After a jealous former boyfriend threw acid in her face, Linda considered herself "damaged merchandise" unworthy of love. Heck she went blind thanks to this lunatic former love. Who would *want* her now?
So what’s a girl to do? Marry the B@*&%#**^ ?! Which is exactly what Linda did – after he served time in prison that is.
Just out in selected movie theaters is "Crazy Love", a documentary covering the relationship between Linda and Burt Pugach. Here is what Christy Lemire of the Associated Press had to say about this PG-13 rated film:
"Crazy Love" is a documentary about a man who was so obsessively possessive of his ex-girlfriend that he lied to her about divorcing his wife, paid guys to beat her up so she’d feel frightened enough to run back to him, and, most shockingly of all, hired a thug to throw lye in her face, leaving her blind and disfigured at 22.
And it’s funny!"
Did Ms. Lemire say funny? Even after reading her review I fail to see what is so funny about this story. Should curiosity get the better of me and I decide to see the movie, will I think it funny then? Somehow I doubt it.
I’ve done a little reading of reviews of this documentary online and I thought about posting them here, but quite frankly, I’ve got better things to do. I’d like to think that proceeds from this documentary, should there be any, will be used for greater good to promote issues such as the rights of battered women or domestic violence against women with disabilities or some such thing. But somehow I doubt that too.
