I watched From Dusk till Dawn last night with Dom. I don’t think I had seen it before, but it proved to be a complete joy. It’s written by Quentin Tarantino, and was a clear demonstration that he is truly one of the all time great film makers. I don’t want to give anything away, but I loved how half way through the plot, the film you think you’re watching completely changes it’s tone and even genre, in a way totally different to any other mainstream film. What begins as one type of film essentially suddenly morphs into another in a way I found very cool indeed.

Going back to this entry from a few days ago though, it predictably made me wonder: if a well established director like Danny Boyle can direct the London 2012 Opening Ceremony, what’s to stop Tarantino directing the one of LA28? Just think about it! How awesome would it be to watch a magnificent world ceremony involving thousands of people, performing before us all, directed by the man who gave us Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs? Just imagine what he could do on such an enormous stage. It’s obviously only a vague dream right now, but the prospect that he could – that it could even be possible – strikes me as just to exciting not too note here. Mind you, more to the point, you have to wonder what he might do in relation to the current political state of affairs there.
