 DVD review of The Killers: Double-Disc Set - DVD Town   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Siodmak version of the film “Ernest Hemingway’s The Killers” is a gritty and dark representation of the blossoming concept the came to be known as film noir in the years surrounding its establishment.
The narrative follows a different track, that being the killers who wish not to recover the money stolen for noble purposes nor are inspired by a sense of inquisitiveness, rather a greedy lust that allows them to take whatever means necessary in order to procure a slice of the pie they have been exposed to.
The final reason “The Killers” is a landmark film, is the cinematic swan song of one Ronald Reagan, in a role as foreign to him as impromptu speaking.

When the Dude attempts to receive compensation for his soiled rug from "the Big Lebowski," he sets off an outrageous chain of events that involves everything from kidnapping, ransom, double crosses, and pornography to a writer for the vintage TV western Branded, a gang of German nihilists, and their lethal pet marmot.

Labor unions are becoming opposed to big box development due to the fact that the employees of such developments are usually not uionized.
It is important to note that the benefits of big box retailing, and the reasons they continue to be devleped, is that they offer low prices and "great conveniences for the an increasingly time-deprived society." (Uhlenhuth, "The Bigger the Better).
In order to find a compromise, some cities are now trying to impose design guidelines on big box development and to better incorporate the big box stores into their communities by, for example, making them more pedestrian-friendly.

While most killers seek to hide their faces and plan their attacks so no one can see them, these killers scorned masks and chose a busy street in Baghdad to carry out their work because they wanted to send a message.
But due to the great good fortune of the killers, a photographer from the Associated Press was present and pictures of the execution were carried on newspapers throughout the globe, sending the executioner's message not merely to a handful of bystanders to hundreds of millions of readers throughout the world.
Consequently, assuming the killers did not have total confidence in the photographer's discretion, they would have kept their operators under cover until they had confirmed his presence (the pictures I have argued were the point of the operation) and they judged that the coast was clear.

 The DVD Journal | Reviews : The Killers: The Criterion Collection
Ernest Hemingway's 1927 short story "The Killers" is short and sweet, a lean reduction by the literary master of the pulpy fiction of his contemporaries.
Depending on the size of the print, the story usually runs seven-to-10 pages and spares no room for sentimental embroidery in its tight scenario of two hardened assassins suffering small-town innocence as they hunt a man who is resigned to be their prey.
While reveling in the tough dialogue of Dashiel Hammett's ilk, "The Killers" is short on plot, focusing instead on small situations: on the disconnect between brutal big-city killers and small-town folk, and the psychological mystery of a victim lying in dispirited wait.

 Computer disk may have cracked BTK case - Crime & Punishment - MSNBC.com
A computer disk appears to be among the key pieces of evidence that led police to Rader, the 59-year-old church council president and former Cub Scout leader who was charged Tuesday with 10 murders in the BTK killings that terrorized this city over three decades.
When the BTK killer resurfaced last March — the 30th anniversary of the first crimes — police took advantage of advances in technology to re-examine old evidence as well as analyze new clues.
Among the materials the BTK killer sent to the media were a cryptic word puzzle mailed to KAKE-TV in May that included dozens of hidden words, including a grouping of letters spelling “D. Rader” and 6220, the number of Rader’s street address.

 Thinking outside the Big Box - 1998-09-28 - The Business Journal of the Greater Triad Area
Category killers or big boxes -- large discount stores of 25,000-200,000 square feet, depending on their retail category -- accounted for more than 80 percent of all new stores nationwide in 1994, according to Planning magazine, the publication of the American Planning Association.
The story, "Rewrapping the Big Box," highlighted ways for cities to deal with the growing number of new and vacant big boxes.
Even without those problems, though, big boxes are hard to lease or sell because of their sheer size, says Diana Teitsma, leasing representative for Currier Properties Inc., in Charlotte.
