> Would it be too much to ask for the drug dealers in movies to be neatly and conservatively dressed?

We were listening to a radio review of 2 Fast 2 Furious 2 Stupid 2 Enjoy this morning. Apparently, part of the plot that doesn't involve cars moving really fast has to do with some guys taking down a drug baron. I wonder if drug barons and drug dealers ever go to movies and get depressed with the way they're always depicted. Or perhaps they go there and criticize the movie for getting things wrong, sort of like how someone in the Army might criticize a movie set in the military where people have hair just a bit too long or officers wearing hats indoors or a full bird colonel with the bird facing the wrong way.

"You don't shoot the guy in the back of the head," the drug kingpin shouts at the silver screen. "You shoot him between the eyes, so the last thing he sees is you pulling the trigger! Freakin' Hollywood! Always screwing up the details!"
