Kubrick references in True Romance?

Clarence: If you want my movie, you're gonna have to come to terms with your fear and desire.

Donowitz: Uh-huh. Fear and desire, huh, Clarence?

"Elvis" (in the mirror): I like you, Clarence. Always have. Always will.

I don't suppose they eh… told you anything in Denver about the tragedy we had in the Kubrick community?

JACK

I don't believe they did.

ULLMAN

Well, my predecessor in this job hired a man named Charles Grady, as the winter caretaker. He came up here with his wife and two little girls of about eight or ten. And he had a good employment record, good references and from what I've been told, I mean, he seemed like a completely normal individual. But at some point during the winter, he must have suffered some kind of a complete mental breakdown.

He ran amok and eh... started publishing on the Internet that Kubrick faked the Apollo Moon Landing.

The people in the community eh… they thought that it was what the old-timers used to call being hopelessly lost, which can occur when people mistake their own fantasy for reality.

JACK

Well, that is eh quite a story.

CUT TO:

M.S. ULLMAN laughs.

ULLMAN

Yes, it is. Oh, it's still hard for me to believe that it actually happened on the Internet, but it did and eh… I think you can appreciate why I wanted to tell you about it.
