Tarantino's filmography is basically him screaming "I'M WRITING"

Yea, but that's why it's good. That style was really new and has been done a lot now. It's like saying citizen kane ia bad because it uses panning a lot.

Say what you want about Tarantino, but I think Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece of a film. Don't care too much for his other filmography but Pulp Fiction is great.
>>
>>84288035
Get your head out of your ass. The scene has great dynamics and Jackson's delivery was excellent.

Tarantino's earlier stuff does tend to seem a bit autistic at times, but nonetheless he's a fantastic filmmaker.

I'll describe a Tarantino film and you have to guess which one it is:

>a tense standoff
>a camera shot from inside a car trunk.
>>
>>84288035
Tarantino has a few moments like that where it actually takes me out of the movie. The very beginning of The Hateful Eight in the stagecoach. That dialogue feels very awkward and forced to me. But it eventually settles down and the rest of the movie is pretty damn good.
>>
>>84288533
I think any other actor doing the dead nigger storage scene would have been better. It is the only low point in the film and even then it isn't that bad.

The wallet thing is fine if you can ignore all the nerds who buy that wallet.
>>
>>84288401
Griffith for example

>>84288585
Okay, let me clarify. His earlier stuff can be uncomfortably autistic. The autism in his later work is much more tolerable, and even enjoyable.
>>
>>84288466
No it's just tedious crap.

>>84288619
Does he really use shots from inside car trunks that often? I've never noticed.

Usually, perhaps. However, I'm drunk. This is about the best I can currently muster.

But panning can be used to tell any story. "I'M WRITING" can't.

Most of the famous scenes in the three you listed are trunk shots. The one in Inglourious Basterds is just the ending shot of Landa looking up at Aldo and Little Man. I can't think of the one in Django Unchained or The Hateful Eight.

But that Pei Mei and buried scene is in Kill Bill...because it's one movie. It's a four and half hour long movie.

I'm mainly talking about the upward angle he uses. Some scenes he uses a trunk show is of a character in the trunk looking up at the characters (like From Dusk Till Dawn and RD).

one of the dullest franchises in the history of TV franchises. Seriously, each episode following the boy FBI agent and his pals from Twin Peaks Sheriff Department as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Lynch vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing an episode; he made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for his meditation. The Twin Peaks series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least FWWM was good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the script was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a fire walk with me, the author wrote instead that the character "had the fury of his own momentum".

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Lynch's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that he has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Twin Peaks by the same Chris Carter. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are watching Twin Peaks at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to watch X-Files." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you watch "Twin Peaks" you are, in fact, trained to watch X-Files.

The dead nigger storage part was definitely the lowest and awkward point in the movie. I can see he can get away with that kind of dialogue in reservoir dogs, cause it's a bunch of hard white guy criminals and the way the used it made sense, and it's believable those guys would be talking like that. They're not worried about trying to be politically correct around each other

But the scene in pulp fiction was awkward cause Tarantinos character would not be throwing the word around in front of someone like Jules and everyone act like it's no problem, also it just looked awkward the way the dialogue was done in general. I guess in a way it sounds better if he wants the character to say something along the lines of "do I have a sign that says dead___storage?" And nigger just seems to be the one that rolls off the tongue better, like " dead guy storage, dead asshole storage," don't sound right.

Maybe dead man storage would've sounded better and made more sense. But I mean if he really wanted to use nigger instead then he should've casted a black guy instead of trying to shove his ugly mug in the movie

You wasted a ton of time writing about how in reservoir dogs it's realistic because it's criminals talking to criminals when it's THE EXACT same thing in Pulp Fiction. From the talk that Jules has in the car with Vincent one can infer that Jimmy is a criminal acting within another outfit that is at least neutral with Wallus in a sea of people who are hostile or who couldn't give a fuck.

Oh wait, why am I bothering, this won't make sense to you because you're retarded.

I've misunderstood, I think. I'm more in the camp saying that the writing in the scene was rather effective.

>>84291533
I think you missed the obvious part where Jules is BLACK.....and everyone in reservoir is white.

Let me put it in simple terms for your tiny brain

White guy talking about "niggers" to other White guys =okay

Frail weak ass WHITE guy yelling angrily about "dead NIGGERS" to a BLACK hitman= trouble and not good or realistic

Think before you speak up next time you mongoloid

Implying any black guy wouldn't get pissed about a white guy yelling niggers at him wouldn't remotely piss him off, regardless of their fucking criminal career.

What the fuck is Jules going to do? If Jules kills Jimmy or attacks him for calling him a nigger Jules is going to get fucked by whoever Jimmy works for and on top of that the fucking police since he has a corpse in the back of his car and is covered in fucking DNA.

You don't really know any niggers that well do you? You damn straight you can throw it around when your nigger body comes to your house with a dead body to clean up & your wife coming home.

It was very realistic from my experience but I'm not a pussy white boy who's only contact with blacks was eye contact, followed by crossing to the other side of the street so as not to pass him.

You really think pulp fiction is meant to be taken as a comedy. Just cause there's humorous parts in it doesn't make it a comedy.

