We love the movie True Romance.
It’s a cult classic and if you like it’s great soundtrack, stupendous cast & script,
you’ll love this behind the scenes stories from the making of the film.

Quentin Tarentino at his best, Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper, Christian Slater, Rosanna Arquette, Brad Pitt, and the fantastic Gary Oldham as the evil Drexl…. it doesn’t get much better!

GREAT ARTICLE HERE

trueRomance_article01.jpgOn September 10, 1993, a major motion Picture—penned by future hotshot Quentin Tarantino, directed by action pro Tony Scott, and starring Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette—hit theaters with a brash fusion of stylized violence and whip-smart dialogue. It bombed. But True Romance was born again when it was released on video, achieving cult status among film geeks, rock stars, and regular Joes who got hip to Tarantino after 1994’s Pulp Fiction. Now, on the iconic flick’s 15th anniversary, you’d never guess the saga of an Elvis-obsessed loner who marries a hooker and flees to California with her pimp’s cocaine, was anything but a Hollywood hit. A few of its scenes—cue the Chris­topher Walken, Dennis Hopper face-off—are held in mythic esteem. We corralled the stars and creators to reconstruct the secret historyof True Romance—the production screwups, the on-set madness, and the sex and violence that reverberate so strongly to this day.

Fireworks and the philharmonic kicked off a five-day birthday bash for the Brooklyn Bridge Thursday night.
Revelers lined the banks of the East River to celebrate the iconic span’s 125th year as a vital link between Brooklyn and Manhattan.
“In the city that never sleeps, it’s still the bridge of our dreams,” Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz told a cheering crowd Thursday night at Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park beneath the granite and steel Gothic structure.
Mayor Bloomberg was on hand to introduce Markowitz, who wore a turn-of-the-century bowler hat and ruffled shirt.
“She never looked as good,” Bloomberg said of the bridge, lit up in special colorful lights that will shine from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. through Memorial Day.
As the sun set, the Brooklyn Philharmonic performed in the shadow of the engineering marvel. Composer Marvin Hamlisch serenaded the crowd with a special song he wrote for the bridge’s birthday, but flubbed the lyrics, singing the span was built in 1893.
Designed by John Roebling, the bridge cost $15 million, took 13 years to build and opened May 24, 1883.
Alizette Llanoc said the celebration was extra swell because she celebrated her 10th birthday Wednesday.
“It’s me and the bridge,” said the Public School 295 fourth-grader as fireworks shot from river barges filled the sky. “This is part of my birthday celebration, too. We rock!”
The five-day celebration will feature a string of activities, including walking tours of the bridge and an outdoor film series at Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park.
