[L2R]

Pulp Fiction, based on dialogue alone, is, in my opinion, the most re-watchable film of all time.

sadly, I have tired of that thing of beauty. i watched it far too many times.

Where have you gone, Joe Dimaggio, er, Quentin Tarantino?!!!!!!!!

What are you talking about? Inglorious Basterds is coming out in a few months!

 

[L O V E L I F E]

I might very be alone on this one, but imo, The POTENTIALLY Greatest Director Of My Lifetime blew his wad on Dogs, Pulp, and The Fourth Room.

Some good quality stuff since then, but certainly not up to his potential.

Just my opinion (which is always correct), of course.

 

[L2R]

i dunno if i agree, tbc in the tarantino poll thread?

Absofuckinglutely.

Just make sure you get the Kubrick-directed 1980 production, not the lame one they made in the 90's. 8)

^ They re-did it in the 90s? Dear God, I swear, King must have no concern to retain any sort of respectability to his stories (not that half of them deserve so me tbh). I can't imagine how much money he must have accepted to give up the rights; couldn't be more than, what, 50 bucks? 8)

edit: I saw that King himself wrote the screenplay to the second version. Which makes me dislike him even more, somehow. lol

 

[dshock]

^I was just gonna say something about that.

But yeah, the guy has no taste

 

[Belisarius]

King didn't like the Kubrick version because it diverged drastically from his novel. Clearly aspects like "uniqueness", "consummate style", and "symbolic beauty" didn't figure into his opinion.

Having seen both, I can say that the latter is good but forgettable, while Kubrick's will "shine" long after King is buried, IMO.

Tsk tsk Amy. You won't be happy until every thread is a Stephen King thread. Being that he's my favorite author, I have no problem with that.
