See now, I got the impression that it was Mort who was gone. The Shooter personality took over, I thought. Hmm... When he's there with Amy and talking like Shooter he says that Mort took the cowards way out... so we assume that Mort just gave up and let Shooter take over. So then later... when he has the braces, he doesn't have the accent anymore. Ok, I see what you mean then. Who is that? If Mort is gone, and that's not Shooter, then who? I think I'm inclined to believe that it still is Shooter... because of the ending quote mostly. 'I know I can do it.' Todd Downey said as he took another ear of corn from the steaming bowl. 'And in time, her death will be a mystery... even to me.'That's Shooter's quote, not Mort's. Well, that's my two-cents.

Hmm I accually think he is Shooter. I mean, he said Mort died, and I think that Shooter fully took over him. As for the braces and such, I think Shooter was content and stopped killing... [glow=red,2,300] for now....[/glow] Oh yes.. as for the once a week thing.. I am broke, but my dad isn't.

Very interesting, you guys. I'm beginning to think it's a merging of Shooter and Mort. In that sense, Mort as he was, is dead. In the book, Mort's torment was tied not so much to his impending divorce as it was to his having committed plagerism and never being caught. It was as if he had to catch and punish himself. But in the movie, although they allude to previous plagerism, he was caught and paid the guy off. Therefore, in the movie his torment is based on the loss of Amy, which gives more power to Shooter to remedy that situation. Shooter becomes Mort; Mort becomes Shooter and we have *drumroll* Evil Mort by the end of the film. OR... He could be Todd Downey. He is directly living out "Sowing Season" after all, not heading down to Mississippi to be a dairy farmer.

Oh now THAT is an interesting premise... I like that... Todd Downey. YEAH! I mean if Mort can become this Shooter that he created in his head, why can't Shooter become one of his creations? Lol, how confusing is that? And yeah, he did exactly what Todd Downey did in the story! *shudders* Ok, I think that creeps me out even more than before!

Mort --> Shooter!Mort --> Geek!Mort --> BTW, I love all the theories about what happened to Mort at the very end of the movie. Good thing to twist the mind.

Hehe, Johnny's now Todd Doweny Haha, that's great. Or perhaps, Shooter was trying to run away and was "straightening things out", by acting like a different person in the end. Perhaps Mort and Shooter share a room in Mort's body! GASP! Haha, sike, yea, it's late, I had 3 hours of sleep, I'm tired -edit- WE HAVE A RELEASE DATE, ANGELS!! videoeta.com/movie.html?via=form&id=59455July '04 for the DVD! And an interesting article about Johnny at MTV.com: www.mtv.com/bands/m/movie_house/depp_secret_040309/?_requestid=114359

YAY!! COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS TIL JULY!!!! Todd Downey, eh? Good theory.. I agree actually! As for the once a week thing.. my mom was really smeeped about that, so we reached an impass.. I can see it once more, for now.. maybe some more later in life before it comes out. I will then get it the day it comes on DVD, and I can see more Johnny movies, especially R rated ones!!!
