Tarantino Poll

I'm waiting for his "Unplugged"

People preferring Reservoir Dogs to PF remind me of those guys who prefer Bleach to Nevermind.

this is otm, i'd say

People preferring Reservoir Dogs to PF remind me of those guys who prefer Bleach to Nevermind.

hey, that's me! Apart from Bleach I can't really bear to listen to Nirvana anymore.

i dunno man, PF is kinda bloated and sprawling, i can see preferring the lean & meanness of RD

i can see preferring Bleach, too!

I can't imagine PF without bloat and sprawl.

im not saying its bad, im just saying, they're pretty different movies and i could sympathize with preferring a more basic heist thriller

OK, I like In Utero, and I guess "Jackie Brown"...

PF is kinda bloated and sprawling

big lol about a director whose oeuvre includes a 4-hour chopsocky/foot fetish movie.

PF is kinda and KB is hell of

i finally watched jackie brown

my faves are still the kill bills, followed by reservoir dogs -> death proof -> jackie brown -> pulp fiction

jackie brown was awesome, even tho it was looooong and takes a while to get to where it wants to go there didn't seem to be any unnecessary scenes, which is my prob with PF - i think i like sam l better in that than in PF

this is otm to how i feel btw

i dunno man, PF is kinda bloated and sprawling, i can see preferring the lean & meanness of RD

is true romance any good?

I tried to watch it once and had to turn it off because it was so retarded.

and I really like Tarantino!

shit

true romance is tarantino as his most immature and ridiculous. i actually think it's a really entertaining film but christian slater's performance and character are kinda problematic for me for some reason. best performances in the film: oldman & gandolfini. i think the walken/hopper scene is just a little overrated too.

and

SPOILER ALERT

this usually doesn't bother me but the final mexican standoff where every single character except for the heroes and michael rapaport gets killed has always kinda bugged me out b/c there are a lot of good supporting performances in this film and qt and tony scott are such misanthropic dudes that they have to make sure any character with any moral flaws has to get gunned down, and i think it was just kind of a bummer for some reason. and then scott ripped it off for enemy of the state.

i dunno what to say really cuz i think you're nuts for saying PF has unnecessary scenes (which scene would you take out/takes away from the movie? i've never really seen that criticism leveled at it). but if you like tarantino i dont see how you could not find something to like about true romance...the christopher walken scene is obviously super classic and it ends in a mexican standoff!

lol xp

alright im gonna watch it

the real classic scene in the film is gandolfini and arquette imo, because it's got actual drama and real stakes, the other scene is a couple of tough guys bullshitting and it's kinda clever but i dunno...

yeah that scene is wonderful too, not gonna take away from that. but the walken scene is just vintage tarantino

the real classic scene is anything with Brad Pitt

upon considered reflection, Pulp Fiction is totally his WORST movie. wtf ILX

Come in and check out his BEST movie. Ask for Jason, I'll show you how to get the Blu-Ray DVD of "Inglourious Basterds" with Academy Award Winner Christoph Waltz for $29.99.

lol

Poll srsly needs to be redone with IB in the mix.

let's pretend we did

it won

or people who were interested could do it and you could not read the thread. crazy idea?

xpost

and then scott ripped it off for enemy of the state.

this scene was good tho! & he does have his name on true romance so is prob not ripping off

Sounds like his Friars Club roast was the best thing he's been associated with in 12 years....

No fewer than four roasters lobbed cracks about Travolta’s sexuality, Rob Schneider noting, “He was going to fly here, but he was having trouble with his cockpit—and by that, I mean his asshole.” Kathy Griffin frantically made visual quote marks when declaring that Travolta was busily engaged with his “normal” family. But the hilarious Whitney Cummings went completely off topic and took aim at Griffin’s obsession with Ryan Seacrest, saying, “The only thing that’s spent more time on Ryan is semen.”

It was Tarantino himself, of course, who restored some dignity to the proceedings by toasting another Pulp Fiction star, the event’s roastmaster, Samuel L. Jackson. Quipped the auteur, “You’re the only big black man in Hollywood that Tyler Perry doesn’t want to fuck.”

wow kill bills got hosed here huh

prob suffered from vote-splitting

damn, any video of the roast?

There's a link in there that I didn't click on, cuz QT's face hurts me to look at under any circumstances

Haha, closeted gays are so funny.

Is that what's behind that scene in Pulp Fiction with the two rednecks and Hooded Medieval Guy? Always thought that detour was kind of silly.

I didn't realize Rob Schneider was out of the closet.

gimp scene swerve in pulp fic is the best bit!!

To clarify, making fun of closeted gays is so funny.

Well, yeah

i'd give IB serious consideration if the poll were done again (voted for JB first time around)

i dont like the kill bills very much at all... they're well made but i just dont find them engaging or compelling i guess

still havent seen DP

it was a roast

oic didn't realize the subject of the roast is closeted actors

I bet Tarantino was so relieved tho

Felt this way about the first, thought the second was great.

I don't really like them either. I don't remember if I voted in this but if I did it would have most likely been for P Fiction or J Brown but I also agree that having since seen IB I might have to have voted for it instead.

IB had some of the best individual scenes he's done, but they didn't cohere at all for me.

I still have never seen Death Proof.

Definitely think a re-poll is in order.

the second one's a lot better, but again i just didnt really feel involved in the ~human drama~

stuff like the buried alive scene - superbly done, but i just didnt feel the drama in it, especially since i knew she'd get out. whereas i loved the long, deliberate conversations in IB, in KB2 it felt like wheel-spinning to me (and i couldnt tell you why one worked for me and the other didnt). the long confrontation with carradine at the end, which seems like its supposed to be the emotional core of the two movies, didnt resonate w/me at all. tho now that im thinking about this stuff, its playing better in my head than i remembered. havent seen either of them since they came out, might be time for a revisiting imo

the trailer fight w/daryl hannah was great tho

I still have never seen Death Proof.

You should see it. While not my favorite, it's still pretty great.
