Clear Two Nights on Your Calendar . . .

Rating: Null/10 (30 September 2004)

Some of Tarantino's work will stay with me forever . . (my last thought before I hit off the first tee is "We should have shotguns for this." - - "Stuck in the Middle" played as background for the garter ceremony at my daughter's wedding - - Every (M&L or A&A) shake is now a $5 shake). Even work that isn't his visually is trademarked in his writing (check out Dennis Hopper's history of the Italian people in "True Romance"). Some work, however, may not meant to last that long. KB1 (and 2) are delightfully enjoyable while the film runs, but disappear almost as quickly as the screen goes dark following the credits. I waited to watch both in a back-to-back but ended up with a 24 hour interruption. Perfect. I'd suggest this M.O. to anyone who hasn't seen the movie(s) and hasn't been talked out of seeing them. Keep the remote handy when the scene shifts to the House of Blue Leaves (KB1) . . the tracking shot into the Ladies' Room is worth a rewind.
