Reservoir Dogs is a better film than Pulp Fiction.

Reservoir Dogs is much, much better than Pulp Fiction. Another reason I had high expectations for this movie. Another Tarantino movie with a few of the same actors from Reservoir Dogs(even they though weren't major parts), I thought it would be a good movie...but no.

You fail it. Where it = having taste in movies.

See, that's what I'm talking about. It isn't just OOT. People on IMDB loved this movie also, but I can't figure out why it's considered to be so great.

unrelated to this ill tell a funny story. i used to work in video store when the movie got released. i was in college in austin at the time.

so the movie was prereleased here. at the time tarantinto was not famous and no one knew of pulp ficiction. i only went because of his ealier movies. it was a riot. tarentio was there and the crowd was so loud and into it. the PA system was horrid though. it was a bunch of college students there dressed like normal college students.

w/ the movie tix we were able to go to a bar afterwards so i went there at night in my usual college attire which ripped up shorts and tshirt but everyone from the movie went home and changed.

it was a small event and i got there and most of the people were dressed in tuxes or suites. the women were in dresses. i was a bit uncomfortable a didnt stay long.



EDIT: typos be damned

I think it's pretty lame that you're getting flamed for your opinion of this movie.

However, it's a fact that you suck at making threads. Please do us a favor and stop.

It's not that I like mindless movies with a lot penis jokes and flaming poop, I just felt like this movie had no point to it. I don't know, maybe I am missing something.

The moral of the story is...
a quarter pounder in france is called a "royal with cheese" because of the metric system.

My DVD collection:Goodfellas, American History X, Casino, Waterboy, Reservoir Dogs, Scarface, Tupac:Resurrection.

I don't know about you, but I think you would have to find a complete moron and/or a blind person to tell you that all of those movies suck(with the exception of The Waterboy, that was a gift)...

Re: Pulp Fiction.
 

The reason you think that the film is highly over-rated is because it's been duplicated so many times. Interesting dialogue, wonderful acting, unconventional camera shots, and suspenseful scenes wrapped around a storyline that does not force feed you information. That's why you're not told what's in the briefcase. That's for you to decide. Although the main belief is that the suitcase contains the soul of Marsellus Wallace, but other ideas are that the suitcase contains Tarantino's first Oscar, the Elvis suit from True Romance, among other ideas.

Watching the movie for the first time today would not be the same as watching it when it was first releashed. The techniques used by Tarantino have been copied numerous times and I could name a dozen movies that should grant credit to Tarantino. But, to be fair, Tarantino himself 'stole' his techiniques from other directors but puts them together in a way which makes his film unique.

A much better review of Pulp Fiction can be found here by none other than Roger Ebert.

I hope this puts the movie in better perspective.

I don't really make threads all that often(I think the 3 or so that I made in OOT the last few days may have doubled my overall total threads created in OOT), and I do my best to make them not suck. It's hard to compete with people like Dominic and diebitter though [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Re: Pulp Fiction.
 

So have you really never watched this movie until now or did you just wait 10 years to post about it? Did it never bother you that half the time someone quoted a movie you had no idea what they were talking about?

Enjoy the movie daddy-o, don't be a [].
