Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

[edgie]

Just re-watching, Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds.

Shit film.

 

[edgie]

So I was looking up famous people who are 69 years old to try and predict who's next, and realised that if Bon Scott and Freddy Mercury were still alive they'd also be 69. I don't know why but that surprised me

I think your first mistake was not realising that Bon Scott and Freddie Mercury have already passed...

 

[Duck Farmer]

No way. Reservoir dogs , pulp fiction,django are all better!

Pulp Fiction, yes.
Reservoir Dogs/Django Unchained, not so much.
Looking forward to The Hateful 8.

I saw it over the break and thought pretty much the same. I still enjoyed it though.

I saw the original 3 Star Wars movies when they had their original cinema releases and then didn't bother with any of the prequels.

I was a bit young to see Star Wars at the movies so Empire Strikes back was my cinematic debut. I peaked too early.

 

[tribey]

Shit film.

Carn. Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are superior. But it's still solid.

Huh? I said if they were still alive they'd be 69

So finally got around to seeing Ep 7. Felt like I was watching a remake of Ep 4.

Last night the same. First scene onwards threw to Hans Solo on the walkway. Was a far better movie than I expected though so not complaining.

I actually thought burn after reading was a tarantino movie and was surprised to find out it was the coen brothers.

 

[edgie]

Look, my opinion on Tarantino is harsher than an internet movie critic on George Lucas, but Pulp Fiction is a timeless masterpiece.

The rest of his pretentious w***ery has never enthralled me, aside from Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs.

Death Proof was his failed attempt at making a film in the style of the Ozploitation movement of the 70s. It was dreadful but I respect his knowledge

That's... weird.

Nothing as retrospectively typical of its time as Pulp Fiction can rightly be described as timeless. That may not be Pulp Fiction's fault, but it's a harsh truth.

 

[Papa G]

Never rated the Kill Bills. Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are classics though. Didn't mind Jackie Brown. The rest meh.

Disagree.

Pulp Fiction was to movies what Nirvana was to music. Are Nirvana aging?

(please say yes, I never liked them)

Couldn't disagree more on Pulp Fiction, the only thing that hasn't aged well is Kathy Griffin and Bruce Willis' sneans.

Hey, it's still pretty high up.

To be honest I severely over-watched it in the late 90s.

 

[PAWt]

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Reservoir Dogs
3. Daylight
4. = Everything else

 

[Zakk Wylde]

I'm about to start Mr Robot.

If Tarantino stopped putting himself in his films they would be far more enjoyable.

Who told the campaigner he could act?

No one ever. I am pretty sure he just does it as a "**** you" these days.

We have to be overdue for a new HugeJohnson thread???

This is a harsh truth. I love Pulp Fiction but that Jimmy (Jimmie?) character shits me.

****s the ****ing movie is what Jimmy does.

Compared to M. Night Shymalan, Quentin Tarantino is Todd Phillips.