Again....this isn't the internet where you edgelords think you can just say it to any black guy and they won't be pissed about it, or you'd be as comfortable to say it cause you're behind a computer screen

Doesn't matter what the fuckin genre is you moron, were talking about the scene. It the genre. Having the movie be a fucking comedy black comedy, gangster, action doesn't matter

The scene wasn't done that way for comedic value. Tarantino wasn't thinking "hey you know what'd be hilarious is if we have this guy say dead nigger storage" he did it trying to be clever and edgy and it ended up looking weird cause he didn't think how that scene should have really played out

You're somewhat right. In real life it would have been kinda strange and Jules would have been thinking to himself "this mutha fucka...." But that fact that Jules brought a dead body to his friend's house on such short notice gave Jimmy all the right to be outraged. Saying the word "nigger" in that instance is small potatoes compared to the dead fucking body in your driveway.

>>84294231
do you really think there wasn't racial problems in the early 90s? Did you miss the part where the brutality was on blacks?
google Rodney Kind, 1992 LA riots, and if you want google the OJ trial just for a little more history on it


You guys are acting like I thought the scene was very offensive and should've been taken out. It just didn't look right, I think he got too zealous with trying to either make "realistic" or "edgy" dialogue and went overboard with this particular scene.

You guys get so uptight the second someone points out how a scene couldve been done better cause of the misuse of the word nigger, and you morons get all up in arms about it.

But like I keep saying you guys are clearly too dense to see past that, I mean for fucks sake you're actually under the impression that there wasn't any racial tension in the early 90s. Like you really think that. So that right there just further proved you're too stupid to have this kind of argument.


But regardless of all this I still loved the movie, its one of my favorite movies, but i will also admit that the dead nigger storage dialogue could have definitely been done better. I'm not trying to go spike lee on the guy cause his other movies at least made sense for the word to be thrown around like in reservoir dogs, jackie brown, django unchained, and even pulp fiction Except....Dead nigger storage scene

I get what you're saying in that sense, and I wouldnt think Jules should have attacked him or berated him for it. Same reason it was dumb for vincent to bitch that wolf didnt say please..

To elaborate,
Butch's dad is a Vietnam vet who got tortured (and possibly raped) by gooks.
Fast forward 30+ years, and now Butch is at the mercy of hillbilly serial killer rapists.
Butch's dad was dehumanized and never got properly vindicated as a result of his time in vietnam. That gets passed on to his son.

Butch vindicates himself (and by extension, his dad) by saving Marcellus. Unlike his dad and Walken's character, both Butch and Marcellus come out of their situation alive.

sorry but the whole "reddit" thing means nothing to me, and it is probably one of the cringiest "insults" you guys try to throw around. I never even use the site, and no one should ever want to associate themselves as a 4chan user. Too many cringy, contrarian, racist, pedo autist on here to ever want to be associated with this site.

spacing points in the paragraph so you autists can read it without breaking concentration?

You guys can barely read enough as it is, I need to keep it as easy for you as possible so you can keep up

I've always considered Tarantino a better writer than director, but this scene is fine. He's consistently competent at worst. He makes fun, well shot, well acted, entertaining films (which is all I can ask for).

Also, Jimmy and Jules worked together at some point, so Jimmy saying nigger probably wouldn't set Jules off. The scene is awkward as hell, but I don't see it as unrealistic. If anything it's Tarantino's line delivery that makes it a low point scene.

I know what a paragraph is, its to space it out to read it easier.

Is this what you guys really resort to when you lose arguments? You go for grammar and paragraph structures?

And jesus christ with the fucking
>hurr protip

do you have any like self awareness or originality? You need to constantly throw around stupid phrases you guys use all the time. Seriously grow up, and get off the computer for a while, shit is clearly melting your brain.

Stop trying to associate yourself with this site and get a life.

Its weird cause I really do like his writing, and really do like the way he does the off topic stuff dialogue, but the only time I had a slight problem with this was death proof when the conversations the girls were having was insanely boring to listen to, and I forget which scene exactly, but its basically the way OP desctibed for how he felt in the pulp fiction scene. But for me it was in Hateful 8. I cant for the life of me think of the scene but i remember hearing the dialogue at one point and just got slightly annoyed on how much it just felt like it was tarantino trying to show off and look clever or whatever. I'm pretty sure it was a scene when Oswaldo was talking and it just became too much and annoying to listen to
>>
>>84295691
also i was kinda thinking to myself maybe they did work together, but regardless it still seemed weird, even if you're friends and former associates, race is race, and it seemed odd the guy was casually throwing the word around at him.

Also thinking of it now, I wonder if Jimmy's character was probably just Mr. Brown in reservoir dogs.

It is kind of weird how he has and even mentioned vincent and victor are related and therefor in the same universe, but they also have Wolf in there and Mr Pink.

Like i dont mind the whole shared universe thing, but it just slightly bothers that its not that consistent with the characters.

Also thinking back on all this, it really does suck that there was never a Vega brothers movie. I feel like he still could do it if he wanted, he could either just cast two new guys or just cast them as they are now. I mean if hes already gonna be inconsistent with the characters her might as well just cast the two guys as the Vega brothers being older. Id much rather see a movie on those two than a kill bill3

Your opinion is objectively wrong. It tells me much more about you than the scene you're discussing. You're either a troll or somebody who doesn't understand tone, pacing, humor, or anything about dialogue.

