Plot: A psychological-thriller in the haunting tradition of films like Taxi Driver and Monster, The Grief Tourist takes us into the chilling labyrinth of a man's dark hobby and his even darker mind. JIM TAHANA doesn't leave much of an impression when he passes you by. But look closer and you'll sense his hunger - the deep hunger of an insatiable American soul - always scanning to devour something - anything that might fill the searing, unexplained void within him. Jim obsesses over the hobby that has been part of his DNA since he was a young boy: grief tourism - the act of traveling with the intent to visit places of tragedy or disaster. Every year his week-long vacations from work are spent going to grief tourist locations in the lives of different serial killers he is fascinated with. This years obsession is Carl Marznap, a mass murder from New Orleans, Louisiana. But this trip is no ordinary vacation as Jim's rancid sexual impulses and weakening grip on reality deteriorate into a violent despair that will ultimately unlock an unspeakable secret festering within him, bringing The Grief Tourist to it's brutal and shocking finale...

Quotes:

The Hawk: And they call me "The Hawk."::Randy Van Stone: No, we don't. We call you "Hawk." Not "The Hawk." Just Hawk.::The Hawk: Yeah, but as a proper title, it should really be "The Hawk."::Randy Van Stone: I don't give a crap about proper. Dude, I'm the leader, I decide the nicknames, and I knighted you, "Hawk."::The Hawk: Yeah, but, there are rules to the English language and...::Randy Van Stone: I don't give a crap about England. The Bicentennial's over.

Mrs. Van Stone: Randy, Lonnie... You guys are 29. You're unemployed. You live at home. Don't you think if the "Rock Star Dream" was going to happen, it would've by now?::Lonnie Van Stone: It happened for you, didn't it?::Randy Van Stone: Yeah, you chased your "dream" for years and it finally came true.::Mrs. Van Stone: I don't consider making sweet love with Three Dog Night's road crew a life long dream come true... It was just more like a fantasy. A wonderful, wonderful fantasy.::Randy Van Stone: ...I was talking about your dream of finally becoming a Licensed Registered Nurse.::Mrs. Van Stone: Oh yeah, that too.

The Hawk: Maybe your mom's right...?::Lonnie Van Stone: No way! We're never gonna give up our rock-and-roll dreams!::The Hawk: No, no, no... Your mom's right it would be an ultimate fantasy to tag-bang a groupie.

Lt. Perry: In any case, there are a few stipulations you'll need to agree...::Lonnie Van Stone: Understood. Would you two gentlemen excuse us for a minute... Dude, I think we should have a band meeting about this.::Randy Van Stone: You know what, dude? I'm five minutes older than you, okay? That makes me the leader of the band. I make the decisions...

Lt. Perry: Excellent. You will need to report to Camp Pendleton for departure at fifteen-hundred hours, tomorr...::Randy Van Stone: Fifteen-hundred hours?::Lonnie Van Stone: That's like a month away!::Lt. Perry: No, it's tomorrow afternoon. Fifteen-hundred hours is military time for three p.m. standard.::Lonnie Van Stone: You managed to fit fifteen-hundred hours into a one day? Right.::Randy Van Stone: Dude, don't embarrass me in front of the U.S. Army. If they can make Stealth planes invisible, they can figure out how to alter the Time-Space Continuum... Dumbass.

Me and the guys take weekends off, party south of the border. So we're at this donkey show. I'm like fifty beers in, getting started, watchin' this Mexican chick gag as she tea-bags the mule balls. The donkey was about to blow it's load all over this chick's bosoms... You know the thing about a Donkey, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. Then those black eyes roll over white. Hee-Haw! And it's cleans up in aisle three... All of a sudden, I feel this guy pushing me. Push push push. I look around. This little Vietnamese businessman and he's all "you please move, I can't see." Or some bullshit like that. So I start giving him a piss polish on his shoes and I don't know this must've gotten lost in translation, he gets all upset, right? He starts punching and kicking.::Lonnie Van Stone: Wow, so they broke a bottle over your head or something?::Gary Seibert's Dad: What? No, fuck no. I got out of there. I'm a lover, not a fighter. Got out of there as quick I could. Not a scratch on me.::Randy Van Stone: But what about the scar? You said you got it fightin' the Vietnamese.::Gary Seibert's Dad: Yeah I must've been fucked up when I said that... Good luck, kids.

And then Manowar beat Motorhead, remember?::Lonnie Van Stone: Twice. But then Overkill beat Manowar.::Randy Van Stone: What? No way, dude, Manowar holds the record for World's Loudest Band.::Lonnie Van Stone: Overkill beat Manowar during a soundcheck at the Meadowlands in New Jersey in 1991.::Randy Van Stone: Listen to yourself, bro. Sound check. That's not even a performance. It doesn't count.::Lonnie Van Stone: Whatever dude. Overkill beat Manowar at a thousand decibels.::Randy Van Stone: I'm telling you, Manowar holds the record for the World's Loudest Band at 999 decibels.::Lonnie Van Stone: No way, bro.

Perry: No, not at all.::The Hawk: So, if I'm not in the Army... How did I defuse this explosive device?::Lt. Perry: Sergeant! Fire in the hole!

Perry: Oh the, uh, the troops? Um, oh, well, we thought it wouldn't be fair to all the troops if only a few of the troops got to see you.

Yeah, spy cam stuff. It's really, really, nifty. I'm gonna take off. I'm gonna go over here.
