The epic Eddie Romero (spoilers)


Shoot him with a shotgun, he walks away.

Stab him in the face with a syringe, he don't care.

Shoot him with a gun, tie him up and drag him down concrete stairs, he plays possum, but he's really OK.

What a guy.

But then, just when he's about to get his dues, his heart gives out... A classic greek tradegy, really.


When I'm gone I would like something to be named after me. A psychiatric disorder, for example.

Actually, it was a classic Greek comedy. Tragedy, e.g., Hamlet, places the protagonist in what is literally an impossible situation and then takes his full measure by showing how close he comes to reaching his goal. He fails, but we are inspired by his effort and his reach (which exceeds his grasp). Comedy, conversely, puts the protagonist in a situation that is completely within his control, and he fucks it up. Eddie's heart attacked him because he was taking too many pills. He had total control over Sarah and Billy, and his personal flaws fucked him up. Hilarious๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜†

This video was pure pulp trash. I loved it๐Ÿ˜ˆ