To all these retards moaning about Jimmy calling Jules a nigger, the thing to remember is context. The reason Jules doesnt go all:

"AWW HELL NAH NO YOU DINT MUTHA FUKA" *BANG BANG BANG*

...Is because of who he is dealing with and his current predicament. Prehaps even familiarity.

The reason Jules is meek and coy about it is because Jimmy holds all the cards in this situation, plus, though we can only speculate at Jimmys criminal position, his nice middle class neigborhood can make us deduce he is not some panhandler who deserves no fear or respect.

Also, Jules is noit a simple hood rat. he has enough brains to realize that Jimmy is merely venting his anger to a inflated degree which given the OTT circumstances is forgivable.

Also we can gather they have a long standing relationship, buisness or personal, which means whats the occasional racial slur between friends?

TL;DR: It's all about the CONTEXT. baby!

Yeah Death Proof is just a strange Tarantino entry to begin with. It was a blast to watch in theaters with Planet Terror, but on its own...meh.

I need to rewatch The Hateful 8. I remember really enjoying it, but there were also a few issues that I remember having with it.

>>84296097
I've never bought into the connected universe idea. It's fun to theorize about, but really doesn't serve much of a perpose (other than maybe explaining the super stylized nature of Tarantino's films).

A Vega Bros film would be dope though.

Pulp Fiction is alright. Inglorious Basterds is amazing.

No cars in Django.
Pulp Fiction isn't about revenge.
Jackie Brown isn't about revenge.

Could be Kill Bill.

Kill Bill is complete shit.

you dont know jimmys background, only what you can infer from the fact that he's helping a pair of hitmen get rid of a a dead body and car with a head blown across the backseat. not only is he helping them, THEY came to HIM because they (professional killers specifically assigned to a job by the head of an organized crime group) didn't know anyone more qualified off the top of their head.

what you can infer from that is alot but you refuse to do so
in short, jules and vincent know jimmys background, you dont

>>84289931
They wanted to put a car with a dead body in it in his garage to clean it. He has every right to be pissed, especially since they showed up without telling him those details. Jules isn't retarded, he knows his friend, that he needs a dire favor from, is very angry and in the heat of the moment uses the word nigger to emphasize how much of a big deal it is. Jules isn't just going to chimp out on him when that wouldn't solve his initial problem.

I got it. already understood it. obviously theyre all in the same buisiness, i wasnt under the impression the guy was not involved in the same business. The point is I just found it a little odd because normally people don't just scream out nigger a bunch of times so comfortably in front of black people just because they are angry. Yes obviously there are racist people out there like that, but it just felt like tarantino was just trying to push the word out there. It just felt out of place is all. Not saying it was shitty and should be taken out, it just didnt seem like a realistic response

nothing wrong with it. Samuel Jackson was Idris Elba before Idris Elba

Always seems weird how he kills the guy on the couch, disturbing because it's so casual there's little reaction
>>
>>84302659
It's not just angry
Criminals bringing a fucking dead guy they killed by accident into your house unannounced warrants a little more than anger
>>
>>84302659
People didn't care about racist terms like that as much in the '90s. Also I don't understand how you can't fully absorb the context.
>>
>>84303640
Pretty sure nigger was always offensive. There was never a brief period where all black people were like " you know maybe nigger isn't really that offensive anymore" it was always offensive and everyone just started using it casually
>>
>>84303810
Yeah, neat opinion.

Did you not listen to any of the dialogue in that entire part of the film? Jules tells Vincent in the car before going to the house that Jimmie is the only buddy in town and that if he isn't home he doesn't know what he's going to do. Jimmie is literally his life line at this point. He doesn't even tell Jimmie what the exact situation is over the phone, he just tells him enough to get Jimmie to grant him use of his house as a sanctuary. In the house Jules says that one wrong remark could get them kicked out. Jules knows that he can't do anything that warrant him getting kicked out of the house no matter how many personal or moral lines may be crossed, so when Jimmie appropriately freaks out about there being a previously untold dead body in his garage he loses his mind and uses the word nigger. He's not using it to offend Jules and Jules knows this. Obviously Jules isn't going to get into an argument with Jimmie because he doesn't want to get kicked out and he has no other options. When Jimmie said nigger, he was using hyperbole to get his point across. Not only that, but the use of the word nigger in this context doesn't mean "I hate your race", he's trying to convey that the situation is as close to the worst it could possibly be within the limits of certain allowed environmental possibilities, thus Jimmie takes the content that produced the reaction, the dead black man, and used the word to articulate how low in quality the situation was, like how nigger most accurately means the most poor quality black person. You need to have a certain amount of rationality to be able to fully understand subtleties in language like this.

This sequence depicts those goons's everyday life that probably takes place in late 70s to 80s ... It probably is just about mood setting, though. What do you think they should be doing according to you ??? Goofing off at Mac D, bitching bow their boss, Wallace, & woofing bow how babelicious Mia is ?
