pulp fiction - crap / not crap

[danny la rouge]

Some people are still in that juvenile phase where you just cant believe that someone doesnt love your favourite band/movie/book as you do and have to put it down to them pretending not to like it to get at them.

So it seems.

 

[andy2002]

Pulp Fiction's a great film. Death Proof, on the other hand...

 

[rutabowa]

But overall he does write fantastic films/roles for the ladies.

nah, all his women's roles are total male fantasies! taht doesn't really bother me though they are just trash films, i would look elsewhere for psychological insight.

didn't make it to the end of that sentence sorry

It's not crap but it's certainly not the masterpiece it's made out to be. The scene where Bunny sniffs the smack is just totally uncecessary imo.

Death Proof doesn't make sense unless you see the whole, as intended, Grindhouse bill. It's shorter, faster, less drawn out, and as part of the whole two movie plus trailers package, is brilliant

I do know what you mean.

He does, but i actually found myself (slightly) wincing while watching the PF scene in the diner the other week, as it has dated a wee bit. I was surprised that I reacted this way, cos i was just like 'this is too cool for scool and it aint cool anymore and its like every single utterance that comes from Uma's lips is supposed to be mindbendingly coquettish and cool.'

other bits were less affected but quentin couldnt resist the urge to depict women as sexy, cool and clever.

what about poor marvin?

yeah, poor marvin

still, accidents at work will happen

It's Health And Safety gone mad!

nah, i think that's quite an important scene. vincent is supposed to be looking after her, and he lets her OD on his smack.

 

[ovaltina]

Very good film indeed. Not sure how anybody could dislike it.

 

[zoooo]

Well, I was speaking as a woman myself there actually.

 

[rutabowa]

and?

 

[zoooo]

and I was saying that I like his women characters?
So therefore they are female fantasies too, not just male?

Anyway...

Well, I'm a mushroom-cloud-layin' motherfucker, motherfucker! Every time my fingers touch brain, I'm Superfly T.N.T., I'm the Guns of the Navarone! IN FACT, WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOIN' IN THE BACK? YOU'RE THE MOTHERFUCKER WHO SHOULD BE ON BRAIN DETAIL! We're fuckin' switchin'! I'm washin' the windows, and you're pickin' up this nigger's skull!

yes, thats what i was getting at. Quantin tarantino's geek fantasties with mindbendingly coquettish minxes, to be exact.

 

[N_igma]

Did fuck all to the plot though, and it's not like he willingly let her sniff it. He went to the bog, could happen to anyone. Plus we don't know anything about her relationship with Marcellos except from what we hear from other people so the scene certainly didn't resonate with me.

 

[zoooo]

But it was fun that her sick looked like vanilla milkshake.

 

[Voley]

Even reading it makes me laugh. Excellent use of the 'double motherfucker'.

 

[Cheesypoof]

'Lets not start sucking each others dicks just yet'

is the best line from any film, IMHO!

 

[Pieface]

He always seem to cast himself as like, a rapist or something....strange boy.

 

[Juice Terry]

And when it came out it felt so new and colourful and different and fun.

^^this

Totally new, ground breaking, when it came out, one of the few genuine wtf moments I've had in the cinema.

And what won the oscar that year? Forest fucking Gump

 

[fogbat]

I'd guess that broken / bad / weird characters are more fun to play.

Its been a few years since I saw it but its pretty damn central to the plot iirc.

and lots of feet.

Innit I was gonna go watch the Batman movie tonight but i'm getting tempted to stay in and stick the dvd on.

 

[dodgepot]

yeah, after all the talking about the foot massage and the chucking out of the window, mia then goes and has a smack OD whilst with vincent. irregardless of whether or not he willingly/knowingly let her take it, it's still gonna be a cause for concern...

 

[Cheesypoof]

i'd say whenever Quentin Tarantino hooks up with Daryl Hannah or Uma Thurman he turns into a dribbling, gibbering wreck - thats why he talks so fast.

Her relationship with Marsellus? She's his girl. Therefore Vincent is in very big shit, something which has already been alluded to in the film. Did fuck all with the plot? Well fuck all apart from tying together Vincent, Jules, Mia, Marsellus, Butch, the redneck cop, etc etc. And the scene of Mia coming back and dancing to You'll be a Woman and finding the H is proper class. It's car crash movie watching with a great sound track.

Oh god, yes!
What is that all about?

There's endless shots of 'em in Death Proof too. So he's not growing out of it.
