When someone mentions Quentin Tarantino what comes to your mind?

"Kill Bill?" Of course.

"Pulp Fiction." The best.

"American Idol?" Huh?

Well, it should.

The director, who makes no bones about being a big fan of the reality show, makes his second appearance on "Idol" tonight.

Tarantino first appeared on the show during season three, when he praised Jennifer Hudson and eventual winner Fantasia Barrino.

He'll mentor the remaining seven contestants through the theme: "Idols at the Movies." He'll likely also tout his new movie "Inglourious Basterds," starring Brad Pitt.

Let's hope one of the "Idol" finalists chooses "Stuck in the Middle with You" from "Reservoir Dogs."
