Quote (Scatterplot @ Jan. 20 2010, 15:32) | Having said u never saw Pulp Fiction is like never hearing of Star Trek. Go rent it. Or torrent it. Samuel L. Jackson carries most of the acting "load". But John Travolta and the rest are incredible. Man alive, not seeing this flick is like saying you never saw Titanic. Have fun, gimme some news I can use. |
With Tarantino you always get the feeling that art will always be subordinated to entertainment, and that's why, in my opinion, he'll never be in the same league as those directors, like Antonioni, Bunuel etc who are willing to take chances.
As for Star Trek, I always found the plots rather anemic - there was only one story in the first series, for example, ("The Menagerie") that wasn't just glorified cops and robbers. And the later series seemed to exist primarily to reflect the issues and concerns of American society at the time they were made. (And those corny aliens!!
