ReplyDeleteI saw the "shot up" car that Bonnie and Clyde had their last stand. That image has stayed with me forever!
ReplyDeleteI love that shot triple Bonnie shot
ReplyDeleteHere, because I dig your style, I'd like to let you in on something: For the most entertaining 5 minutes of Faye Dunaway you'll ever see, cue up Supergirl and Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game.' After Selena uses the Omegahedron to make herself princess of Earth - in the scene just before Helen Slater gets sent to the Phantom Zone...
At the exact moment when Supergirl flies threw the double door and enters Faye's evil lair, kill the volume and start the song. It will blow your mind into the next dimension, I promiss.
Oh wait, this is even better. Since VHS is hard to find, and I can't spell queue tonight:
