It really tied the plot lines together.
…did it not
That's just your opinion man
Amateurs…
@@larrydanadavid2435 fucking amateurs
until it goes click.
For me hearing the Talking Heads “Take Me to the River” for the first time was like a light had turned on. They sounded like music had given birth to something truly, unique and so cool.
Yes very much so. Same for me when I saw the video for 'Once in a Lifetime.' My first introduction to David Byrne. I was hooked
Jeff's acting in True grit was outstanding
a great observation by Bridges, happy to hear he's a Talking Heads fan too
Glad I saw this cos I discovered you- Culprit LA. I've subscribed as yr channel looks good, in doing so discovered Clarian- Moon Surfer- what a brilliant video and sound, (very similar to SMD), & more bands thank you!
God, I just heard their first album yesterday. It's absolutely fucking fantastic!
* THE Talking Heads
XD
@@sumez4369 I'm sure you're being sarcastic
@@GuyWithTheThingOnTheTable Obviously. It's just funny because that was what Jeff said in the video.
Great analogy and makes total sense coming from him, being a musician and songwriter.
I’m surprised Jeff Bridges hasn’t been in a Tarantino movie
it was Kurt Russel
Bad Times at the El Royale (2018), which stars Bridges, is rather Tarantino-esque.
@@Kylopod I was like you, I thought that was a QT movie, too...Then, I learned the hard way that it's not. "From writer/director Drew Goddard comes the thrilling noir crime drama Bad Times at the El Royale...."very much in the style of QT, though
@@BethStJames Well, I didn't think it was actually a Tarantino flick, I was just aware it was imitating QT's style. It also has some similarities with Jim Jarmusch's "Mystery Train" (the hotel setting, for one), which is a film I believe influenced QT as well.
@@Ivan-ze7oz Kurt Russell and Jeff Bridges are actually not the same person.
I was 14 when Pulp Fiction came out. Its been my #1 favorite movie ever since.
Pulp Fiction blew my mind when I saw it at 15. I loved all sorts of movies but that was I think the first where I went, 'Holy shit. Movies can do anything. There is no formula.' Punk Rock and Rap music had the same effect on me. The world gets a little bit bigger when you have those moments.
Bro me too!! I watched the movie this year and I loved it and was blown away by it! You don’t need to follow a formula
Do you still feel the same way about Rap music? LMFAO!
Rap isn't music and should be banned as to stupid for the human race
@@jjoneski2203 the popular shit being made today is definitely dog water, but there’s some fucking amazing rap artists, it’s the same as every genre, it has its masters and then there’s the real shit artists
"i hate the f_cking eagles man"
Kurdt Nbk Me 2
He only liked Talking Heads so much because he hates the fuckin Eagles man
Stephen Carroll haha haha get out my fucking taxi
that answer made my day , hehe, thank you man
I saw that same freshness in Bridges' early film roles, particularly the 1974 film, "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot." The scenes where he's interacting with George Kennedy are so jarring in their disparate reactions, just wonderful. Bridges youthful exuberance is also so captivating and sincere, it makes the sad turn at the end of the film all the more poignant. That movie affected me in much the same an earlier film, Bridges was also in, "The Last Picture Show" did; stunning. The notion of creating something so different or new, as The Talking Heads imaginative sound burst onto the scene or Tarantino did with "Pulp Fiction" meld well with Bridges own work, i.e., "The Big Lebowski." He's such a joy to watch on the screen...he seems to be such a grounded, decent fellow in real life as well...
In 1983 I was waiting for a flight at Barnstable airport on Cape Cod. The terminal was empty. 5 people walked in and sat down next to me. I looked up...it was the Talking Heads. David Byrne was most gracious. The band had just played the Coliseum. Back then, I always wanted to meet this band and Bryan Ferry. That happened at another airport a few months later. I have lead a very charmed life
OMG, two of my favorites, you have lead a charmed life!
I will be darned. I have to totally agree with his comments, thats was my same reaction to both the Talking Heads and Pulp Fiction as well. Damn good to see that I am not the only one who thinks that way!
And to find someone who speaks your language...you know, intuitively, what "a splash of cold water" and "etch-a-sketch" mean. No need to connect the dots.
Stunned. "Take me to the river/drown my head in water"
“I was high when I said that.” What every celebrity quote should have following it for everyone who wants to take it seriously.
