approached what COULD have
: been the only facts of the story (the
: collapse of the Silver Bridge, for example),
: they chose to DEFLATE the facts rather than
: sensationalize them. I don't GET
: this---typically, Hollywood takes mundane
: incidents and blows them all out of
: proportion. In this instance, however, a
: certainly sensational story was scrubbed,
: bleached, and dried on high-heat until it
: resembled nothing so much as a withered
: facsimile of The Mothman Prophecies.
