It's not a film for everybody... very few films are.

Hey BB
Your tone is rediculous. Video Zoids? Just because you can't appreciate the movie, doesn't mean its some sort of base garbage.
The effects in the movie were great. The limbs getting lopped off are supposed to look kinda cheesy. The blood is supposed to be WAY over the top. Criticizing it for that simply makes no sense. Secondly, the action sequences are filmed brilliantly, with the utmost attention paid to choreography and cinematography. Its Quentin's first movie that actually shows some real technical direction, rather than just story telling. Not to mention that other then some wire removal, there were no CG effects, quite a blessing after seeing the monstrosity of (rather poor looking) video game effects the Matrix sequels had.

Its perfectly fine to not like the movie; it is definitely not for everyone, but that doesn't make it fodder for your so called XBOX zoids.

I must admit that the first time I saw this I did not like it. Then it came on PPV and I watched it again. I have seen it a few more times since then and although I don't think it's a great show, I always seem to watch it.

It does get a little to far out there for me at times but as my wife say's "It's watchable!"

Relax Craig, he is entitled to his opinion...the same way you are.

Of course he is, as is everyone.

But there's a difference between voicing an opinion, and insulting those with one different than your own.

I didn't mean to insult anyone, just expressed my oppinion, thinking that was what posting boards normally do. I was certainly not trolling to insult an Xboxer.

I always thought that if I could develop a "tone checker" that would coincide with the "spell checker" of a word processor I would makes millions. I would help people not to accidently insult the overly-sensitive types.

Again, sorry for having a "rediculous tone," which, by the way -- is the very first time I heard that expression.

here, how about a smile face -- will that do as an apology

Get out spell checker! The word is *ridiculous*. As in ridicule.

bilbo- to answer your question if the DTS of 'pulp' is worth it, i say maybe.. if you are a fan of the movie, then yes.. if you are not a big fan, then no.. the mix is pretty good though.. in the opening restaurant scene, just before the robbery, you can hear other conversations in the restaurant.. moms scolding kids, chefs calling out orders, old man sneezing, waitress asks, "more coffee'?. to me, it just added to the whole feel of the movie..

in case you didnt figure it out, i am a fan of the film. plus, the extra disc with footage is pretty cool.. and you get a menu from jack rabbit slims!!

It's nice to see other folks involved in a disagreement from time to time.

The movie wasn't terrible, I guess, but it was disappointing compared to Pulp Fiction. It was kinda like a gory video game, too. All that martial arts action just gets old.

good catch on the use of ridiculous... always thought of it in its ludicrous meaning...thanks always to dictionary.com, great site.
