I can't remember if I told this story here before or not.
Every Friday was movie night in jail, and during the day they would post the movie to be viewed later that night on the wall. So I head over to check out the movie listing for the night and I see 'True Romance.' which I had never heard of. I was like, "what the fuck," I couldn't have been more disappointed, as we had a new influx of hash and valium on the range and everybody was fired up for a fun Friday night, but they are going to show us some fucking chick flick. Is this some kind of a joke?
Anyhow, the movie starts and it seems to take the entire room by surprise. Imagine how elated we all were as this movie progressed, and before we knew it we were completely submersed in what turned out to be one of the greatest, most memorable movie experiences of my life.
Most memorable was the scene towards the end of the movie when they had the big showdown in the hotel room/condo (whatever it was) between the mob guys, the cops, and the good guys (if I remember correctly). At one point........wahtever lead up to it, I don't recall, but one of the big fuckers stands up and screams "BECAUSE I HATE FUCKING COPS!!!" and starts shooting...............well let me tell you something, that fucking tv room full of inmates just erupted!! The three correctional officers sitting in chairs at the back of the room looked entirely uncomfortable, and I'm sure they were wondering who in the fuck picked this movie for the inmates.
That was a good night, as far as nights in jail go, and that movie will always hold a place near and dear to my heart.
