I hope its worth it. I debated renting it first since I bought Natural Born Killers and was terribly disappointed but I saw the special edition, had a twenty in my pocket, and from there, there is no stopping me.

I personally love this movie! the fight scene between Alabama Whitman(Patricia Arquette) and Virgil (James Gandolfini) is the best part of the movie for me.
I liked the movie alot. Was definitely worth my money. One question, why weren't the Val Kilmer as Elvis scenes cut? Was it because it was Val Kilmer or because they actually thought that played an important role in the movie. It would make more sense if he talked to him more often but Val was only in it twice.

elvis is referenced all the way through it (one guys t-shirt has him on, the magazine article the guys reading, the bust of him) and then the final line of the film relates to him too so they kept them in.
I know he was referred to alot. But Elvis plays no importance to the storyline so I don't see why they needed him to be in Slater's head every once in a while. BTW: Val Kilmer didn't necessarily do the best Evis impression either.

I think QT did that because it's a spirit (second opinion) talking to Clarence. It might be the recycling of the old plays by Shakespear like Hamlet and Macbeth, sort of showing the darker side to Clarence. Becuase if you notice when Elvis appears and gives advice its always doing the "wrong" thing but for the "right" cause.
