Resivoir Dogs. I kept waiting for whatever it was that made people think it was a great movie, and I was still waiting when the credits rolled.
Now, I get Pulp Fiction. Very witty dialog, liberally spiced with obscenity, bearing little or no relation to what's coming next, putting you completely off guard. The other thing about it is the way the several plotlines come together, jangled out of true by the odd, non linear presentation. I like - Very clever - but I can see how somebody might niot get it in the very same way I don't get Resivoir Dogs.
WalkinDude, only your admission of liking the books prevents my seconds from calling on you in the morning. I get LOTR with a vengance. I've been waiting for 20 year for them to do a credible job of it. Hell, they could have cast Coreys Haim and Feldman as Boromir and Aragorn respectively and Bill Murray as Gandalf and I would have loved it. As ambitious as the scope of the project was, I forgive them their distortions of the books, and, as long as the third movie was, I even forgive the complete abence of the Scourging of the Shire and the dozen false endings.
M0rpheus, Brad Pitt and Ed Norton are the same person. Get it now?
