You didn't know what you started because I've
been making the exact same arguments as you did
on here for years.

The reason why I'm so persistent is that when I originally
asked the same question you did, everyone flew in here on
some SUPER "holier than thou" bullshit trying to clown me
for "not getting it" and all sorts of bullshit.

Its not you, and you're not alone.

A handful of people think for themselves.

A small handful, but they exist.

Yep

I

Exactly. Sam Jackson's character really was not very
special or cool. Never quite got the fascination.

The two explanations I get are:

1)"Gosh, he was cool because he was, so shush"

or

2)He was a metaphor for Moses or something retarded
like that. Lol.


Neither are good explanations.


In truth, there was nothing great about his
character, at all.

But it wasn't original nor specifically stylistic.
There are dozens of movies that had better style
that I've never heard lauded the same way.

My man - I'm feeling you.

No one has ever been able to, so you're not going to
get a straight answer here.


Film opinions are infectious, even when they are false.
The 'Pulp Fiction' as masterpiece idea swept through the
population like Plague, homie. I remember a girl
from college who had the poster in her room and hadn't
seen the movie. Why? Because it was cool to be into
'Pulp Fiction'. Just one of those things.
