Giving this a try. Observations: Noticed that the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" and "Sweeney Todd" have some things in common, killing a person (Frank Bennett in F.G.T) and many victims in Sweeney, then somehow getting away with serving the remains in a tasty treat. BBQ was how Frank was served-up and of course everyone that met Mr. Todd's blade became the main ingredient in pies. Just an interesting observation while watching "Fried Green Tomatoes" tonight.
Watched an interesting documentary on Sundance, "The Angelmakers". Over 140 men were poisoned with arsenic in a small village in Hungary. Who killed them? Their wives! The documentary is basically just interviews with those who were children when it happened. Most of the killings took place between the years 1920-1929. Divorce was illegal. These women were victims of abuse and claimed that many of the husbands were drunks. A mid-wife in the village was providing the arsenic. Then suspicion and graves were dug-up. The authorities started to arrest the women of the dead husbands. Many women committed suicide once they heard about the arrests and the mid-wife killed herself. It is never RIGHT to murder. The older women that were being interviewed seemed to think that this was the only way out for their Aunts, Grandmothers and sisters. The men that were still alive were telling others: "It's been said, don't come here, if the husband doesn't behave, he will be killed." Watch it!
