kurt thanks him in the liner notes to in utero. how did he meet him. i know courtney used his oscar to attack some journalist before but that was after in utero came out. did kurt know him before he made pulp fiction and reservoir dogs?

kurt thanked the goddess demeter too, and i'm pretty sure he never met her. i think he just appreciated quentin's movies– however many he made at that point– and thanked him for it. of course it's entirely possible they met, but i think we would have heard about it somewhere if a friendship had been formed.

there's a segment of this site called "nirvana in movies/tv" or something like that. you can find the link at the main page. it sais the following:


    in the pulp fiction movie soundtrack nirvana is thanked. i know they weren't in the movie or anything, but its a soundtrack for a movie and i thought that would count. [i believe quentin tarantino, who created 'pulp fiction', was a friend of kurt ... nfc. here is some more info about that courtesy of james emmons: nirvana were big fans of quentin tarantino, and vice versa. nirvana had personally asked him if they could have a song in the movie and tarantino said that they could. however, after shooting the film he realized he couldn't find a good place to put a nirvana song (therefore they couldn't be featured on the soundtrack). instead, tarantino put them in the "thanks" section. interestingly, quentin tarantino's name is spelled "tarentino" in the in utero "thank you" section. i'm not sure why it was spelled the wrong way (probably just an error by the band)]

    iain added the following comment about the pulp fiction thing:
    reading over this i recalled that quentin tarantino's name is mentioned in the 'special thanks' in the in utero fold-out part (near the end of the list).


tarantino is one of my favorite directors.

had nirvana a certain song in mind for the movie, or were they going to write one especically for it, or was tarentino just going to pick an existing song?
