I got this silly assignment to write a four-page essay on why such and such is the best TV show or movie. See if we can write, I guess. I had no idea what to do and just happened to be watching True Romance the night before the assignment was due. Some excerpts:
"screenwriter Quentin Tarantino ... call girl ... kung fu triple feature ... former pimp Drexl ... Elvis Presley ... overcome with a tray of Chinese food, shoots Drexl in the genitals ... half a million dollars worth of uncut cocaine ... pursuit ... various unsavory characters ... Detroit's industrial netherworld ... submit to Walken's entreaties ... impregnated by Moors ... gunshots to the head ... Bronson Pinchot ... a car carrying William Shatner sprawled across its hood ... bag of cocaine ... explodes ... the barely conscious Floyd ... exceedingly violent scene ... a Swiss Army corkscrew, the lid of a toilet tank ... Sizemore and Penn ... similarly drawn firearms ... Clarence and Alabama escape ... acrobatic and meticulously choreographed scenes of brutal violence and gunslaying ... arguably limited sphere of Tarantino's influence ... gratuitous ... Natural Born Killers ..."
