    Well, I guess Musk is serious about not censoring X. My goodness, so much going on there. The map, the crappy video quality, the wife, the dog barking, the mask. Going to be tough to top that tweet for Tweet of the Year. Good thing we have 11 months to try! :p:eek::confused::rolleyes:

    Rollins was the punk rock Dwight Yoakam in 1990s movies.

    Just discovering this thread and was like man it doesn't qualify as deceptively dark, but there's no more surprisingly dark ending than The Last American Virgin. Glad to see it get some love here. What a wild ending.

    The mention of the original Bruce Willis vehicle reminded me of the terribly trashy and underrated "The Last Boy Scout," which ends with a giant shootout at a football stadium and a guy falling from the roof into a helicopter. Sure, Bruce did a jig of joy atop the stadium and creepy NFL owner Sheldon Marcone (MISTER Marcone @DanielSimpsonDay) got his when he was blown up a little while later, but what about all the people in the stadium who saw that carnage? And what about the millions of fans who saw that running back commit three murders on the field before killing himself in the end zone at the start of the movie? How will people ever watch pro football the same? They'll definitely think of how the sausage gets made now!

    "Water's wet. The sky is blue. And old Satan Claus, Jimmy, he's out there, and he's just getting stronger."

    I don't know what it says about me that I remember that shit, but it probably isn't good.

    Joe to the friend he found in his wife's closet: "It was an accident, right? You tripped, slipped on the floor and accidentally stuck your dick in my wife."

    Wife: "I was lonely."
    Joe: "Get a dog."

    Until we started down this tangent, I forgot that the villains' scheme involved legalizing sports betting. Oops. lol

    That whole fucking thing plays out like a documentary now.

    And what a script that was. I think Shane Black got more than a million bucks for it (in 1990 money!) after Lethal Weapon. Guy can write dialogue.

    I didn't remember that Shane Black wrote it, but I'm not at all surprised. It was very much his style, for good and ill.
