Never touch a man's hat

Wild Bill

(1995)
I'm willing to concede that this might have been better actually R-rated and uninterrupted instead of AMC-edited and commercial-break-riddled (I calculate that at least 20 of the 115 theatrical minutes must have been lost), but that could hardly have made the interminable assassination-tease sequence bearable. From what I could see, the only thing worth watching was Jeff Bridges's struggle to make something from a bloodless (which is not to say unbloody) script.

I stopped watching most movies on AMC years ago when they started with all the commercials. 4 minutes of movie, 5 minutes of commercials.
