And so, we two, redoubtable film connoiserus that we are, agree. ;)
One other thing that makes Tarantino special: his understanding of his actors' abilities and on-screen personae. He rescued Travola's career. And his resurrrection of Micheal Parks in KILL BILL was inspired -- not to mention David Carradine (sp?). Has Christoper Walken ever been better than in THE WATCH scene in PULP FICTION?
