Jesus Christ.

This is what I mean when I say 'Pulp Fiction' ruined
modern film.


I'll hold back for now.

No, because movies are supposed to be made to be WATCHED
not discussed over coffee for months after the fact. Again-
the Pulp Fiction generation seems to miss this, and y'all
like to overanalyze films to make yourself seem deep and
smart.

Films used to be dope because EVERYTHING including SUBTEXT
was 100% OBVIOUS. Take Goodfellas -- lots of subtext. No artsy
fartsy bullshit. Just DIRECT storytelling. That's the way its
posed to be done.

If it wasn't 100% apparent in the first viewing, then its
an irrelevant detail. All that "under the surface" is just a way
to make a film seem "deeper"....its a goddamn crime story with
some witty characters. Its not a commentary on the Boxer Rebellion
or a post-structuralist account of Susan B. Anthony.

No, it wasn't.

No, it didn't. It was lame.




This is getting boring.