The Fisher King will always be my favorite movie for Jeff Bridges and also for Robin Williams. I remember going into a shop on Haight Ashbury and I saw Robin Williams with what was I think his daughter and I wanted to tell him how great I thought the movie was but then out of respect I didn't I figured t the time that was the greatest was of showing my appreciation for the man.
I love Jeff acting. He’s one of my favourites.
JB always looks like he's eating something delicious
Dude, this just made me howl laughing.
The Devils lettuce....
The name of the band is: Talking Heads
Actually, the name of The Band is: The Band
God bless the dude !!
"Strikes and gutters, ups and downs."
This fills my heart with joy
donnie: dude your phones ringing
dude: THANK YOU DONNIE
He says Etch a Sketch, but the motion that he does with his hands makes me think that he was thinking of Magic Slate.
Refreshing like this video. Right on!!
Soooo after 12 years TH-cam finally recommended this video 😂😂
The only movie I saw that I smiled the whole time watching from start to finish.
when i see jeff bridges, all i remember him for is True Grit, great western!
More please❤
Shhhhhhh....listen! The Dude is speaking.
It’s a great comparison, and exactly how I felt. I was in the Beatles -Stones - Dylan camp in my buddy left Fear Of Music at my house when I was a youngster. I played it over and over. i went on to see them at least eight times mostly in great seats. Fast forward 10 years Later, I see Pulp fiction and being a minor film student turned to my future wife and commented that besides the entertainment value the time structure is so brilliant and ballsy. I’m not sure we’ve had an artistic musical endeavor or film endeavor with that impact in the last 10 years, but I’m hopeful to be proved wrong.
Talking Heads and Pulp Fiction are a good comparison.
They're both different from the norm, at that time.
Yeah a bit obscure and artsy unsettling at times even.
My all time favorite film.
Great actor Jeff. Stay well.
the closest thing I've had to this was, as an avid fan of classic rock and folk, seeing DRIVE in theaters for the first time, and totally digging that soundtrack...loved the movie in general of course. since then, I sample as much Euro-pop as I can, and keep my eyes peeled for any thrillers that are equally inspired by Melville and such.
DRIVE was strangely a fucking awesome movie.
Jeff Bridges should be in a Tarantino movie one day.
If Pulp Fiction was an album it would be OK Computer by Radiohead.
Jeff Bridges is seriously the coolest actor ever.
Love Jeff ...great actor, great guy ...so I've heard, :P
I had a friend who's uncle used to call KISS, The KISS...LOL
JOSEPH ARSENAULT i had a friend who used to think the 'song "Band on the Run'was ' Man on the Run"
he used to sing out loud Man on the Run Man on the Run
+Trev Mac I think I sang it that way as a kid. Sounded like Man on the run.
Haha, that's great. I love KISS and your friend's uncle.
This clip is great, if you're into the whole brevity thing.
Etch A Sketch. Brilliant observation.
Brilliant comparison there Jeff. Though I'm more of a Reservoir Dogs guy, he's absolutely right about Pulp Fiction.
It's easy to image that Pulp fiction could start again. As a prequel, with main characters,
evolved around an additional cast of different actors.
Amen Dude!
I love tarantino and the Talking Heads
Jeff Bridges compares PULP FICTION to an Etch-A-Sketch
By the way it's Talking Heads, not The Talking Heads. Stop Making Sense is a classic.
Rest in peace Dude.
I agree. Snatch had that effect on me as well.
Jeff Bridges...his intellect, his perspective, his approach, his energy, his talent...amazing!! And those beautiful, mesmerizing, light-filled, curious, blue eyes!!!! I can't take it!
Great comparison. Long live the Dude.
Would like to see a three hour lecture on this subject from Mr Bridges
He'll probably need some White Russian to drink, in these three hours.
Well put. The Talking Heads and Pulp Fiction is a great comparison.
Dude was scary as hell in the vanishing
They need a remake of Death Proof...
With him playing a geriatric Stuntman Mike.
one movie Jeff Bridges was in no body talks about Arlington Road i liked it very underrated movie.
Well said.
Tarantino was definitely burning down the house in Inglorious Basterds.
if you watch it again now...you'll feel like you've seen it all before in a bunch of other movies...that's what happens with a classic...it changed everything after it
I think the Coen Brothers had their own quirky unique style long before Pulp Fiction. Right from their first film they had something unique.
blood simple?
Tarantino is more easily digestible. But I agree, they have been unique and fresh too.
So did Jim Jarmusch.
Everybody:
Look at Tarantino! He invented great dialogs/monologs in cinema! Look at "Reservoir Dogs" (1992)! Look at "Pulp Fiction" (1994)!
