From Dusk Til Dawn walked so that Sinners could soar

Until the day I die, I’ll never forget waking up in the middle of the night as a kid to see From Dusk Till Dawn flickering on the living room TV. I came to right as the Fuller family was being kidnapped by Seth (George Clooney) and Richie Gecko (Quentin Tarantino), two fugitives racing toward the Mexican border in the family’s motor home. I knew instantly I was watching something I probably shouldn’t have been at that age — between the nonstop cursing, sexual undertones, and sudden bursts of violence — but I was completely hooked. A few scenes later, the movie pulled the rug out from under me.
