For albums, movies, books, and other creative works, links to professional reviews. I feel that NOTW qualifies

Links to blogs and personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority (this exception is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities always meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for biographies). I feel NOTW qualifies.Steve-O (talk) 21:14, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plot Hole[edit]

There's an unfortunate problem with the plot, in that Wanley was told by his friend the DA that Heidt, the bodyguard and blackmailer, can't go to the police, because he has some outstanding warrants. So Wanley could have advised Alice to call Heidt's bluff, and tell him to give his evidence to the police. He even mentions that as an alternative, but it doesn't occur to him that it would be viable. Of course, it was all only a dream, so it doesn't have to be completely logical. It's also unusual that in his dream he imagines scenes that happened when he wasn't present, and then he has to be called and told what happened.
