domino43So, I went with my cousin Marina to see the first showing of Public Enemies on Wednesday. Pretty awesome movie. Johnny was hot as ever and it had a good amount of shooting with some humor thrown in.
I did have a small problem with it, though. They have 'Pretty Boy' Floyd being killed at the beginning. He was killed 3 months after Dillinger.
Interesting fact involving Floyd: In 1931 he and William 'Billy the Killer' Miller and their girlfriends were in Bowling Green, Ohio spending some money when a store clerk at the Uhlman's Clothing store recognized them and alerted the police. A shootout ensued and a police officer, R.H. Castner, was killed. Miller was killed by the Police Chief. Castner is still the only BGPD officer to have died in the line of duty.
For perspective, Bowling Green is the next town over, about 7 miles from my house. I actually have a feeling of exactly where it happened. I know it's supposed to be on Prospect, near Clough. I always get a weird feeling in this one specific spot of Prospect right near the intersection. I think that's where it was.
