* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack: Starkweather seems bent on stalking Sherry after sending her beat poetry from juvenile detention, and she isn't completely over him. When Starkweather delivers an awful poem as he's holding Sherry hostage, Woolsey even asks what Sherry sees in him.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Herb and Bob vanish from the film after recruiting Harvey to work at the premiere. If they had attended the event themselves during the third act (they don't), they could have had some good comic scenes pretending to still protest the film and trying to rein in Harvey's incompetence and disloyalty. Their being on the Hollywood blacklist is also only casually mentioned, with no exploration into the characters' views on the it and any risks Woolsey faces for ignoring it.

Added DiffLines:

* JerkassWoobie: Andy loses some likability due to his enthusiasm for shooting frogs and jingoism, but the blatant way everyone treats him like TheFriendNobodyLikes when he desperately wants to befriend them can feel pitiable.
