i don't know about that. what was "more original" with pulp fiction? his "influences", like in all of his movies, are still there. he used old and tired themes for his storylines througout pulp. he even explained it as such.

you cited how "influential" his movie was, not me.
the movie in and of itself is painfully average.

i think he has run out of ideas, and has already run to the well too many times. his style of movies is his style of movies, but you still have to upgrade if you are going to do more of the same.
this new movie? i don't know.
death proof wreaked of a guy who was too in love with himself and his past success to take the project seriously. much different from the kill bills where he gave 100% effort and it showed in the quality of the films.
