- This is a movie reaction to my first time watching Pulp Fiction, released in 1994 and directed by Quentin Tarantino. I finally knocked this off my list after wanting to watch it for many years! This sure was... interesting LOL. I think that's the best word to describe it. Performances by all were great, especially Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Uma Thurman and Bruce Willis. Make sure to stick around to the end of this video for my full thoughts and review and thank you so much for watching!

Even though this wasn't your cup of tea, your editing was very well done. Thumbs up for you.
I appreciate that, thank you!
I appreciate the fact that you recognize that some of the parts you didn't like about the movie come down to personal preference, a lot of reviewers confuse what they don't like with being bad movies.
It's worth remembering that at the time of the movies release, nothing had ever been made like this before, it was a completely different style of movie to anything that'd come before it.
Thank you for saying that. Many other commenters have said some nasty things to me because I didn't love this movie like they did. 😅 I don't think it's a bad movie at all and I totally understand that it was unique for its time and paved the way for many more great movies!
“I’m just a Coffee Shop.” That’s how the actor playing the owner is credited in the movie 😂😂
That's a small role but that actor really knocked it out of the park.
Tarantino films (especially this one, and Reservoir Dogs) are extremely deep examinations of human nature, and of individual characters. As others have said, the pacing is of a different time. It's something I miss honestly. Films that weren't afraid to take the longer path, because the sights were better. I am also of the opinion that art imitates life, and there are a great many distasteful and unfortunate things that happen in life. The last thing we should ever want is for art to force its message to conform to the current prevailing sensibilities. When people never see bad things in any context, they have no idea what to expect when bad things happen in front of them.
fun fact , the line 'awe man i shot marvin in the face " was improvised by travoltra and i used to live in the city and pass by the diner that was at the beginning and end of the movie , sadly it was torn down soon after this movie was filmed
Loved your honesty in your review. And that you get why others might love it, even though it’s not your cup of tea. What I love about this film is it’s about a bunch gangsters talking about pop culture and having real life conversations. I just found it thoroughly entertaining:)
I remember watching this for the first time. It was so engrossing. From the first scene at the diner. I'd never seen such well written dialogues before it. On the rewatch, it felt like a comedy movie. Loved it even more
In my opinion, Quinten's movies always have dialogues that actually happen in real life. Stupid, yet brain stopping convos about nothing at all, but mean something at the moment.
Excited to see some more of his stuff and see how I feel about them!
This is basically a movie populated by criminals. I worked in a prison for 25 years.
Criminals use profanity, including the "N-Word", constantly, especially around other criminals because they think it makes them sound tougher.
Quentin Tarantino appears in every one of his films. Sometimes it is Blatant, like this, sometimes you will blink and miss him without even knowing.
Good to know!
@@kaiielle Not only that (Keep your eyes peeled), but Quentin likes to reuse actors as well.
Christoph Waltz, Inglorious Basterdz and Django Unchained.
Uma Thurman, This and Kill Bill series.
Samuel L Jackson, Django Unchained, This and Hateful Eight.
Tim Roth, The male robber of the Diner in this, Reservoir Dogs and Hateful Eight.
I think you feel the shots are drawn out because you're young and movies are cut way faster these days to deal with people with increasingly lower attention spans. There are studies about this and it's a shame really.
I enjoy many slower-paced movies out there; this one just didn't land with me in that regard. But I understand why people like it!
This film is really not for those whose sensibilities are fragile. At the movie theater, the scene that got the biggest laugh was when Marvin's head was blown off by Vega in the car. I think this is a masterpiece and the dialogue is superb. What brings the movie whole is the final scene where Julius quits the business and one realizes that Vega will be doomed by continuing his lifestyle. Thank you for your reaction!
