Very interesting. This is going to affect my reading habits in the next week.
I wonder if QT was influenced at all by Crash. The sadistic sexual and murderous vibe in Death Proof reminds me of what I have read so far about Crash. It is on the way from my Netflix account and I will be viewing it (Crash) this weekend.
