"2001- A Space Odessey" I expected an episode of "Star Trek"
Did'nt get it....still dont.

If you hated "Pulp Fiction" (or loved it) , Try "Resevoir Dogs" also by Quentin Tarentino. Those movies are like Train wrecks..I just have to keep looking..but can't figure out why.

Kick, you nailed it. That is a Terentino description that fits.

As for me I nearly walked out of Very Bad Things with Christian Slater and Camerion Diaz.

It was dull, and dull. I did like it's ending, but getting to it was painful. It also had a cameo by real life pornstar Kobe Tai, which isn't a bad thing!

His directing style...borrowed from some japanese guy...was groundbreaking for hollywood in the fact that no movie prior to pulp fiction of resevoir dogs can hold a candle to the dialog in either of those movies. Not to mention Pulp Fiction was the 1st "hit" movie that was no longer linear. Starting with the diner scene, moving around to other scenes out of order, and the everything coming back to where it started. This truely changed Hollywood's idea about how movies should be made. Yes it was violent, but the violence believe it or not was actually comical. Dark humor i guess you could say.

The wife and I are at the movies......(she is very happy, I might get some tonight), movie starts.........eating my popcorn......10 mins later I'm done with my popcorn.........10 mins later I'm in dreamland, dreaming of one of my flying adventures.........movie over, lights come on.........my wife pokes me, and I wake up.......she asks(every movie), "how did you like the movie?", and I reply, "I couldn't wait for it to be over", "thought I might have to wait in the lobby". We have never walked out on a movie, and I get some that night too.

Love at First Bite

I tried to walk out, but I saw it on a L-1011. Kinda hard to walk out at 35,000 feet.

Tarantino basically ripped off the Hong Kong action genre for True Romance and Resevoir Dogs.

Thats how real groundbreakers like John Woo, and Chow Yun-Fat made it in Hollywood.
