    Watched at a midnight showing at the Music Box theater for Valentine's Day weekend. Still love it all, the dialogue and performances are so engaging and every time a new character pops up you just get that burst of excitement, almost like opening up a new present every 20 minutes. You can feel the bones of Pulp Fiction in a movie like this, with the odd scenes and eccentric dialogue. Still highly recommended.
