I thought this is all there is,
but now I know you are so much more.
I want to upgrade from my simple eight bits,
but will you still love me when I'm sixty-four?

That's a damn shame.  True romance is still one of my favorite movies of all time, enemy of the state was ahead of it's time, and top gun made every boy on my block want to be a fighter pilot. 

I'm curious to know what was so insurmountable that he'd leave his kids.  Were he and his brother not so close recently that his burden couldn't be shared?

For such a low key guy to go in such a flashy way is rather odd.  Think I'll spin up true romance tonight in memory of a great film maker.   :cry:

Best scene from True Romance, which was full of great scenes.

NSFW for being racist as shit.

Pure cinema genius. Always figured Walken got the show and the tell thing round the wrong way, tho and they left it in for whatever reason.

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.

That's my third-favorite scene in that movie.

It contains racially inflammatory language, but it's worth noting that the scene itself isn't racist; Walken's character is reacting to his own racism, having been deliberately provoked by Scott's character.
"I'm guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles Wick said. "It was very complicated."
