Have you actually watched Pulp Fiction? Going into that movie with no prior knowledge of it was one of the best mind **** cinema experiences I've ever had. It was one of those "gotta see it again to try piece it all together" flicks for sure.

I saw it once as a kid, but the first time I watched it as an adult it really wasn't that hard to figure out what was going on. Pulp Fiction is not rocket science.

It doesn't need to be rocket science to be good. I'm a cinema nerd and I'm always down for a good ol' pretentious art house film, but I still consider Tarantino to be one of the most consistent directors of all-time. He made a lot of great films. In fact, the only film he made that I wouldn't call "great" is Deathproof.

I love Tarantino too, but Chula is clearly a dunderhead if he was confused by Pulp Fiction.

Oh yeah, agreed. I somehow missed the part where he said that. Has be brought up in the "you would have to be alive to understand..." argument yet?

And Jackie Brown is just okay. Subpar for a Tarantino film.

I think it's hella underrated. Feels like a sister movie to Pulp Fiction imo.

Unless you saw The Wizard of Oz during it's first run in theaters you really can't fully appreciate how amazing it was when it switched from B&W to color.
Oh, and **** you all.
