And so for several years, I avoided “From Dusk Till Dawn” because, well, I’ve never once enjoyed a vampire movie. Vampire movies, along with their related werewolf, mummy, and Frankenstein-monster movies, weren’t all that appealing to me. Of course, exceptions were made for large monsters, such as Godzilla. But in general, vampires suck - pun intended. And don’t get me started on the whole Ann Rice crap and sub-culture of wannabe-real vampires.
Anyway. Once I sat down and watched “From Dusk Till Dawn,” I again became a True Believer in All Things Tarantino. The scene when Tarantino (as the actor) turned into a vampire and was snuffed by his loving brother - you just know that QT had been living for that moment his whole life. And yes, I know that Rodriguez directed FDTD, but it has QT all over it, so it’s also considered a QT flick. better living movies Random

QT and RR have a film they did together that’s coming soon called “Grindhouse’. It’s described as a seventies horror movie experience, with two films around 45 minutes, plus made up trailers to bad seventies flicks. This could be fun!

I own FDTD on video; great flick! Surprised?

If I didn’t know better I’d say you were adopted. Dusk to Dawn is without question the WORST movie ever made.

[…] Let’s see, what else…oh, I did walk out of “Pulp Fiction” - believe it or not. It had just been released, and me and the Missus decided to check it out. When Marvin got shot in the face, we just sort of blanched, looked at each other, and got up and left. Of course, when the movie was released on video I picked it up and determined that I would see it all the way through, to figure out why so many people had raved about it…and thank goodness I did, because the final scene redeemed everything that had gone before, and I finally understood, and I was thus converted into a True QT Believer. aliens tarantino walking out of a movie war of the rosesShare and Enjoy:These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.
