Natural Born Killers (1994)
two country bumpkins learn that senseless killin beats milkin cows all day ******************************** A/N (extended version) Call me demented but I love this movie. Watched it at least 6 times. It also has a great soundtrack (bought it within a week of watching it). Quentin Tarantino Originally wrote the script but couldn’t get financial backing, so he sold it. It then fell in the hands of Oliver Stone who took part in reworking the story and directed it. The original script was told from the perspective of a news reporter (Robert Downey Jr.) But Oliver wanted to focus on building the characters, Mickey and Mallory (Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis). The result is a violent yet visceral depiction of sensationalism—how the media will exploit and inflate news stories for the sake of ratings. At times, this movie can be sensory overload, yet artful in its graphic novel, styled format. I do recommend it. If you can handle a little blood and vulgar language, I say go for it. The deeper message is so worth the absurdities... However, there were at least two celebrities who walked out on it at the theater including Oprah Winfrey and Quentin Tarantino himself. He requested a downgrade of his credit from 'Written by' to 'Story by'. That's how much he hated the changes.

Beating the system.
After things are said and done, my life will return to all I know — waking up, going to work, enjoying a lunch break, driving home, stopping for lottery tickets and beer on the way, showering, walking the dogs, playing with the dogs, making dinner, reading the news, watching jeopardy, consider doing laundry, deciding it's too much work, putting on headphones instead and drowning out the world with an edgy playlist of my favorite tracks that define a music era I never mentally left... (loses breath) A routine fit for King of the bachelors. More like The King of Misfortune.
