I liked pulp fiction until I got to the part with uma thurman and then the style of the movie just starts to annoy the fuck outta me.I hate that diner scene so much.

Wow, muchacho. You’re a total What we can't have apinions in a thread about film? Movie would be much better and easier to forgive without travolta and his greasy pontail. I also don't really like uma nothing against her acting I'm just not a fan of her or Bruce Willis. My issue with Tarantino is his casting not so much the style.

I don't think Pulp Fiction is a perfect film but it's entertaining. Travolta is great in it though. I'd say if you chopped a good half hour, including at least 15 minutes from the Bruce Willis scene with his girlfriend (that shit brings the momentum of the film to a grinding halt) and some other drawn out dialogue scenes, it would have been a classic.

"Would have been a classic" is kind of off. The move came out 25 years ago and people still talk about it all the time, it's definitely a classic. I agree that the stuff with Bruce Willis and his gf is too drawn out, but no movie is perfect.

Not everyone is gonna like the same stuff.One of my favorite films is Only God Forgives but I understand that not everyone is going to like that movie. So you can disagree with me but next time maybe try not being a total prick about it.To me tarantino seems like an angry idiot trying to elevate trashy material with this sort of pretension to it.

Dude. When you say things like, "nothing against her acting," about an actor, in a conversation about a movie, what kinds of responses do you think you're going to get from people? When you talk about not liking an actor's 'greasy ponytail,' and levy no complaint with their acting or contributions to a movie, what kinds of responses do you think you're going to get?
As places to discuss movies with film dorks go, this thread is about as un-snobby as you'll find, but that doesn't mean you get to say something that ridiculous and expect nobody to take umbrage with it.

Shes a fine actress but I don't like her in movies and I can't explain why I just don't. I hate travolta in general and that ponytail drives me nuts it and once again I can't explain why.I wish madsen had played the part like he was supposed too.I don't think its ridiculous to not like a movie due too the casting whether or not they are world class actors or the quality of their acting in the movie.I have a love hate relationship with Kill Bill for this very reason.

I agree that the stuff with Bruce Willis and his gf is too drawn out, but no movie is perfect. I know it's held in high regard, and for good reason. I just think it would have more impact if it was more compact. As for no movie being perfect, I disagree with that.

Again, if you're just saying, "I'm not on board with Tarantino's casting in Pulp Fiction," that's one thing. That's understandable. But the statements you made open the door for people to give you shit.
I have no personal issue with you or your comments in here, just trying to help ya out.

the best werewolf transformation ever put to screen. Rick Baker would like a word with you. I know everyone likes the American Werewolf one, and it is great...just the second best though. ;)

Goodfellas is a perfect movie too.
Saw once upon a time in Hollywood last night..In hollywood, funny theres a shot of the theatre we were watching the movie in in the film, and the audience sort of cheered..
Good film, lots of fun, not tarantino's masterpiece but a solid flick.

ONCE UPON A TIME...IN HOLLYWOOD is so many things. The most thoughtful Tarantino has ever been...almost melancholic and definitely lamenting a time when everyone was in tune with pop culture. It’s his most impressive ending I think, and I’m talking about literally the last 30 seconds. I loved it. Unlike his other stuff, there’s a lot to unpack here that’s not just (great) genre stuff.
Imo, its his first film since his editor Sally Menke passed in which the movie doesn’t feel overstuffed. I don’t think any scene is out of place or is overlong.

Nice...I’ll watch for that when I see it again. My favorite “Easter eGg” gg”: when Sharon Tate wen't in to get Tess of the d’Urbervilles, since she wanted to Star in it with Roman directing. Something he would do a decade later with Kinski. V Also, what a super interesting character Pitt's Cliff Booth turned out to be that was totally casually slipping in that Cliff's wife, that he supposedly killed was Natalie Wood, right? So odd.

tarantino's feet and legs fetish has never been more apparent in a movie than this one.

Just found out that Margret Qualley (Manson girl/hitchhiker) is Andie McDowell's daughter.
She was really good. Also liked her in The Nice Guys

The Vanishing of Sidney Hall 6/10 Great story that goes to unexpected places, just bit overboard on the melodrama.
Anatomy of A Murder 10/10 One of the all time great courtroom dramas. Jimmy Stewart and George C Scatt are perfect.

Jai Courtney is an interesting case where he's not a bad actor he just gets cast in garbage films.