Tarantino's films are grounded in characters and conversation + a wealth of 20th century pop culture references. They weren't rushing to some genre plot point. (In fact, PULP FICTION is *about* genre plot points and tropes--and subverting them.) If the characters and conversation don't secure your investment, everything will definitely seem "drawn out." Like a lot of 20th century films, Tarantino's were designed for the darkened theater/big screen, before watching movies on phones was even a notion. We're in a different world now, for sure. Younger viewers tend to see movies as an idle distraction, a place to go shopping for fresh memes. In my day we had to walk to school in the snow uphill both ways, etc. 👴🏼 BUT, having been there in '94, I can say that the way Tarantino's early films slowed things down was shock even to '90's audiences, who associated crime movies with action thrillers. His interest in people and their quirks made him stand out from the pack.
This movie...like most movies before a certain year... allow scenes to breathe and atmosphere to be established. Compared to more modern films, that makes them seem "slow"
That, and also Q is so in love with his own dialog (justly so, IMO), that he can't bear to leave any of it on the cutting room floor. hehe
In this movie, the only scene that I thought was excessively long was the Butch/Fabienne "pot-belly" scene. That could've been half as long as it was. But besides that, I thought the scenes were the right length.
@@BigSleepyOx that’s the only scene in the movie that drags for me. Everything else is gold.
I read in a Rolling Stone Magazine interview with Samuel Jackson. He said that the contents of the briefcase was a light bulb, a battery pack, and some wire. Nothing more. Now you know! 🙂
I really appreciate your genuine, down to earth reactions and your honest reviews. I had a similar reaction to yours when watching this movie. Not everyone enjoys the same movies and that's okay.
If or when you get around to watching Kill Bill I think you might enjoy it more than this movie. I'm looking forward to watching more of your content regardless.
I saw this movie when it came out and it blew
me away! It was so unique in so many ways but also reminiscent of 70’s crime shlock. The language was for me very realistic for the times. I can see how it could be excessive for many but I found it entertaining. This brought John Travolta back into the spotlight after some flops. The violence and chaos was rightfully shocking. I consider the slower scenes to be all about being in the moment. While the viewer doesn’t get the full context it’s kind of a mystery as to where it’s going. Most people didn’t have cell phones or the internet back then so that wasn’t even an option.
'He wants to know what a $5 shake tastes like.' has been predicted by every reactor I have seen so far. :)
The most predictable line in the movie!
He can't call 9-1-1. Both Vincent and Mia (once she recovered) would go to jail for drugs.
I love that the sword Butch grabbed was an Hatori Hanzo sword.
The strength of Quentin is that he's very much into what he's into. He doesn't have a problem about shaking things up a little and loves pulling stuff from old genres and movies he likes. He's got great taste in music.
The weakness of Quentin is that he thinks he's more clever than he is. He's a film fan and has zero problem stealing stuff from fringe or old movies he likes. Almost nothing he does is original, but a slight take or homage on some other movie or style. He's pretentious and his dialog comes across in the same way Kevin Smith's movies do at times: like he's pontificating through his characters and trying to be cool and clever for their own sake instead of for the story.
I remember when this came out audience members who liked Reservoir Dogs and these new kinds of films coming out were non-plussed about Bruce Willis being in it based upon his past action film work but in the scene where he almost fled the pawn shop but turned back around those audience members turned around.
This is easily my favorite Tarantino movie. When I was younger I was a huge STAR WARS fan and my room only had posters of STAR WARS. PULP FICTION was the first Non-STAR WARS movie that I ever got a poster for ( it's the poster of Jules and Vincent holding there guns out to shoot that kid in the room - in black & white ). Always have a great time watching it. Thanks for reviewing the movie. Keep smiling 🤘 🙂
I have to admit that when this film came out 5 dollars for a milkshake did sound a bit pricey. Now a days it sounds like a good deal.
Absolutely!!!
Not everyone gets Tarantino. Nobody writes dialogue like Tarantino. Try Once Upon a time in Hollywood.
I'll say although Tarantino's dialogue seems brilliantly casual and unrelated to the plot, they actually give a lot of subtle glimpses and insights into the personalities of the characters-what they each care about, how they deal with and react to different situations-and this goes to an interesting issue of why Jules lives apparently managing to actually quit "the life" as he says, while Vincent ends up dead.
