OK, so, here's the thing about Three Kings. Many years ago, a number of us went to a convention—I think it was KatsuCon in DC—and, as cash-poor twentysomethings are wont to do, we all packed into one hotel room—Zoner, me, Truss, and Rat, if memory serves. Friday night, after the long trip down there and rounding up some dinner, we were all looking forward to getting some much-needed sleep.

Or, well, three of us were. The fourth decided his preferred course of action at 2 o'clock on Saturday morning in a strange city was to buy Three Kings on the SpectraVision.

So, yeah, I've seen Three Kings, and I'm not likely to forget it. And the only reason Zoner is still alive is because the rest of us were too tired to actually bother murdering him.

(I did miss or forget the guest appearance by the Weird Revolver, though. I can't really claim to have watched most of the film; it was just unavoidably within my sphere of experience, if you follow the distinction...)

Indeed. Or, occasionally, the same gun, if the IP changes hands in the bankruptcy.
