Q: Quentin Tarantino *90's Pop Culture Favorites* #AtoZchallenge
I know, I know, I know---Tarantino transcends decades, but it was the 90's when the general public was first introduced to the genius of his writing and directing.
Lots of you met him in Reservoir Dogs in 1992, but I'm a lightweight with violence, so I didn't arrive to the Tarantino party until '94 with Pulp Fiction. I almost walked out of the theater at one point..."Bring out the gimp" to be precise about which point...but I stuck it out and after sleeping on it, I awoke the next day with the realization of what a treasure this movie is. Nobody mixes humor and grittiness and violence and cinematography and storytelling and characterization and everything as poetically as the Q-man does.

Happy AZing...

we lost many good people in the 90s...

I was a little too young for Reservoir Dogs -- I was 12 and didn't hear about it until after Pulp Fiction was released. When I saw the PF trailer I thought Wth is this? but my curiosity got the better of me and I went to see it. It was like the most amazing movie experience ever. I had to see it 2 more times, incl. once with my mom (she hated it)
So, um, yeah...big QT fan over here. I've seen all of his movies and they are so damn good. The 90's was prob. his signature decade though.
Another awesome post! You're definitely one of my favorite A to Z bloggers this year :)
