I might have seen natural born killers actually. Or some of it. Him trying to compete with Tarantino.
Natural Born Killers was based on a screenplay written by
Quentin Tarantino, in which a married couple suddenly decide to go on a
killing spree.
[6] Tarantino had sold an option for his script to producers
Jane Hamsher and
Don Murphy for $10,000 after he had tried, and failed, to direct it himself for $500,000.
[7] Hamsher and Murphy subsequently sold the screenplay to
Warner Bros. Around the same time,
Oliver Stone was made aware of the script. He was keen to find something more straightforward than his previous production,
Heaven & Earth (1993), a difficult shoot which had left him exhausted.

After Quentin Tarantino attempted to publish his original screenplay to
Natural Born Killers as a paperback book, as he had done with his scripts for
True Romance and his own directorial efforts,
Reservoir Dogs and
Pulp Fiction, the producers of
Natural Born Killers filed a lawsuit against Tarantino, claiming that when he sold the script to them, he had forfeited the publishing rights; eventually, Tarantino was allowed to publish his original script.

Tarantino disowned the film, saying, "I hated that fucking movie. If you like my stuff, don't watch that movie."