And while you shouldn't feel compelled to re-watch something you didn't enjoy, I do think if you did so, particularly after watching some more Tarantino, such as Reservoir Dogs, you'll observe all the characters are very much telling you who they are and that this ties in to their ultimate fates.
I do plan on watching more Tarantino! Eventually.
Quintin has a distinct style that you either like or you don’t. Ultraviolence and extreme profanity are expected. So are great soundtracks, non-linear storytelling (which was rare back when this film was produced), and a unique cinematography that provide an amazing and unique landscape for viewers. He is known for the verbal sparring between characters which can be viewed as very entertaining or unnecessarily long scenes. Kill Bill has all of these things, but a lot more of it (much longer run time, bigger budgets so his ability to produce stunning and unsettling visuals are expanded). He first started talking with Uma about a “revenge film” when they were making Pulp Fiction. If you weren’t impressed with Pulp Fiction, and you were staring at your watch in this movie, I fear you will be doing a lot more of that in Kill Bill. I view both Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill as classic movies but they aren’t for everyone.
Still gonna check Kill Bill out anyway to see for myself what I think about it! There are slower movies out there that I do enjoy.
Appreciate the honest review. Really an amazing movie but some strange scenes. Funny story...my sister rented this movie at blockbuster and brought it home to watch with my mom. I literally had to say there was something was something wrong with our VHS player and had to fast forward through a couple parts. Otherwise mom liked it😀
That restaurant scene is so perfectly acted out in terms of the type of high (coke and heroin) that the characters experience.
See I don't understand people who don't like deliberate thought out cinematic shots to tell a story or not like when a director lets a film breathe. Or keeps on a single shot.
Are we not beyond filmmaking 101 that needs to move a story forward every second just for the sake of doing so, forsaking diverse pacing and audience anticipation?
I basically don't understood how someone does not have their jaw dropped the entire time during this movie. Mine was when i saw it in the theater.
One of the most cinematic experiences I ever had in a theater (also Goodfellas and Boogie Nights, all 3 tied for #1).
Those 3 movies might seem cliche now but at the time the cineamtic experience was a combination of perfect storytelling meets perfect choices of a director meets pefect pacing and you just knew automatically from second 1 you were in good hands. And on 2nd viewing knew it was the hands of a master storyteller.
It boggles my mind that anyone else has a different experience, a visceral cinematic experience. I know thats life and that's on me but it still boggles my mind. 😊
QT is a master of creating tension in a scene.
I hated this movie when I saw it in 1994. It's still "not my cup of tea," but I have watched maybe dozens of reactions to it. Today I can appreciate Tarantino's artistry and creativity, and I can smile at a lot of the dialogue and performances, but I have no desire to watch the full movie again. This movie stays alive for me because I can enjoy watching others react to it, and I am only subjected to edited/condensed versions of the movie. Your reaction and analysis was perfect.
I largely agree with you, to be honest. It's been quite some time since I watched this movie and I haven't rewatched it since but I remember it really well. So can definitely throw Tarantino an A+ for making a memorable movie, even if it wasn't totally for me. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I like your video! Thank you for sharing!
It never sat right with me that Samuel L. Jackson was nominated for Best Supporting Actor while Travolta was nominated for Best Actor. There's no way that Travolta deserved that honor over Jackson. Jackson's character actually had one hell of an arc. Travolta's character doesn't really have an arc. He never changes the path he's on which is what directly leads to his untimely death.
Ain't about arc bro, Travolta was in more scenes and was involved in more plot points, it's just math.
@@sparksdrinker5650 Its not even about that, the producers are the ones that lobby for the awards, the figured they had better chances in that configuration.
true sam carried the movie and it took Travolta dancing with mia , mia almost o'ding him leaving his gun on the counter at butch's place to once again take a shit because he was constipated from shooting heroin which is a side effect of shooting up heroin and shooting marvin in the face to have be nominated where sam was more memorable with less movie time and jules arc improved throughout the movie
@@Flantomas better chance because travolta was white and sam was black and that the oscars are racist
Gen X and Millennials: "This movie is a masterpiece."
