No, you're not the only one.
People invent reasons to like 'Pulp Fiction' mostly because pop culture has told them that they are supposed to like it. When they watch it and don't like it, their brain conjures a reason to, so that they don't feel left out.
I've heard no less that 20 different explanations for why people like that movie, and 90% of them are complete bullshit.
Its no good, at all.
If people overanalyzed most movies as much as they did PF, than people would like most films just the same. They don't do that with most movies because most films aren't an all access pass to feeling cool and hip like PF is/was.
Thankfully, I'm cool and hip without liking it.
And my real beef with 'Pulp Fiction' is not the film itself, but how bad it was for film: It ushered in an era of superficiality that we haven't really shaken yet....really fucked things up.
