Although I wished it were me, Asher sighted Quentin Tarantino this weekend at the restaurant he works at. He was having a quick drink before seeing Superbad at the Mann's Chinese 6 and then came back after seeing it.
So jealous.
I don't know if I did have the chance to see him if I would have said anything. I loved Pulp Fiction, I loved Kill Bill Volume 1. More importantly I love the fact that he introduced me to one of my favorite directors of all time, Wong Kar Wai . Through Tarantino's now defunct distribution company, Rolling Thunder pictures, QT gave a few unknown directors their chance at American audiences. One of those directors was Wong Kar Wai and his film Chungking Express. Every year since that fateful day in 2000, I have watched Chungking Express every year on my birthday.
All of WKW's movies are beautiful to watch and I have a good chunk of his movies in my personal library. I can't wait for My Blueberry Nights to come out this winter.
Thank you QT.
