The script is great too, but I am glad that Tony Scott decided to tell it in a linear fashion rather than QT's normal "all over the place" story order.<BR/><BR/>I guess what I'm saying is that if QT had made it instead of Tony Scott, I would have liked it a whole lot less.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770503577097015511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667636016099428613.post-2257794859829890032008-08-01T07:28:00.000-07:002008-08-01T07:28:00.000-07:00Bubs,I'm sorry to hear about your partner.That's a...Bubs,<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry to hear about your partner.<BR/><BR/>That's a great name for a dog and if we ever get a house, I think I'll go with that name.<BR/><BR/>What's weird is hearing Christian doing voiceovers for cartoons, Panasonic and that online car sales service. He's really toned down the Nicholson tone in his voice and it's almost like somebody gave him a lobotomy.<BR/><BR/>A True Romance fan and a Crais fan? Sir, your taste is exceptional. My Missus got me into him too and Crais is like Connelly in that he can do no wrong in my book.<BR/><BR/>The Joe Pike book doesn't quite work for me even though I enjoyed it, only because he had too much dialogue.

It will be good to see Slater doing some work for a larger audience again. <BR/><BR/>You're right about True Romance. What a great script.<BR/><BR/>Are you a Robert Crais fan? My bride got me reading the Elvis Cole stories a while ago. I always wanted to be Joe Pike but I'm not nearly cool enough.