Gen Z: "This is boring ... OMG the GIF!"
I'm not even close to being Gen Z 🤣 I'm in my 30s.
@@kaiielle Just pulling your leg lol, I like your reactions!
Thanks so much!
they are no curse words just words
True
The moral of the story is be careful what pawn shop you go into
Great reaction! Thank you for sharing. I look forward to you checking out more of Tarantino's movies.
I like that we as the viewers try to imagine what an entirely fictional milkshake tastes like.
Uma/Mia said that her character in Fox Force Five was an expert with a blade...
A little foreshadowing of Kill Bill, maybe?
Kaiielle, everyone's first reaction to this movie is the same. I bet you caught a lot more as you were editing it. XD It's a great story about shit that happens everyday that we never know about.
I did! I put up a quick editor's note at the end saying that after watching it a second time in editing, I've bumped up my rating to 3 stars. It was a smidge more enjoyable watching it in editing, knowing what was coming.
@@kaiielle this is more of a cult classic. I like his other films more.
Love your review. Very thoughtful and thorough. This is one of my favorite movies, but 100% can see/respect your criticisms. You should definitely watch Jackie Brown. It is his most underappreciated film.
I think that one has been suggested, but either way you should submit that on my suggestion form linked in the description! And thank you for this comment as well.
I think The Hateful Eight is Quentin's most underappreciated movie. It's so good. Especially since there's a ton of dialogue. And set in the post Civil War time period. So good
This is one of the best films of all time. Die Hard is also one of the even better movies, and in fact a must watch you should react too!
late November/early December for Die Hard.
The feeling like a bystander in the scene is the point. It's what Tarantino calls a ," hang out movie".....you watch it every so often to hang out with the characters. Tarantino's hang out movie is Rio Bravo
Jackie Brown is done the same way. Though it's way more focused, if you struggle with Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown is probably the only other Tarantino movie that will interest you, it's probably his most accessible film
I was very indifferent as well the first time I saw this movie. After multiple views throughout the years, I like it a lot more. I don't know if you could like it that much or not, but I would definitely wait a few years before giving it more chances.
I think Pulp Fiction is my favorite Tarantino movie. It's also the first movie of his I ever saw. I totally get your gripes about the movie though. You'll definitely notice that dialogue is something there is a lot of if Quentin's movies.
I love Tarantino films for the unique dialogue despite the horrific violence.
Very good and honest reaction, Kaiielle. I don't think that this has anything to do with what era this movie was made, it's just that this is how Quentin Tarantino makes his movies.
While I do think that Tarantino is overrated as a director, I think he's an excellent writer.
I think that Pulp Fiction is one of Tarantino's best films. If I had to pick a favorite segment, I would go with the "Gold Watch" segment. Very intense.
If you choose to see more from Tarantino, then be prepared for more pointless dialogue and long slow shots. If that kind of camera work bores you, then you will have a very difficult time with Spaghetti Westerns, like ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, or THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY.
If you were even entertaining the idea of watching them.
Keep the reactions coming!
By the way, KILL BILL, is ridiculously long and very overrated, in my opinion.
I really appreciate your comments on the topic of foot massages and Butch's girlfriend's opinion of what feels good and what looks good.
Great introduction by the way! Cheers! ✌️❤️❤️
Thank you!
@@kaiielle I do believe you've had a taste of Tarantino so far! I highly recommend another Tarantino movie titled "The Hateful Eight!". You're going to have heaps of fun with this one! Enjoy! ✌️❤️❤️
I enjoyed your reaction! I like your outro chillout music from 35:06 onwards, could you tell me the name of the track?
It's linked in the description! And thank you!
Tarantino pretty much the movie Fox Force Five but he called it Kill Bill. Kiddos assassin squad that turned her is the same as described in the dinner seen
Check out the movies GoodFellas(1990-Based On A True Story), Jackie Brown(1997), and American Gangster(2007-Based On A True Story).
