  True Romance 1993

  ★★★½ Rewatched by Rob 02 Jul 2022

  I've seen True Romance about a dozen times, and this is the first time it occurred to me that, when a pop culture obsessed dork like Clarence finally gets himself laid, of course it would be lit and shot exactly like the sex scene from Top Gun. Well, either that or the one from The Terminator, but even Tony Scott knew that no human being can have hand-clasping sex the way that Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese do by simple…

  Then we cut to a teenager, who has apparently murdered a girl in his bedroom, calling his mom for help, and it seems the voice over might well have been straight out of an incel's 4Chan post history, and I am questioning the life choices that have brought me here, in front of…
