TRUE ROMANCE. 1993. Tarantino wrote it. Tony Scott shot it. The poster hangs on my studio wall today. One of my favorite films. Clarence at the sink. The gold jacket over his shoulder, half a face in the mirror, talking low. "I like you… always have, always will." Kilmer isn't even credited as Elvis — the estate wouldn't have it, so the credits just say "Mentor." Eight hours in the makeup chair for two days of work. A mirror, a silhouette, and a voice. Best cameo of the decade. And Scott never lets the violence off the hook. Every bullet in that picture has a receipt attached. Blood on the wallpaper, a father in a chair, a kid who wanted to be Elvis. That's the job — make it cost something. Thirty-three years on. Still holds. What's the scene that stuck to you? #TrueRomance# #TonyScott# #ValKilmer# #Tarantino# #FilmCraft# #IrishChannelStudios#
