1. It's not a steaming pile of anything.
2. It's not garbage.
3. You are a steaming pile.
4. You are garbage.

Care to substantiate those claims, m80?

It's le quirky dialogue

You have to make a legitimate argument against it before anyone defends it

>Marsellus Wallace don't like to be fucked by anybody except Mrs. Wallace

>Gets raped in the next scene

bravo tarintino

yeah but he got pipe hitting niggas

You're so underaged you probably think he means he has friends with pipes to beat Zed with.

Fine.


The movie is empty, completely.
It is witty dialogue to no end.
It uses shocking subject matter simply to shock with no greater purpose.
It pretends to be avantgarde with its nonlinear™ editing but in actuality is not even nonlinear.
Nearly everything that Tarantino gets credit for in the movie was done by other people better earlier.
Finally, I hate that the worst Cannes Jury in history chose it to win the Palm d'Or over Kieslowski's Red.

i always assumed he meant meth/crack heads

Pulp Fiction is post-modernism for idiots. With Pulp Fiction, the America viewing public finally acknowledged all the films they once saw as a "guilty pleasures" as legitimate art. All of a sudden Texas Chainsaw Massacre was inducted into New York's Museum of Modern Art. Slasher films were revived and shared movie theaters with "high art". Now people had an excuse to say all the crappy movies they had seen were important. All of a sudden academic papers were being written on the virtues of Ernest films. Quality of writing dipped, because people were more concerned with "impressions to ideas" or used it as an excuse not to actually learn anything so they could justify sitting alone masturbating to porn, rather than reading book. It was another excuse for our generation to feel entitled to their tastes, and consequently defend them inarticulately.

People are nostalgic for the days of Pulp Fiction, when indie film making "actually meant something." This was when not every indie film starred Michael Cera or was directed by Wes Anderson. This was when indie films were "cool and unpredictable."

I believe Pulp Fiction does not mean anything, its a void that convinced the film viewing public of its importance and quality with xenophobia disguised as irony and substance veiled by coolness.

This film is not unique, it is empty. It is a number situations rather than subjects, and it made this generation dumber.

Well at least its better than Four Weddings and a Funeral. (or is it? They were both nominated, I guess they should both be classics.)

I'm going to need a tl;dr on this, autismo.

Care to meet me in the backlot of Tesco? Glad to substantiate your face

Pulp Fiction is seriously too smart for you and you don't understand what the film achieved.

Copy and pasta.

>It pretends to be avantgarde with its nonlinear™ editing
and it is.

name 5 movies like that before it

I can't, I'm already substantiating your crush right now.

Maybe sometime next week.

Zed's dead baby

It's an amazing film.
Are you one of those people that hate something just because everyone else likes it?
I bet you hate Game Of Thrones too.

ITT underages hating that movies were cool before them. now they got only franchises nonstop

>name 5 movies like that before it
ahhaha, dude, it just begins in medias res and then tells a discrete linear story before showing you how that beginning scene ends. That's not a nonlinear movie.

Here are some movies that did much, much more with time in editing before it.
Last Year at Marienbad
La Point Courte
Muriel or the Time of Return
Sans Soleil
The Ceremony

I mean hell, even the Slaughterhouse Five adaptation did more with time than Pulp Fiction.

didn't read lol

are you godfrey jones, user? or even worse, did you actually think his review was sagely and worth propagating?

>Game of Thrones
Hahahah, holy shit.

I don't like this stuff because it's all pandering garbage. Of course, everyone likes it, most people seem to like being pandered to.

>I bet you hate Game Of Thrones too
but that's actually awful, especially starting from season 4

Babbys first "film"

rateyourmusic does movies now?

It's a legitimately good movie. A modern biblical parable.

>A modern biblical parable.
Please elaborate.

if butch's dad never had a watch up his ass, Marcellus would never had a dick up his ass

Tell me thee dungeon rape scene wasn't just filler

In a linear movie, the first scene finishes before the second. It might not be as intense as you like, but it fits.
In fact, many scenes have such departures before their final acts.
What's more is nobody knows those other movies. We have a nonlinear film here that didn't put audiences off. That's a good thing.

>It is witty dialogue to no end.
Perhaps, but you might praise this in a different setting.

Consider that the "point" of the movie is to make light of traditionally heavy subject matters with casual sitcom dialogue. It maintains a slice-of-life charm with extraordinary lives. Not every film needs an "end" for its dialogue.

And it looks and sounds good.

Because of this, the movie is not completely empty. It's a visually interesting romp.
>I hate that the worst Cannes Jury in history chose it to win the Palm d'Or over Kieslowski's Red.
I think you're just upset because it's overrated, so your taking your opinions to extremes.

I think it's pretty well-stated. He isn't wrong when he talks about people praising blatant campiness and stuff out of some sense of ironic genius.

>xenophobia disguised as irony
But I don't get this point. Anyone care to elaborate?

you can read the story as being about christian forgiveness. jules takes the miracle he sees seriously and leaves the criminal life, vincent doesn't and is killed by butch. jules doesn't ice pumpkin and honey bunny when just a few hours earlier he wouldn't have given a second thought to killing them. butch can leave his enemy marsellus to his fate, but decides to go back and help him, then rides away on a motorcycle named "grace"

muh non linear plot

The dialogue. I love the Jack Rabbit Slim's scene because of how comfy and atmospheric the dialouge is. The Bruce Willis subplot sucks and the non-linear story is not special. The dialogue is the only reason I love it.

It always did

Citizen Kane
The Killing (this is explicitly what Tarantino was inspired by for the non-linear narrative of Reservoir Dogs)
Point Blank
Once Upon a Time in America
The Conformist

not hard dude. the fact that you think it is just shows what a know-nothing you are. watch some more movies before you make grand pronouncements about the history of cinema

thats one of the most important scenes in the film. if you dont realize why, then you dont deserve to watch it

>Being this much of an edgy little shit baiting people who like quality films.