12:05: Interesting note about the "Fox Force Five". She ended up the movie "Kill Bill" in which she was an assassin on a team of mostly female assassins. Not sure if Quintin decided to run with this idea after writing this line.
Hot take :) Times have changed since the '90s that is certainly true due in part to this movie. Along with Reservoir Dogs there was literally a revolution in how movies were made, they didn't really make movies like this before and Tarantino made it a whole new genre. Many have tried to duplicate and most fail. You can see his inspiration in many modern movies and directors, you can see it in there cuts Guy Ritchie and Edgar Wright are very heavily influenced. Nowadays it's done to death, but I suspect for those of us that saw them in the theatre when they were fresh and new may have a different understanding. Personally I believe this and the afore mentioned movie to be some of the most influential film making in history. Love your reaction, look forward to seeing more :)
Not a hot take! Unless you were meaning MY take LOL. Thank you.
You really can't go wrong with Tarantino. All of his films are excellent.
That pillow with the lace isn't just 1990's. It's actually a span of like 400 years which just happened to end in the 1990's. Or in other words, The End of a Main Era, according to Dr. Thompson. And you got to see a little slice of it.
Good to know. It's "90s" to me because I was a child in the 90s so I just associate it with that.
@@kaiielle Ya I figured as much, but don't you hate it when you get a reply before you finish editing the comment that was being replied to? ARGH! >:(
Heh j/k
:P
@@meminustherandomgooglenumbers Sorry! I keep TH-cam open for a few hours after a video is uploaded cause I like responding to people's comments. 😊
I appreciate you being honest about disliking this film even though I happen to love it as I love all Tarantino films. Toi many reactors I feel like are paint about disliking what they react to
Thank you! Viewers don't like when you don't care for a movie, but I'll always be honest in my reviews!
I absolutely love this movie. It's one of my all time favorites. Although, ironically, the Mia and Vincent chapter is my least favorite. The Bonnie Situation is my favorite. I love the whole movie though. This is my first time watching one of your reactions and even though you didn't care much for one of my faves, I still enjoyed it. So I think I'll stick around for more.
Thanks so much! I can totally understand why people enjoy this movie. Do I feel bad for it not being my cup of tea? Kinda sorta. But I also can't control that. I have no idea what I'm gonna thinking of a movie. I'm not about to start faking reactions. 😂 Welcome in! Hope you enjoy some of my other stuff too.
@@kaiielle Don't feel too bad. There are plenty of films I hate that others love and vice versa. Everyone's different.
"every scene is drawn out like nothing has happened" this is the problem with being conditioned by modern mcdonalized film. no shot lasts more than a few seconds, there's no structure or love put into the composition... on and on old man yells at clouds...
Oh don't worry, there's a lot of modern films I don't care for either.
I know what Uma Thurman just said to Vincent about being a Square, but what she made with her fingers was the rectangle not a square lol I think Quentin Tarantino needs to go back to geometry class
I agree with one thing you are thinking about Pulp Fiction. The whole Marvin getting his head blown off part was totally unneeded. It and the cleaner part were just padding the movie to no purpose. You really should watch "Jackie Brown" More of a main stream Tarantino film (directed not written) with a Very Strong performance by Pam Greer who seems to be the Pawn stuck in the middle between the police and the criminals...with an unexpected twist or 3. All the violence is pretty well off screen. A really great Film Noir throwback.
Fun reaction, even it it wasn't really your cup of tea. Tarantino is definitely not for everyone and like my Grandpa always used to say: "Sonny, if everybody liked the same things, they'd all be after yer Grandma". 👍✌❤
Never heard the n-word so much in a short period of time? You must not ever been to the Bronx, Harlem or Brooklyn lol. Cool reaction.
When Marcellus walks in front of Butch's car, stops and looks at Butch, all shot thru the windscreen - do you think that was copying a scene from Psycho? Looks like it to me.
Maybe not copying, but definitely some inspiration!
