Ya gotta admit, this Lamb Chop thing is the most interesting factoid that has surfaced in months, maybe years. If a passable Lamb Chop is not in the new Mafia-oriented movie, I for one am going to have serious issues with its authenticity. I could accept a Garfield substitute if that's all they could find at the Manitoba Walmart, but nothing less.

And yet another thread goes into the toilet because certain people are seriously mentally ill.

Oh, well, let's get back to Lamb Chop - or Lamb J. Chop III, as he was actually christened at, er, birth.

It was apparently all filmed in Manitoba, Canada.

The front door is further recessed.
The front doors and door trim are timber.
The lattice on both sides of the front entrance have been replaced with windows.
The four pillars look pretty grotty.
The blue screens on either extreme will be used as digital mattes to fill in the rest of the building.
An off site set means less disruption and more control.

LHO may have considered himself a patsy, in the sense he was "hung out to dry," or left "holding the bag."

That is, LHO participated in the JFKA, and was promised a getaway ride, and then perhaps a trip to Cuba or offshore. Perhaps a lump sum of money too.

Instead, there was no post-JFKA ride, and LHO's erstwhile confederates had vamoosed.

If LHO had been working for Bruce Solie (as theorized by some)...one can see why US authorities would have conducted a very ginger investigation into LHO's confederates.

That sounds like a real bad idea, after Oswald was screwed by his fellow conspirators, they then allow the pissed off Oswald to be captured and potentially rat them all out, makes zero sense!
If Oswald had associates, they wouldn't want Oswald to leave the building alive and perhaps they would kill Oswald with his own rifle and make it look like a suicide, and plant an appropriate suicide note.

JS-

I know nothing abut Hollywood economics. I guess it is cheaper to build a set than to film in front of the TSBD.

Seems odd.

That was my thinking as well. I can't remember if the real TSBD still has the original sign over the front door but it seems like they could have put a temporary sign over the door or used AI to generate the sign. Maybe it was a question of getting a permit to block the sidewalk and the street in order to film the scene. I wouldn't think they would have needed long to shoot the scene but what do I know.

"They've taken me in because of the fact that I lived in the Soviet Union. I'm just a patsy".

So how does that make him any less of a patsy in the killing of the President?

Even a matter as seemingly small as the near extinction of the vocative (direct address) comma saddens me, so I'm probably not the right person to ask.

You don't have to get all accusative about it.

Or maybe LHO just lied his ass off.
