And it's a film that has Tarantino in it, but isn't a Tarantino film. I do like it, however, but then again I like most of the stuff that Robert Rodriguez does and I usually prefer it to Tarantino's output. -- Morini Corsaro 125 | CB450K4 | XL250 Motosport | 900SSD | R1150RT Laverda SF2 | Harley FXD BOTAFOF #33 TWA#10 The UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.net/faq/index.html "Je profite du paysage" - Joe Bar

More significantly, QT wrote it, and it's his writing style which I guess I really like. True Romance (which I love) always feels like a QT film to me, tho he 'just' wrote the screenplay, and it was directed by Tony Scott. -- Champ What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger ZX10R | GPz750turbo | GSX-R600 racer (for sale) | ZX10R racer (broken) neal at champ dot org dot uk

I saw it when it was first shown at the Evening Standard Film Festival in Leicester Square[1]. It's the only time I've ever been to the cinema where someone has walked out in front of the screen prior to the showing and introduced the film. Anyway, they talked a little about QT and then a bit about the making of the film. They also stated that the film would not go on general release[2] and would have a limited run in some cinemas. I'm not sure what prompted the later release and success of it. Maybe it was just the interest generated by word of mouth. I certainly remember getting back to the pub telling everyone what a fantastic film I'd just seen and that they'd never get to see it! [1] I saw a review of the films that were being shown in the ES and I had an afternoon off work. [2] I'm assuming now that they meant in the UK. -- Chris |
