Lol.

"Mood, tone, whatever" = you manufacturing a reason to
like the movie. Wasn't shit interesting about its "mood"
or "tone." It had no "mood." It was stupid, slickster
crime story bullshit that has already been done a thousand
fucking times.

Even worse, HE JUST HAD THE SAME "TONE" in Resevoir Dogs...
....done better in my opinion....Lol.

You're making it "inventive," again, because you don't
know how to think for yourself.

'Lethal Weapon' was 300,000 times better than Pulp Fiction
in every single possible way:

Story, performance, coolness factor, dialogue, inventiveness,
everything.

So please, STFU.


>Why would I have to invent reasons? I could see people
>inventing reasons to like Jackie Brown because they built up
>QT so much but I genuinely liked Pulp Fiction.

No, you didn't.

You in here talking shit about "mood" and "tone" which
are subjective enough that you don't have to justify it,
which is perfect because that is precisely the type of
plea cop you need to defend your liking a bad movie

("Dude, I like, really dug its mooood, like oh my god.")


>I'd say Bruce Willis was as good in Pulp Fiction. Damon Wayans
>was miscast IMO.

Lol. How?

How the fuck was Damon Wayans miscast?

How?

GTFOH.

Damon was excellent.

Now you're just INVENTING REASONS to hate on 'The Last
Boyscout' just so you can justify liking 'Pulp Fiction'
better.

And Willis was DEFINITELY NOT better in 'Pulp Fiction'.

Just look at the DEPTH AND RANGE in the character in
'The Last Boyscout'.

No fucking comparison.

Y'all hilarious with the plea coppage.

>I thought Sam Jackson and Travolta were great
>as was Uma Thurman.

Are you serious? Uma?

What did she do? Act cool?

Lol. Wow. Y'all STAY on some bullshit.

>Again, I just don't see how you can
>compare the two. If QT had written a scene as ludicrous as
>Billy Blanks blowing his head off at a football game, you'd
>have a field day with it.

That shit was dope. Football players be depressive
and fucked up on drugs, and gambling is a huge problem
in sports...sure, its over the top, but in a sensible way.
The shit had rhyme and reason.


>And? Did I say it was Sam Jackson's best role? No. But I think
>everyone gave very good performances and raised the level of
>the film.

Riiiight.


>It's pulp fiction. If people thought it was more than that, I
>don't know what to tell you. Popcorn flicks get nominated. The
>year Pulp Fiction was nominated it was up against Four
>Weddings and a Funeral.

Lol. 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' was faaaaaaaaaar better
than 'Pulp Fiction' and is not SERIOUS or SAD, but is not
a B-movie by any stretch.

> Hell, Titanic was basically a popcorn
>flick IMO.

Are you comparing a 200 million dollar mega production
to some dumbass slickster crime tale?

Wow.

Now you're just copping pleas.

'Titanic' was boring and long and not very good.

It was, however, a mega production, and not a goddamn
"popcorn flick" in the same vein as Pulp Fiction.

That's what I mean by COPPING PLEAS. You're just INVENTING
REASONS to justify liking a bad movie.

>THe Fugitive was nominated.

Can't for the life of me understand why you brought
this up. This had some of the illest performances
of the 90s.

>Juno was just a teen
>movie and got nominated. Back to the Future was nominated for
>best screenplay, at least.

Are you comparing the screenplay quality of
'Back to the Future' to that of 'Pulp Fiction?'

Are you fucking joking?

'Back to the Future' had one of the best written, most
thought out, well put together storylines in the history
of film.

What did 'Pulp Fiction' have?

Slickster dialogue?

Lol.

Seriously doggie, GTFOHWTBS

>And I think it's a great popcorn movie.

Okay, like 'Teen Wolf' and '16 Candles?'

Maybe 'Bruce Almighty?'

Maybe in the 'Tango and Cash' sort
of genre

I can see that.

>One of the best ever?
>It's not even the best film of it's year; I'll take Shawshank
>over it any day.

Thanks, captain obvious.

I needed you to tell me that 'Shawshank Redemption' was
better than 'Pulp Fiction'.

Wow.

Lol
