“If there’s one thing this last week has taught me, it’s better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.” A young unknown by the name of Quentin Tarantino sold his script for True Romance for the union set minimum of $50.000 and saw his ‘lovers on the run’ pic make it fairly intact (except for the ending) to the big screen. Tony Scott’s visual flair and obvious affection for theatrical violence blends perfectly with QT’s popping dialogue, delivered by a seemingly never ending parade of talent including Brad Pitt as the stoner couch potato, Val Kilmer as Elvis, Gary Oldman as a dreadlocked pimp and James Gandolfini as, well, a ruthless mobster. But Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper take the cake in their hilariously politically incorrect war of words concerning Sicilian heritage. A true classic. English language without subtitles.
Sunday October 15th: Boozy Breakfast: True Romance (1993) On the final day of our birthday bash weekend it’s time to serve up a very special boozy breakfast with chef Kick’s bombastic breakfast burger accompanied by a brimming Bloody Margaret that will get you in the mood for the kick-off feature of our ‘Take Me… to 1993’ retrospective, True Romance. A buttery brioche, spicy mayo, caramelized onion, hash brown, burgerpatty, cheese, bacon, the creamiest eggs, tomato salsa. And a Bloody Margaret to go with it. This cocktail is a rich blend of tasty tomato juice, gin and our homemade fruity, spicy, and funky NIKO’s nectar hot sauce. To wake up the senses and to cure that hangover of yours! DJ Planty Herbs will provide some tunes. As a connoisseur of a wide range of rare grooves, he especially likes to select tunes for open minded small crowds.