What's in the case? GOLD. LOTS of GOLD
U need, it's not an option, to watch forrest gump and 'd love to see it, love u kaiielle. A warm hug from Brazil
That's been one of my favourite movies since it came out when I was just a little girl. Seen it hundreds of times.
it’s a good movie, entertaining
You enjoyed a lot of stuff in that movie you rated so low. :) It's one of my favorites and I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea And let me say I enjoyed your reaction to it about as much as I enjoy the movie on its own. Tim's, huh? Hello "neighbor" (I highly doubt you're from Québec too...). Thanks for the video, will definitely keep an eye out for more from you.
Your eyes when Marvin got shot. HAHAHAHA! If you don't like long scenes, good luck with movies from the 70s. Also, if you didn't like this, you probably won't like much from Tarantino.
I dont know if anyone said this but things happen when Vince is the bathroom. The last scene of the movie, him dying and being in the bathroom the Mia situation
My all time favorite movie behind only Boogie Nights.
I can totally understand why you gave it a middle of the road review.
I was raised in the 70's and 80's and was brought up on these types of movies when realism was king and not every movie ended with a happy ending.
70's and the 90's were the golden age of film IMHO.
And QT made some of the best movies ever made, but like music, movies are subjective and not objective. That's why my fav directors are QT, The Coens and Stanley Kubrick. Sad, and realistic type movies move me as much as movies with a happy ending
To each their own.
And I did enjoy your review, it was honest and that's all we can ask for.
Subbed.
Thank you for appreciating that I had a different opinion than you. There are a lot of men commenting on this video very upset with me for not *loving* this movie like they do and resorting to attacking me personally (sensitive, millennial, woman, ADHD, etc.). Have deleted some. Thanks for the sub, and welcome in!
It's definitely not a movie for everyone. And you simply can't force yourself to enjoy something. I like that you're honest about it. I rarely watch the discussion that people have after a reaction but for some reason your explanations and reasoning why you liked and disliked such and such part of the movie kept me interested :)
As for subtitles, I'm actually glad that you watch all your movies with them on, because so do I. I do it for a different reason (to make sure I don't miss anything). A lot of movies have whispered dialogue and very loud/aggressive music so it can be hard to understand everything. Then there are some actors or characters with very thick accents or poor enunciation and you're never 100% sure of what they say. And sometimes your ears play tricks on you (I'm bilingual, but English is not my native language).
A good example of this happening for me in Pulp Fiction is the famous Ezekiel speech by Jules. I've seen that particular scene on TH-cam several times before actually watching the movie for the first time. Obviously, the times I've seen it on TH-cam, it never had subtitles, so I always thought he said "And you will know my name is the LAW when I lay my vengeance upon thee". Only when I watched the movie on Netflix with subtitles on did I realize that all this time, he was saying "And you will know my name is the LORD when I lay my vengeance upon thee". And then I felt dumb 😂
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! Most people do exit the video before I get into that, but I'm glad it's valuable for those who choose to watch it. I could never get all those thoughts out while the movie was going.
Yes, subtitles are such a big help for understanding!
@@kaiielle You're actually very good at expressing your thoughts out, some people have a much rougher time finding the right words, even after the reaction itself.
It's just nice being able to "share" a good movie with someone :)
Thank you! I do write notes on my PC to refer to while I'm recording to get them out of my brain and organized prior to actually saying it out loud for the video. It really helps.
@@kaiielle That's a good idea
The case contains a very valuable golden McGuffin.
The best golden MacGuffin.
Disney bought Miramax/Dimension in 1993 and the Weinsteins ended up as figureheads which upset Harvey who claimed that he and his brother were being bullied by Disney (Hardy Har Har!), Both stuck it out until 2005 and then left (taking Dimension with them as they owned the name completely--But Disney owns ALL Dimension films made between 1993 and 2005 which means they own "the Crow" and the original "Scream" series among other movies) and started their own company called "The Weinstein Company". Disney held on to Miramax until they sold it in 2010 along with their own companies Touchstone and Hollywood as they decided not to do adult films anymore and concentrate on doing just Disney/Pixar-friendly movies.
