It's been hyped up right across the known world for the last 4500 years, and still standing up to it.

Whilst i'm sure King would say thankee-sai, there are plenty other books worth our time. And I say that as a huge Tower fan.

Quentin Tarantino

This is a good answer.

[/ QUOTE ]

If by "good" you mean "horrible" and by "live up to the hype" you mean "fantastically overrated and hackish".

[/ QUOTE ]
I won't start a discussion here about Tarantino films, but I really do think his work lives up to the hype. Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown were all way above my expectations and I still think they are some of the best movies in my collection. No one can write dialogue like he can.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't remember there being a BLT in any Tarantino film to date.
