My point wasn't that Pulp Fiction was necessarily his best.  But it was the first time most people were exposed to his style.  I also like Inglorious Basterds better.  But when that movie came out Tarantino was a well-known director.  His unusual style wasn't shocking the way it was when Pulp Fiction first hit theaters. 

100%, I think Laley is missing the historical context here. Pulp Fiction CHANGED cinema, what he did hadn't been done before. I love IG too, but it didn't have the same cultural impact that Pulp Fuction had. Hell, just look at the Simpsons, they modeled an entire episode around Pulp Fiction.

Gotcha. Yeah I missed what you were saying. 

Watched Netflix documentary on Steubenville rape case last night called "Roll Red Roll." There was a lot I had forgotten about this but god damn that clip of Michael Nodianos talking about the girl being raped/dead...that's gotta fuck with him the rest of his life. There's no "young, dumb, drunk, silly mistake" defense in what he said.

There's a part of me that feels sorry for that guy.  I in no way condone what he did or said on that video.  It was sickening beyond repair.  But, he struck me as an immature high school jackass.  Put an immature jackass in a room with his buddies that he is constantly trying to impress, throw in alcohol and you have a recipe for trouble.  

Again, the video was absolutely horrible.  There is no excuse for it.  But even if this guy takes significant steps to change himself, better himself, get right with life, etc, this thing will always follow him around.

Eh I think that's giving him too much credit. Also, if I just watched the video of him on mute and had no idea who he was or what he was saying, I'd think he had an extremely punchable face. Nevermind he's joking about a "dead" girl getting raped while giggling like a drunk hick.

Were you watching it with me? I did the same.

I'm still baffled at how all that played out. Makes me want to wash myself as I was in Steubenville that fall. Just disgusting.

I love that they made a documentary of it, and they ruined his life for eternity.  

Woodstock, on Netflix.

^^^LOVED IT.

American Hangman and Kidnapping Stella. Both were average, but entertaining.

The Hangover - 9.5/10

The Hangover - 9.5/10

Great movie.  The sequels leave a lot to be desired.  But that first one was great.  

My Friend Dahmer - eh. It wasn't very good. 

Ready or Not. Definitely worth a watch. 

The Mule.  Clint Eastwood is always great, but there were a lot of parts of the movie that I thought were not put together well.  The immediate interaction between him and the cartel, things like that.  The acting was good, but the script writers did a poor job.

White Boy Rick - pretty decent.

agreed--I like it

IT 2, meh. Wayyy too long. 6/10

screwball - 8/10. the story was like a 6 or 7, but the cinemetography (using the kids to play the athletes and such) was really cool.

Agreed, 5/10 for me but way too long. I was bored. 

First Man - 7/10. Visually stunning, and Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy were very good. Plus I'm always excited for a Coach Taylor sighting.

The whole controversy in that movie proved to me that the far right can be just as "snowflakery" as the far left. 

I am a huge patriot, but it wasn't that big of a deal that the movie only showed the flag already planted instead of Armstrong planting it.

I agree, the movie was well done and was about a 7/10. I saw it in the theatre awhile ago whenever it was there.

That is just insane, the shit people find to bitch and moan about. As to the bolded, lol, since the inception of this site, QQ's been going out of his way to prove that, so it shouldn't have taken dumb-ass angry comments about a movie to prove it.

QQ is one person, I ignore outliers. The "uproar" about the flag planting in that movie wasn't 1 person.

Don't forget the yearly crying about Starbucks cups. Both sides are equally lame.
