This may sound cynical or disparaging, but I honestly believe that Quentin Tarantino, who knows how to write flamboyant shitkicker dialogue better than anyone, could take this news story and make a feature from it. He could cast some gone-to-seed exploitation actress from the ’80s as Jeanette Morris, and Michael Parks as Michael Anderson. He’s a master at dragging scenes out interminably. He could easily make this story into a 95-minute film. And doing this would get him out of the historical revenge rut he’s in. I’m perfectly serious. It would be good.
