Eh. Maybe there's another George P. who spells his name
differently. Maybe this George P. doesn't use hackneyed
phrases like "He cut his eyes at blah blah blahdeblah." Maybe
this other George P. doesn't employ shop-worn, easily
telegraphed "plot twists." One example of what this other
George P. might not do wrong is to have the hick drug mule
with Little Man-Big Gun Complex catch the heel of his
high-heeled elevator boots on the rail running along the
home-made bar in his Virginia barn just as he's about to
quick-draw shoot it out with one of the heroes, thereby
"ironically" ruining said drug mule's aim, and condemning him
to a quick death at the hands of the affore-mentioned
hero.
On second thought, what are the odds?
