I caught this movie half-way through to the end and I'm wondering why Joan didn't leave an inheritance for any of her kids? In the movie it's only said that " they know exactly why."

She cut Christina, and the son she adopted out of her will but the twin daughters she adopted and had a much better healthier relationship with, she left them her estate. That's when Christina and her brother went to court to battle it all out and when she wrote the book. The twins had a totally different relationship with their mother.

Mommie left the twins (Cindy + Cathy) the same CASH amount, but the bulk of her estate was in her personal possessions.jewelry, furs, collectibles, real estate, insurance, etc.
All of THAT she just left to just ONE twin (Cathy)so even amongst the two kids she
favored,
she was holding grudges and creating a wedge.

what do you mean, who do (boldface) I like? C'mon, I know you can do it: Let me know what made you ask that. You know, IY likes that forthrightness, instead of the usual veiled talk. So, what makes you ask?
..but if you cant, you know I completely under-stand -

No, you're just oppositional-defiant in your usual stream-of-consciouness manner.
Why do you do that? Always wasting your obvious intelligence going afer
everybody
whether they and their argument deserve it (and sometimes they do) and especially if they don't.

But, but why do you not ask the same for other posters who share the same opinion/comment as me?
Because NOBODY shares the same opinions as you. Except for possibly some of the members of that simple minded society you've got working overtime in your spastic imagination.
Yes, the cheese stands alone. Sad, but true. -

Even InherentlyYours doesn't share the opinions of InherentlyYours. He even argues with himself ad nauseum.
It's really quite weird.
He's able to take on dumb people and handles them well, quick to point out their pretensions and delusions, sometimes quite accurately. But when somebody does the same to him somebody who's smarter than the ducks he usually quacks with he seems to fall apart pretty quickly for some reason.
The more nonsensical his response (as above) the more he seems to know he's in the wrong or had been "caught". -

I have shared many of IY's opinions and outlooks and I think when he does have something that connects and of worthwhile value to say, he is just as intelligent and smart as some of his adversaries. However, he is not flexible in some of his outlooks and refuses to see the bigger arena at times. This is just his own pride, arrogance and self-absorption. He is caught up in his own headspace and can't do friendships very well and hardly has any sense of humor. It is when he is wrong and contradicts himself and smart people are attempting to put him right or at least offer him another perspective or outlook, that he falls to pieces and makes himself look like a fool. He also loves to bait; but yes you are correct, this baiting is due to his own mental disorders in arguing within himself. He doesn't quite know on which foot the shoe fits sometimes.

Isn't that the truth. It's kind of like he has been living in a small closet all these years, and instead of reaching for the doorknob (which is three inches away from his face) to unlock the door and step out into the room and breathe new air and see all the people, he has convinced himself that the easier way to get out of the closet is by banging his head on the wall opposite the door, repeatedly.
The more nonsensical his response (as above) the more he seems to know he's in the wrong or had been 'caught'
And he works like the Tasmanian Devil trying to figure out whether he wants to be right or wrong.
You've got his number, allright.
It's like the lyric from "The Patty Duke Show" theme.

Just out sincere curiosity, IY, who do you like?
I asked the poster that very same question once, back when he went by the name 'Jim'. And I can tell you that he HATES that question more than any other, and he will do amazing mental calisthenics in order to deflect and dodge and not have to answer that question. Many years ago - when I still was giving him the benefit of the doubt and thought he was just having a bad month - I asked him what he thought of Sissy Spacek's performance in "Carrie". Because that is my own favorite performance as well as my own favorite movie. The first time he didn't answer my completely HARMLESS question (I was attempting to engage him and be friendly), I guessed it was just an oversight. So I asked him again the same question, and when he didn't answer me again, I guess curiosity got the better of me. So I asked him the same thing a third time.
"YOU'VE ASKED ME THAT THREE TIMES!!!
He's pretty much an open and shut case. And if he weren't the epitome of a troll, I think I might be able to feel sorry for him. But of course, he feels sorry enough for himself. -

Fascinating, and pretty much what I've observed. He's astute and extremely bright, but he wastes it, verbally assaulting both those who derserve it and those who don't at all (although he always begins to stammer with the latter group).
And ultimately fights with himself, which is weird. (And I'm not even referring to his sock puppets).
Oh, and he now seems to think I'm "Todd" someone he seems to have a past issue with here, I'm guessing.
