BlueCrystalTear 09/21/22 1:16:32 AM #28: | Pulp Fiction (1994) Directed by: Quentin Tarantino Written by: Quentin Tarantino, Roger Avary Starring: John Travolta, Samuel L. Motherfucking Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis Previous status: Clips only "They speak English in What?" The clips I'd seen before were the two iconic quotes, the one above and "I'mma get Medieval on your ass." I didn't recognize that the latter was said This was definitely a bunch of lessons learned from Reservoir Dogs. The dialogue early in the movie is juxtaposed with events actually occurring, and the characters aren't anywhere near as redundant as they were in Tarantino's first movie. It also helps that Samuel L. Jackson - who is one of my favorite actors, to the point that I'd LOVE to be called a "motherfucker" by him on Twitter (I mean, that's how he got "Motherfucking" in his name) - is here, at a rather young age and with HAIR (most I've seen him have is a buzz cut), and is kicking ass like usual. This also seems to have a higher budget, and certainly a longer runtime. One twist that caught me completely off guard is when I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Uma Thurman as a sex symbol here. The wig is obvious but it helps her iconic look. Not to mention that she's got "Bond girl" written all over her - especially her spy character. The "catch up" dad joke was... yeah. I wish we'd seen more of her later, but this was after Also "quarter pounder with cheese" didn't make me that hungry. My burger last night had three-quarters of a pound of meat AND cheese. The milkshake didn't make me hungry since I'd just had one before coming home (a convenience store F'real but still). The talk about blueberry pancakes, however......... yeah, that made me hungry lol. The sheer amount of little gems in here, the storytelling, the twists, the acting... this was a great film. (Ending-ish spoilers) @Zachnorn @junk_funk You both get another nomination! (P.S. I will be making my final disc-grabbing stop tomorrow - I have a few things in mind that I'll want to pick up if possible, so if you wanna wait until then, feel free.) --- [This post adds nothing to the discussion but for whatever reason I felt the need to say it anyway.] ...
