It goes okay. Trying to find more work, as the work I have is not enough and also ending soon.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

Yeah, the plot of RD is definitely CoF, but I think the jumbled time structure was all QT (well, by way of the Killing, sort of), as was the mixmaster blend of pop culture references, and the great conceit that an undercover cop basically needs to be a really good method actor.
And the casting was cool.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am a big QT fan. Except the dude should never ever act. REALLY not his forte.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I love his little cameo in Pulp Fiction, but yeah. (He was originally planning to play Pai Mei in KB2, and I can only imagine the train wreck it would have been.)

I like him well enough in RD, but he's not in it much longer than he is Pulp Fiction - big speech, a few lines and an elided death scene.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I agree. His four movies are all brilliant, but he couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag.

And yet, people keep giving him opportunities to do so.
Also, re: Reservoir Dogs -- has anyone else watched the deleted scenes on the DVD? They suggest to me that the original screenplay may have been much more straightforward, as they fill in a lot of backstory that the film is probably better without.

Hey. New board.
Aw, man, I absolutely LOVE QT's guest spot in Alias. He's one of my favorite short-lived villains of the first two seasons (which is all I've watched). Maybe my favorite. Those episodes were awesome.
