I'm watching "Pulp Fiction"


I actually got it by mistake, when I left the 'special interest' section of the video store and accidentally grabbed this film. As I found out later, when I called the store, they don't even carry Pump Friction. :-(

Oh, well. I guess I'll watch this thing, anyway. I do like "Miserlou," at least.

I've seen bits of it before and never really liked what I saw -- I'm not especially a loyal fan of Tarantino, it seems, and I thought Kill Bill was absolute, unmitigated crap -- but now I'll finally watch the whole thing and decide for myself its merits or lack thereof. Forrest Gump still deserved the Oscar, dammit... :P

2. I never much cared for Tarantino either, but I must admit
that I liked Reservoir Dogs a lot.

3. I think one either likes Tarantino or doesn't.
I happen to like him a lot. Not EVERYTHING, but I do like him in general. It's also cool that he films some of his stuff here in my hometown. :)

7. I admit, I really like Pulp Fiction....
and Reservoir Dogs was good.

Otherwise, I don't go out of my way to see Tarantino's films. I can't imagine him being able to make a movie that didn't rely on camp and obscure pop culture references and those themes are Deja Done.

9. I LOVED it....but then I'm a hugh Quinten fan. It's kind of like w/David
Lynch. People are either really into these guys or not. I happen to really be into them. My favorites from each are Pulp Fiction and Mulholland Drive. I've seen Pulp Fiction more times than I could count.

10. I am a Tarentino fan. But he sure seems to be losing his touch. I
saw Grindhouse and thought his episode was the worst. He also seems to pimp out his hame (Q.T. presents) for some super lame horror films. Kill Bill #1 was decent.

12. Weird. I woke up thinking about Pulp Fiction
I traded my DVD for Blade 2. The movie bores me to tears. I don't like small talk, so dialogue for the sake of dialogue does nothing for me.

13. Shawshank Redemption deserved the Oscar
But Pulp Fiction was a pretty damn good movie.

14. ENGLISH! DO YOU SPEAK IT, M*THAF*CKA!
I'm not a Tarantino fan, but I love Sam Jackson & John Travolta in that flick.
