Last weekend, the Harvard Advocate sponsored four showings of "Reservoir Dogs," Tarantino's 1992 debut. Seven hundred people attended that screening, according to Jessie K. Liu '95, a member of the Advocate.
Tarantino has been invited to Harvard twice. He canceled a scheduled appearance in April, and declined an invitation to appear in person last night, according to Bruce C. Posner, an assistant to the curator of the Film Archives.
Rich Molson, a Dartmouth senior, said he came in hopes of seeing Tarantino in person.
Molson and two of his friends came from Hanover for the screening.
Tarantino was not there, but Molson said that it was still worth the trip.

"Then again, anything's worth it to get out of the mountains," Molson added
