JST Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 The smark in me laughs at anyone who hasn't seen this movie. Everybody has to see it at least once. The informational kindhearted guy in me directs you to this site, which tells the movie in chronological sequence. Fun note: Vincent complains to Eric Stoltz that "some guy fucking keyed my car". It was Butch, following their icy encounter at the bar.
Ravenbomb Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 the part with Vince and Butch in Butch's apartment takes place after the bit in the diner. Butch and Fabi...Butch and the French Chick </Hurley> going off on the chopper (it's not a motercycle), is the last thing that happens in the movie
Precious Roy Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Might as well ask since the topic is here, but what's everyone's favorite "story"? First time I saw it I liked the Jules/Vincent/Tarantino/Wolf thing the best, but over the years I've just become a total mark for the Butch plotline, and that's easily the highlight for me now. IMO Bruce Willis' best performance.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Saudi Arabia and UAE, the movie is shown chronologically. Movies taken out of chronological order must be offensive to them. Hmm. They must have HATED Memento. That must have been real fun to piece back together... *goes digging for the SE DVD*

CBright7831 Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 It's like that in almost all of Tarintino's films. They won't be in chronological order.
Precious Roy Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 It's like that in almost all of Tarintino's films. They won't be in chronological order. CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'RE THE 5000TH POSTER TO REPEAT THE SAME REPLY!
Youth N Asia Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 The two things believed to be in the briefcase are either the bosses soul or the diamonds from Res Dogs. But Quintin has come out and said he never planned for what's the in the case...so while it's something special, it's really nothing.

bob_barron Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 You're an idiot. My favourite story is the Bonnie Story. The shooting of Marvin, Jimmy, Mr. Wolf, the final diner scene- awesomeness
caboose Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 The Bonnie Situation simply because Tarantino spouts the best line in the entire film. Walken's watch story is a close second.

YOU'RE THE 5000TH POSTER TO REPEAT THE SAME REPLY! I'M NOT READING THE ENTIRE THREAD, ASSHOLE!!!! The thread is one PAGE FUCKING TWO. It's not like you're to fishing through a 10 page thread and reading every post on every page. It's on page TWO. If that's too much to read through, then maybe message boarding isn't for you.
JST Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 'The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides with the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will KNOW that my name is the LORD when I lay my vengeance upon thee!!' Gets me everytime.
Jericholic82 Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 It's obvious. Wrestlemania tickets. DUH
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted March 25, 2005 Author Report Posted March 25, 2005 Thanks everybody

I SAW THE QUESTION, REPLIED, AND LET THAT BE THAT! THAT'S THE WAY IT IS WITH ME SOMETIMES SO LEARN TO LOVE IT, SWEETCAKES!
Art Sandusky Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 This is a film that I loved and saw why it was beloved, but at the same time can't bring a lot about it to the front of my mind if I want to. I always forget half the people that are in it are actually in it.
Crimson Platypus Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 The thing that I like about the movie that most people seem to miss is that it's not actually in chronological order. I'm not sure if people realize it, but Tarantino does that a lot.
AmericanDragon Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 It's pretty obvious that it isn't in chronological order.
bob_barron Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 The world would be a better place if CBright stopped posting. I watched Pulp Fiction this weekend, for at least the 15th-20th time and I fell in love with it all over again. Wathing it with the trivia track on the SE DVD makes it so much more enjoyable
notJames Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 I like the trivia track too. At first, I was disappointed that there wasn't a commentary track from QT. However, after watching some of his interviews, where he just rambles and rambles and goes off into incoherent tangents in that desparate, nasally voice of his (don't even get me started on his cackle), I thank allah that they left it off. As for the movie iself, it's forever in my top 3. I still have a scar where my friend Andrea dug her nails into my forearm during the adrenaline shot scene. Memories…
bob_barron Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 I love QT to death but I agree with notjames- if he ever did commentary he would just go off on tangents about other movies and directors he's seen and he'd totally lose track. The Charlie Rose interview and Siskel and Ebert segment are good enough. I learned so much backstory and information thanks to the trivia track
DMann2003 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 Like Bob I too watched this film again over the weekend, actually sat down and watched it didn't just have it playing on in the background. There were a lot of criticisms about Tarantino being all about style and not much else. If that were really the case this film would've fell out of importance like many of its copycats (2 Days in the Valley, Things to do in Denver When You're Dead), but this film has more going for it than just its style (though there is an abundance of it). The dialogue is like Shakespeare, not in what is being said mind you, but the rythym and way it's said. And I think those who didn't turn away from the violence (of which on screen there really isn't much of, but it is intense) or the language (of which yes there is a lot of) found the film to have a moral center. Each story is a tale of redemption/saving someone. A man like Jules, who experiences a life-changing event walks away while Vincent, who blows this event off, ends up dying. I tried several times to see this film in a theater when it first came out 10 years ago, each time I seemed to have something stop me (note I was 15 at the time). I finally saw it on a Sunday afternoon in March of 1995, and I was floored. I had never seen a film like it, certainly not on my own. Yes, it still packs a punch a decade later.
bob_barron Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 I'd love to see it on the big screen. The one thing I don't like about the trivia track is that I think it defends the film a bit too much. It's like- we get it- it's not the most violent film of all time. I remember the first time I saw Pulp Fiction, it was in 1998 and it was on one of the PPV channels since they were also showing Jackie Brown. I was completely blown away. I got an A+ writing a paper about it in English.
Nighthawk Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 Uma Thurman pissed me off. If I ever met somebody who talked like that, I'd smack them.
AboveAverage484 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 "Pulp Fiction" is a fairly easy movie to decipher. If you want real confusion, watch "Once Upon a Time in America."
Nighthawk Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 They did cut like 2 hours out of that, initially. That would make any movie hard to understand.
