I <3 HDNet Movies

True Romance Poster Okay, for all I know they probably don’t have the biggest catalog, but HDNet Movies has made a big impression on me over the last couple of weeks. First it was just the delight of seeing Salma Hayek in After the Sunset. Then it was being reintroduced to The Rundown.

Did I mention the movies are uninterrupted (c.f. the suckage of IFC)? Unmodified? Except for the occasional, tastefully displayed HDNet Movies logo. Letterboxed, to boot, so no pan and scan.

But the closer is that somebody in the programming department thought today would be a great day for a Quentin Tarantino double bill: Pulp Fiction and True Romance. Yeah, I know Tony Scott directed True Romance, but Tarantino wrote the script and Scott retained most of Tarantino’s crime, violence, and dialogue oeuvre. It’s essentially a Tarantino film.

Brilliant. Two of my favorite films of all time, and Pulp Fiction is in my top 3.

Set DVRs to stun.
