A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
See. I think Pulp Fiction is ALL about a theme. The whole structure of the film is built around Jules and Vincent's choice whether to continue to be evil or to try to do good. Vincent decides to keep doing evil and ends up dead. Jules decides to be moral and lives. All the characters are presented with clear choices and what happens to them follows from whether they choose the righteous path or not. Watch the film again and you'll be amazed at how well explored the theme actually is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Doesn't it work if you put the font color inside the link's a href tag?
eta: okay, kinda hidden.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Yes! I loves me some spicy Scrappy brains.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I will, next time. Thanks.
Now I wonder what Plei was trying to pull.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
What I was trying to say was that the movie seemed to me like it had some sort of theme, but I couldn't find it.
The theme is precisely stated in the final conversation between Clem and Joel in the hallway: even if you know at the start that a relationship is going to fall apart - and you always do, once you're an adult - it's still worth having the elationship. Memory is just the MacGuffin - the film is about accepting that relationships are always painful.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Caution: Guilty Joy Warning
Did anyone else see Anchorman this weekend? I was in dire need of a movie that would make me laugh until it hurt. I read a review that said "This is a great movie for the kind of people who think that a dog getting drop-kicked off a bridge is funny.
So, of course, I went. And I've got to say, I still heart Will Farrell.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Actually, I somewhat disagree with that quote, Lilty. I found that scene appalling and funny at the same time... but I think "appalling" won out.
Overall I still found the movie to be very funny, in the sense that my throat and stomach hurt from all the laughing....

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Yeah, it wasn't the high point of the film- definitly a mix of shock and humor- I laughed, but it more at the aftermath than the actual event.
My stomach hurt after the rumble. Once Tim Robbins walked around that corner, I was done.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Finally saw Spidey-2 last night. Really liked it!
Did not expect the last fifteen minutes or so. Was impressed.
