I particularly was amused by the sections evaluating
consumer
goods sandwiched between the mayhem.
I had the same reaction to much of Resevoir Dogs. I though

I'm going to be in Greenville, S.C. tomorrow (Sunday) for a
signing
with 35 writers, primarily crime fiction writers. It's at a
Barnes and
Noble. Don't know who the others will be.
Please warn the citizens of that fair city to hide all the
sharp
implements during the middle of the day while I'm
there.
