I'm afraid Reservoir Dogs annoyed me on first viewing. I just couldn't understand why all my (mostly guy) friends were so crazy for it. But then, Pulp Fiction rocked my world, so I went back and gave RD another try. I liked it a lot better the second time around. Since then, I've liked everything I've seen from Tarentino, with the recent (and strong) exception of Death Proof.

As much as I've appreciated what Quentin has brought to the cultural picnic table, I've found most of the imitators irritating, and have occasionally rued the influence QT has had on his peers.

Oh, and I loved Blue Velvet so much, I've been afraid to revisit it, lest it turn out not to hold up.
