Are you sure you're not talking about <I>Must Love Dogs</I>? They're easy to mix up, so, you know...Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787647601323421079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18059021.post-1149150990716542722006-06-01T04:36:00.000-04:002006-06-01T04:36:00.000-04:00I agree that this is slightly more impressive than...I agree that this is slightly more impressive than PF. I think I have it two slots above that on my list. I really see those two films as a set - one of Tarantino defining himself to indie fans, then one of him breaking into the next level and getting a film that should have been too weird and too violent for mass appreciation into the mainstream. <BR/><BR/>And to see a great Keitel performance before he was well known, you really ought to see Bad Liuetenant. This guy Abel Ferrera was really pushing the line Tarantino-style just a year or so before him. Of course, no one ever saw it, so he didn't ever get the recognition QT did for similar styles.<BR/><BR/> I think that's what drives me about R Dogs and Pulp - they were influential to many filmmakers, but they actually made it into mainstream recognition. Of course, it also led to a decade of crappy wannabes like The Whole Nine Yards and Be Cool. <BR/><BR/>And lastly, my one professor HATES this film with a passion... but he's a dick, so I like it even more. That QT stamp is ever-present, and why not?leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14129854416426025345noreply@blogger.com
