Now that you're up in Big Sleep

Valuable friend

They saw you leaving this way"

The Big Sleep (1946 film)

There’s a well-known plothole in the Humphrey Bogart film The Big Sleep: Who killed chauffeur Owen Taylor? It’s hard to figure out who in the movie had the motive and was still alive when he meets his end.

A few years back I wrote a hypothetical explanation to solve the unsolved crime, and now I’ve posted it on my WordPress blog: https://notalisonblog.com/the-big-sleep-1946-missing-chapter/

My version sort of qualifies as fan fiction, since it includes a long section of prose with a character’s POV. Call it a literary supposition.

Doesn't the nothingness of death sound sort of peaceful?

I saw someone say a while ago that Jason attacking Tim at Titans Tower was just Tim hallucinating bc he was feeling guilty about being Robin even though Jason's not dead. Which is great, amazing, I think the whole Titans Tower thing is Bonkers, but I think it would be so much funnier if Jason tried to Gaslight Tim into believing the Titans Tower incident never happened, not because he's like evil, he's just super embarassed about it. like Or Tim did actually hallucinate Jason at TT but thinks it was real, so when he tells Jason about it, Jason's so fucking confused, and Tim thinks Jason's Gaslighting him

Tim: Remember that time when you broke into Titans Tower and beat me half to death while wearing a Robin costume from party city

Jason: What? Tim, I know i'm crazy, but I'm not...Insane.

Tim, pulling down his collar: I literally have the scar to prove it

Jason: Bruce told me that was from Clayface pretending to be me, which, might I just say rude. Tim... are you ok? Did you hallucinate me attacking you? like, I know I've done that before, but...

Tim, frowning: I don't think I hallucinating. I was benched for a while after because I had to recover-

Jason: well, you were benched around the time I was dropping hints that I knew who Bruce was outside of Batman, he probably just benched you to keep you safe. You probably were working too many cases with too little sleep and your imagination started to run wild.

Tim: Are you gaslighting me?

Jason: Are you gaslighting me?
