As Real As It Gets



"Smack Tina Turner- give her flashbacks of Ike!" - The Notorious B.I.G

Two words: Classic Material. We all know the story. Boy Meets Girl. Boy Beats Girl. Girl Divorces Boy. That spanned about 20 years before it all came to an end in 1976. Then, Girl Takes Over World with Luscious Legs and Huge Hair. Perhaps you saw the tasteful headline
IKE 'BEATS' TINA TO DEATH And even if you didn't, you at least caught Larry...ahem...Laurence Fishburne's terrifying albeit comical interpretation of the myth and the legend. I can't wax poetic on blues music or domestic violence. I can however, certainly appreciate when a picture is worth 1000 words.
Laugh now. Cry later.
