More of a sequence than scene but still a pivotal moment in the movie. 

Poetic justice doesn't get much better than the pillowcase soda ass whooping scene in this one lol

Another  great Sean Penn flick. 

"Tommy, if you was to go in front of that grand jury, what would you say?" 

So many memorable scenes in this movie...and based on a true story, damn..smh.

This scene...

LOL...no worries about coming across as a sexist. I do enjoy testosterone immortalized through film for sure but I go through phases where I watch certain type of movies, then I'll get in the mood for other genres. I do like softer stuff too. For instance I just watched The Intern with DeNiro and Anna Hathaway and I really enjoyed it.

Yeah. Im like that too, i go through kind of intensive bouts of movies of a particular genre or starring a particular actor made by a certain director or whatever.

You know what, now that I think about it, I agree. It really hits the mark on everything doesn't it.

It pretty much catches 20th Century pop culture of that era (and makes some pretty astute observations about the future we're living right now too) that are spot on...aside from being an amazing movie thats REALLY well made, some super new film techniques, it also foreshadowed the whole using animation thing, just tons of stuff.  And it was banned over here too, it's just pure class though.  

And its all Oliver Stones work too, Tarantinos movie was meant to be focused on Wayne Gayle, the story of a guerilla journalist crew.

It really was different for the times. The thing with the animation, switching from color to black and white, warping someones face, they dont take away from what's happening in the film. It just keeps on rolling along. Like in Kill Bill, you can almost hear Tarantino yelling, ok people time for the big Japanimation scene! But for all the wild shit going on in NBK, nothing really feels out of place. Which is a big credit to Oliver Stone for pulling it off so smoothly.

And yeah, he nails some observations about society that really came to be.

Natural Born Killers is a film I loath. I remember my mate bringing a VHS copy back from his holiday in Orlando, as we had pretty big censorship in those days in Britain and this film was considered a 'video nasty' alongside your older Exorcists and Texas Chainsaw Massacres and such like. You usually had two methods of obtaining these films, either the 'dodgy geezer' route, or the 'mate on holiday in Florida' route. Anyhow, upon seeing it, I thought ''what a piece of shit''. Definitely a case of the 'chase' being 'better than the catch' in that instance.

(Weirdly Channel 5, then a new channel which seemed to devote most of its nascent period to screening Shannon Tweed soft pornography, somehow managed to screen it soon after, so a lot of people taped it at that time and had their own special 'Channel 5' version with added snow effects).

I do not really like Oliver Stone's films.

PS

My contribution,
