And if he'd used Neil Diamond instead of Urge Overkill. I used to think the same way, as I think Diamond is great. However, I don't think even Tarantino could succeed in making Neil Diamond "cool" to the masses. Plus, Neil's version has a "sappy" string break and energy lag that probably wouldn't work for Uma's character or that film. I do not hold these views strongly, but that is what I took away from my most recent Pulp Fiction rewatch. Urge badly dates the film Lynch's use of contemporary dream pop acts in Twin Peaks season 3 will similarly date that show. Thankfully, they are tacked on at the end, so you can just shut the TV when they arrive.    Posted:   Apr 14, 2020 - 11:22 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Urge badly dates the film Lynch's use of contemporary dream pop acts in Twin Peaks season 3 will similarly date that show.

Most every once-popular trend from the '80s and '90s turns me off, whereas dated things from, say, '65-'75 entertains me in a completely straight-faced, accept-it-on-its-own-terms way, and I don't mean that I enjoy it in a kitschy way, but with total enjoyment.    Posted:   Apr 14, 2020 - 11:26 AM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) Urge badly dates the film Lynch's use of contemporary dream pop acts in Twin Peaks season 3 will similarly date that show.

Completely agree, as you knew I would.    Posted:   Apr 14, 2020 - 11:42 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Interestingly enough, Tarantino has declared the 1980s and 1950s the worst decades in film history.    Posted:   Apr 14, 2020 - 12:26 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) Interestingly enough, Tarantino has declared the 1980s and 1950s the worst decades in film history. Agree about the 80s.    Posted:   Apr 14, 2020 - 6:41 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) I think Quentin may be softening his opinion of the 1950s. He seems quite taken with the TV Westerns of the time. It would be unwise to dismiss the decade in which all that psychological undercurrent bubbling under the surface is clearly evident in so many films. Now I know where Clint Walker got it from!    Posted:   Apr 14, 2020 - 6:45 PM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) Interestingly enough, Tarantino has declared the 1980s and 1950s the worst decades in film history. Agree about the 80s. Vehemently disagree about the 80s. And the 50s. I'd argue for the aridity of the 90s, especially its second half.    Posted:   Apr 15, 2020 - 5:01 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) I'd argue for the aridity of the 90s, especially its second half. But that's when all of these "great" Tarantino knockoff films were made! Watched Suicide Kings the other day--review to eventually follow.    Posted:   Apr 15, 2020 - 11:06 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) A young, pre-famous Tarantino went duck hunting with Spielberg, Milius, and Schrader: https://deadline.com/2020/04/quentin-tarantino-archive-1982-john-milius-interview-duck-hunting-spielberg-apocalypse-now-inspiration-paul-schrader-1202907884/    Posted:   Apr 16, 2020 - 6:33 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Speaking of "dated", Andy Garcia's character in Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (1995) runs a (failing) video production business specializing in recording dying people offering advice to their loved ones. Nowadays, one could just point their mobile phone and film yourself dispensing all that priceless advice.    Posted:   Apr 16, 2020 - 8:23 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) A young, pre-famous Tarantino went duck hunting with Spielberg, Milius, and Schrader: https://deadline.com/2020/04/quentin-tarantino-archive-1982-john-milius-interview-duck-hunting-spielberg-apocalypse-now-inspiration-paul-schrader-1202907884/ Was that before or after he was a world-famous spaghetti western expert and Morricone collector....who nobody in the soundtrack world had ever heard of??! A Johnny Come Lately bullshitter, thats what he is.    Posted:   Apr 16, 2020 - 10:24 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Correction: Zemeckis, not Schrader, was on the duck hunt. Can't imagine having to listen to all those Silvestri anecdotes.    Posted:   Apr 17, 2020 - 4:23 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Two views on the Tarantino-written True Romance. "True Romance Remains a Sweet, Diatinctly Male Movie": https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/09/classic-film-review-true-romance/ "Tarantino's Worst Excesses Come Out in Tony Scott's True Romance": https://thespool.net/movies/2019/07/tony-scott-true-romance-quentin-tarantino-retro-review/    Posted:   Apr 17, 2020 - 4:22 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Someone bothered to do an analysis of Soderbergh's Out of Sight (1998), which I rewatched today: https://cinephiliabeyond.org/steven-soderberghs-out-of-sight-an-achronological-time-out-from-conventional-crime-narrative/    Posted:   Apr 18, 2020 - 4:39 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Actually, there appears to be numeous articles regarding Out of Sight, as it's apparently a well-regarded film, albeit with a small, devoted audience (like Star Wars is here at FSM).    Posted:   Apr 18, 2020 - 5:05 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) "Tarantino's Worst Excesses Come Out in ....anything where he has too much freedom..." Corrected that for you Jim!!    Posted:   Apr 18, 2020 - 7:18 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) "Tarantino's Worst Excesses Come Out in ....anything where he has too much freedom..." Corrected that for you Jim!! "Too much freedom" sounds Stalinesque. How about, "Tarantino's worst excesses come out in...anything where he lacks restraint..."    Posted:   Apr 18, 2020 - 7:25 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) ..Which is every film after Reservoir Dogs!    Posted:   Apr 18, 2020 - 7:29 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) ..Which is every film after Reservoir Dogs! "If you're gonna troll my thread, at least stick to just trolling the Pulp Fiction knockoff films."    Posted:   Apr 18, 2020 - 9:30 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Any thread on Taranteeny is open season!! Ha ha. Actually i thought true romance was his best project to date. Gandolfini and Gary Oldman are great, bride of chucky's sister is good too.. And Brad Pitt's spaced "Hey...bring back cleaning products" was his best line ever.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Pulp Fiction Knockoffs, 1995-1999...and Beyond    << < 3 4 5 6  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6
