I wasn't crazy about FDTD either (except for the fact that it's another nail in 
the coffin of Quentin Tarantino's career), but the film *does* have a cult 
following, and it's subject matter (rampaging Mexican vampires) does make it the 
kind of film appropriate for "Midnight Movie" status. I'd like to see more 
classics at these late night shows as opposed to stuff that only recently wore out 
its welcome in theatres and on video.

Well, that's not always the case, now that they have heat. Besides, how many 
theatres will answer complaints directly or take movie suggestions seriously? WW's 
gets requests for late-night shows, and then the people who ask for certain films 
never show up! Don't get me started...
