Lifetime Movies

Last night on LifeTime, there was a movie called, "A Face to Kill For" starring Crystal Bernard as a horribly scarred woman who was framed by her eville boyfriend. She goes to jail, gets out, meets a nice plastic surgeon, gets all purty, and then goes about getting revenge.

This is not to be confused with LifeTime's other movie, "A Face to Die For," starring Yasmine Bleeth in...well it's the same exact story. Exactly. Well, except that in this one, there's somebody named "Bleeth". That's the big difference right there. That's how they getcha.

Ok, now, these films were both on the same stupid network. How did this happen? Several scenarios come to mind.

1. They just fell asleep at the wheel, and plum forgot that they had already made the exact same film but with a different...uh..."star"?
2. It was like the whole Alexander the Great thing where suddenly everybody and their mother was making one for no good reason at all.
3. They made the first film and thought, "That was real good. Gimme that one again!" Or, perhaps the studio head is a 2 year old, and when he likes a film, he just shouts, "Do 'gain!!!!"
4. (my favorite) One of the films is an homage to the other one, it being such a classic. God, I hope this is the one.