Thumbs up!))
Yet, it's strange to me why people, having watch pulp fiction, always go to Kill Bill and other Tarantiono's stuff, but completely forget about "Four Rooms" movie. Though there is only one "room" shot by Tarantiono, I personally rank it the same level as pulp fiction or even higher))).
The briefcase is paying homage to a movie called repo man
I highly recommend to you, watching The Green Mile. It is in my opinion the best film ever made. The film is based on a Stephen King novel, but it's not a horror film at all.
It's on the list!
EVERY time Vincent goes to the bathroom, something goes wrong.
When Vincent was in the bathroom, she found that baggie of heroin in his jacket, which he left on the couch, and that’s where she snorted, thinking it was cocaine
Your little disclaimer before you started criticizing the movie was a fairly good idea, but it didn't make the 2.5/5 any less brutally preposterous to hear.
You'll be happy to know I stopped doing star ratings in my review, because everyone has different opinions on what the stars mean. 😅
Ah the memories, watched this on pirate VHS copy..too young really. Had the soundtrack on cassette - dialogue like the bible speech and the Royale wit Cheese were woven in between the tracks.
Peak Tarantino, along with Res Dogs and Jackie Brown.
Suggestion:
Kick Ass 2010
Mia and Fabian were definitely the main liabilities... unpopular opinion. 🤷🏽
I suggest that you watch True Romance.
Move to NJ, we've got loads of diners.
I was in NJ in November! But didn't have time for any diners unfortunately.
@@kaiielle Montreal has loads of breakfast diners, not sure how far you are from there. I've not been in 15 years so maybe things have changed.
you should react to “The Hateful Eight” my favorite tarantino movie
Yes Mia, I have little doubt that Vincent, high and dumb as he may have been, could comprehend the fact that you could not control whether or not something would INWARDLY evoke a response in you of being offended, and what he meant by promising not to "get offended" was to avoid outwardly demonstrating any such offense even if you did feel that way.
Rule number 1 - if you are responsible for crime bosses wife and wife OD’s….. don’t call the cops
I find Tarantino can drag at times when he gets too fixated on 'slice of life'. I also don't enjoy his use of slurs.
You might try some Tarantino written movies (but not Tarantino directed), to see where your dislike of his style sits. True Romance and From Dusk Till Dawn.
Halfway through and you have a new subscriber :) Looking forward to more reactions from you!
Welcome, and thanks so much!
You know I didn't know you were Canadian until you mentioned Tim Hortons. That's cool, I love Canada. 🍁🏒❤🤍
Yep! Been here my whole life.
You all miss the part in the car, they don't win the trophy, someone else did, and they stole it (was on a radio while they was driving)
its actually heard on a radio when butch picks up his watch and walks past an open window
yes mia snorted heroin thinking it was coke which if you do coke you shouldn't do heroine which is stronger than coke in the same timeframe
I'm not really sure you'd like any Tarantino other than maybe Jackie Brown, but I think everyone should see them. While Kill Bill is not as vulgar by your standards (well, at least in the language), I think there's plenty of atmosphere scenes that will bore you.
Guess I'll have to watch them and see what I think!
Uh-oh…..you commented on 90’s frill. Great! It’s the early signs of being labeled by the “next ones”. Yes….frills is all it took now a days. I remember my first time being put down by the”next ones”. “Hey nice tape!!! What’s next you gonna play Scottish greatest hits??!!??” Thinking……bloody peasants!
Not every movie is for everyone. Pulp Fiction is good maybe even great, but at the same time, it's not really one of my personal all-time favorite movies, either. Kill Bill Volume 1 is the best Tarantino film for me. But also I'm not the biggest Tarantino fan in general and started losing interest in his movies some time around the late 2000s. KB1 is the last movie of his that I watched that I even liked.
KB is still on my list to get to one day! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Marcellus Wallace's soul is in the case.
What’s a trigger?
Girl Buch was not wrong to be that mad, forgetting the watch could really get him dead, after everything he did to get out.
