It doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re talking about murder and rape; just saying the word &#8220;panties&#8221; is enough to get the whole courtroom giggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I saw this at the Vista, which only shows movies on film. Last time I was there I saw a great 70mm print of Vertigo. This time, it was a 35mm print that looked looked like it had been stored in the basement of a truck stop. It was watchable, but mighty rough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Went with an easy, mostly text poster for today&#8217;s parody. The picture of Jimmy Stewart is pretty rough, so it matches well with the film print I saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Anatomy-of-a-Murder-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A poster fr Anatomy of a Murder in the style of the poster for Ferris Bueller's Day Off.\" class=\"wp-image-2575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Anatomy-of-a-Murder-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Anatomy-of-a-Murder-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Anatomy-of-a-Murder-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Anatomy-of-a-Murder-2.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is this where the &#8220;I&#8217;m just a simple country lawyer&#8221; gag came from?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2574,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":10,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"anyone","activitypub_status":"federated","footnotes":""},"categories":[161,63,20],"tags":[257,78,258,10,38,259],"class_list":["post-2572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movie-pass-adventures","category-movies","category-photoshop","tag-jimmy-stewart","tag-movies","tag-otto-preminger","tag-photoshop","tag-totally-completely-real","tag-vista-theatre"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2572"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2572\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2576,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2572\/revisions\/2576"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