Jim Jarmusch:
Brought great dialogs/monologs to cinema in "Down by Law" (1986) & "Night on Earth" (1991) and continues quietly to make great, quirky, experimental movies with their own weird sense of humor inside a somewhat fucked up world.
They're all different things. The Coens and Jarmusch will always be art house cinema. What Tarantino did is he took it mainstream....
That’s a good comprehension
Wait , what day is this ?
"That's a music group. The Talking Heads you know" Yes Jeff, we know.
Talking Heads? I thought he liked country and roots rock like The Band, Stones, Dylan and Creedence. He hates The Eagles, that I know.
You are allowed to live outside the box.
What movies have done what Jeff describes as starting afresh, being without previous compare and influencing generations thereafter? Citizen Kane in 1941, Kubrick's A Space Odyssey in 1968, Pulp Fiction in 1994...feels like we're due another one!
Those movies like Pulp Fiction may have influenced other film makers but none have been surpassed. I would add Psycho and Easy Rider to that list. Films like Star Wars, The Thing and Toy story wiped the slate but there have been movies since that are as good and even better.
Psycho and Star Wars are good shouts. Tho' I don't think any swashbuckling space opera is as good as the original Star Wars trilogy (despecialized versions), or which did you have in mind?
The film is still standing the test of time
Greatest movie ever made!
Jeff Bridges ❣⚘💖💞🌟
He's the DUDE!!!
after seeing the title, how can you not be compelled to watch the vid?
the dude likes the talking heads...would not have guessed that
@MoltenPlastic I think it's aged marvelously well. Besides, it's only like 15 years old.
thank you so much dude for introducing me to the talking heads today, I have spent the whole day listening to their music :)
It' s just Talking Heads , not ' the Talking Heads' . Agreed that they were a great band
I've heard it used like The Pink Floyd,and there's nothing more quaint than this...two e's, eg; Thee
Midniters
Jeff Bridges has to love CBGB then, if only for The Talking Heads. 🌱
What a simple but brilliant way to explain two great arts..
So true , both pulp fiction and talking heads are works of geniuses !
Where's his hair? It really tied his face together.
@MoltenPlastic i think it has aged well but when it came out it was like the generation x crime movie however anyone who sees it for the first time will still usually be greatly affected by it
😂👍 Great!
He was great as The Dude, but Fat City and The Last Picture Show are my favourite movies Jeff Bridges starred in.
Bridges was a wise and a nice person outside of acting. Good to hear his comparison between two of my favorite things ever. lol
Well the lead singer of The Talking Heads has Aspergers maybe Quinton is on the spectrum too but the whole non linear storytelling is a concept similar to "stop making sense" the mind has to jump back and forth to understand the story. That film had a good soundtrack too which also affects an audience more than just action and dialogue. Inglorious Bastards for instance really only has that one Bowie song which makes the revenge of the big face scene the most impactful. Now Pulp Fiction is pop culture for my generation of teens nostalgic really in a way someone that views it for the first time now in 2023 won't know it didn't play the soundtrack at their house parties either probably didn't see NBK in 94 ish either that was a cultural phenomenon too soundtrack arranged by Trent Reznor Story by Tarantino Directed by Oliver Stone cult classic for sure now.
Legend 🌹
The Dude!!!!
now the question remains...WHEN will Jeff Bridges be in a Tarantino movie..??
The Dude was really trying to swim to the surface here.
YEAH, it was this;that this that, this that , then the other thing that somehow blended into a complete work of art!!!
Never heard anyone call them 'The' Talking Heads before. Is this some kind of Eastern thing?
so much that I bet many did not realize that the dude is one of the bad guys in iron man
He gave us all the middle finger :P
"Yeah. Well. That's, uh like, your opinion man."
This video is just like, his opinion, man.
Jeff NEEDS to be in a Tarantino film - who's here in 2021! get this going round.
I would love to see a Tarantino Bridges movie
A music group, you know, the Talking Heads.
He should be cast in the next Tarantino film
Backstage.
Bridges shoud be in there too
I first saw The Talking Heads when they appeared on Saturday Night Live in 77 or so. I had a similar reaction, though I was much younger (just in grade nine) and hadn't really formed my musical tastes too firmly yet. I also loved Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, but have not been as enthusiastic about Tarantino's other work.
The name of the band is Talking Heads. Not "the" Talking Heads. But I forgive you, Jeff.
Shit, Lightfoot is alive!
