omniscient, mindless TV network, RBTV, which will hypnotize the

Get
Shorty (1995)
This slick adaptation of Elmore
Leonard's 1990 novel features John Travolta as Chili Palmer, a
Miami loan shark who's been sent to L.A. to collect on a bad debt
from trash movie producer Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman), the maker of
the stunning flops "Grotesque" and "Slime
People." But this is Harry's lucky day, because Chili is also
a film buff, and when he’s done talking tough he starts pitching
Harry a script idea. As everyone knows, the best background for
the motion picture industry is the criminal underworld, and Chili
is smoothly launched into the life of a producer: romancing a
B-movie scream queen, schmoozing superstars, getting reservations
in the hottest restaurants in town. However, Chili's not the only
mobster wanting to turn producer. It seems that a thug named Bo
Catlett (Delroy Lindo), another of Harry's lenders, also wants a
piece of the action. Add in a group of angry drug smugglers and
there is an abundance of double- and triple-crosses, as well as
plenty of wisecracks and Hollywood insider jokes. GET SHORTY
crosses the line of life imitating art--and vice versa--many
times, including the real Ernest "Chili" Palmer (on whom
the character is based) playing a Mafia henchman. Barry
Sonnenfeld's entertaining romp is a wild look at the celebrity
life in Hollywood, featuring numerous cameos of stars playing
themselves.
