9 Aerosol Can Flamethrowers

by Doug Schultz

Patricia Arquette deservedly won an Oscar this past weekend for Boyhood, which reminded me of her even better performance in True Romance (featured during this year's #FThisMovieFest), a film in which she fends off Virgil (James Gandolfini) using a can of hairspray as a makeshift flamethrower. Here are some others examples of movies that include this improvised weapon.

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (July 22)

There's a great movie theater (nay, movie PALACE) near my house called The Patio. It just reopened after sitting empty for exactly 100 years (I didn't check that number), and it's showing second-run movies. Remember when there used to be a TON of second-run movie theaters sprinkled in amongst all the first-runs? Man, that was great. If you missed, say, Geronimo: An American Legend when it first came out in December 1993, you could always see it a month later for only a dollar or two. And, at that price, you could see it TWICE! Because maybe you fell asleep during it the first time! It's not your fault that you're a growing boy who had to wake up REALLY early that morning for a dumb speech tournament! Fast-forward a few years, and now everything costs $10 and goes away after a week if it doesn't have a huge opening weekend. Childhood: ruined [again]. ANYWAY, The Patio is great, and everyone in Chicago should check it out. I've been there twice now, most recently with JB (and his lovely wife, JB) to see Green Lantern. Boy. Oh. Boy. What a stinker! P.U., is what I'm saying! Here are trailers for three BETTER(?) movies:
