True Romance was better directed than most of Tarantino's own efforts though. <br /><br />As for Queen, I both disagree and see your point.

There are probably still homophobic Smiths fans who insist Morrissey hasn't ever had a gay thought either.Rolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103804480646939038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18775356.post-23000712109869812902012-08-21T09:18:32.998+01:002012-08-21T09:18:32.998+01:00An old GF of mine developed a "thing" fo...An old GF of mine developed a "thing" for men in flight suits because of Top Gun - she wanted me to wear one. I tried to complete the fantasy by telling her about the time I bombed a children's hospital and claimed it was a chemical weapons factory to avoid being dragged into the Hague, but apparently that wasn't sexy any more. <br />LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796019564156060962noreply@blogger.com
