      American native black humor

      I have always liked John Taravolta for no reason, although he is slightly fat, and the edges and corners are not as clear as the current mainstream. I checked the information today and found out that he is also an Aquarius.

      He was very fond of his vulgar novels before, American black humor, always with endless chattering, reasonable bizarre plots, and a happy reunion.

      Before going to bed last night, when I first saw this film, I thought it would be a bad film that would...

      A Gay Hitman

      James Gandolfini, the New Jersey Mafia in HBO's "The Sopranos", plays a gay hitman in this film.

      The 85% rating on Rotten Tomato is enough to prove the excellence of this film.

      "Until now. Get Shorty serves up Leonard in grand style. There are a few broad strokes, and the stew could have used a dash more menace and sexual simmer. "

      John Travolta: Never thought he was so fucking

      In fact, compared to Get Shorty, I seem to be more impressed by Be Cool. However, I don't remember the specific impression, I only know that the movie is still quite interesting. I don't remember whether it was Get Shorty or Be Cool first, but I know that as long as it is a movie in which John Travolta participates, it will never be boring. So with this mentality, I watched Get Shorty.

      Since the beginning, it was so suspenseful. Because of a coat, Chili (John Travolta) and Ray had a...

      Hollywood was trampled under the feet of gangsters

      The showbiz has always been in touch with the underworld, I believe it is already a well-known secret. It can not be said that behind all the shining stars on the red carpet is a boss with a gold necklace of chopsticks and a cigar, but occasionally he respectfully calls such characters "* brother" and "* master" in high-end restaurants. No one can escape laughing and socializing.
      The underworld is a great white shark that can never eat enough. As long as it can eat, he has to rush forward...

      Gangsters in real life and movies

      It's actually an old film from 1995. I thought it was from 2007. It does not mean to belittle the old film, because the taste is always new, and the classic techniques of the old film are repeatedly plagiarized by the new film, which can easily cause aesthetic fatigue.
          Several protagonists know nothing except the man in "Broken Arrow". The biggest feature of the film is the introduction of the play in the play. The play is always told in the play. Later, it is discovered that the two...

    Movie quotes

    • Chili Palmer: Martin, look at me.

      Martin: I'm looking at you.

      Chili Palmer: No, I want you to look at me the way I'm looking at you. Put it in your eyes, 'You're mine, asshole,' without saying it.

      Martin: Like this?

      [heavy lidded eyes]

      Chili Palmer: What you're telling me, you're tired? You wanna go to bed?

      Martin: Wait. How about this?

      [squints]

      Chili Palmer: Now you're squinting like you need glasses.

      Martin: Well, what are you getting...

      Chili Palmer: Look at me. What I'm thinking is, 'You're mine. I fuckin' own you.' But what I'm not doing is feeling anything about it one way or the other. You understand? You're not a person to me, you're a name in my collection book, a guy owes me money, that's all.

      [Martin does the look once again]

      Chili Palmer: Whoah.

      Karen Flores: He's... he's good.

      Chili Palmer: You nailed it.

      Martin: [guttural] That's what I think of you, asshole. Nothing.

      Chili Palmer: That's why you're Martin Weir.

    • Chili Palmer: Look, I didn't come down to sunny Florida to freeze my ass. You follow me? You get the coat back or you give me the three seventy-nine dollars my ex-wife paid for it at Alexander's.

    • Chili Palmer: You know, Welles didn't even want to do this movie. But he had some studio contract he couldn't get out of. Sometimes you do your best work when you got a gun to your head.
