Doktor Kosmos Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 What's great about Tarantino is how he turns the characters into real people b ythrowing in scenes where they have random conversation about random topics. For instance, the interpretation of "Like a Virgin" in Reservoir Dogs, and Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta debating about foot massages in Pulp Fiction. Good stuff. Hmm. I never thought about it that way. I am not sure I agree. I always saw it as just "cool dialogues". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan24 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I made a deal with my friend that if I watch Saw (which I'm too scared to watch, and he loves) with him during the summer then he has to finally watch The Usual Suspects with me during the summer. I actually fell asleep during Saw... That's not saying much though because I tend to fall asleep in a lot of movies. I usually don't go to the movies anymore unless it's on a date.

BTH Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 You love City of God but you can't watch Saw? I didn't find City of God disturbing at all. Apparently the Saw series only gets disgusting in Saw 2. Hmm. I never thought about it that way. I am not sure I agree. I always saw it as just "cool dialogues". Well, when you watch a movie like Pirates of the Caribbean, you see a guy like Jack Sparrow making witty lines and coming up with great, cool lines every scene. In real life, people have random conversations about just any things that are on their mind (other than rum). Tarantino is the best director at simulating real life, I think, and he does it by throwing in scenes that serve no purpose other than building up characters (though he does it wthout making the movie boring.) Just why Seinfeld is such a great show. People witness everyday situations and realize just how funny it is that the rest of the world experiences the same little problems as you do.

Doktor Kosmos Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Personally I think you give Tarantino too much credit. But that's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Kosmos Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Quebec demands their own dubbing into French Huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Quebec demands their own dubbing into French Huh? ah you didn't know? Quebec french is stuck in the 16,17,18th century and never modernized while France's french did. For example when talking about the weekend in Quebec you don't say Le Weekend like you would in France. The two are completely different because Quebec lost its link to France around Napolean's time. If a french person from France goes to Quebec they will get confused and not understand a word they are saying. Like wise if a french speaking person goes to France. a person from France would see Quebec french as archaic and lots of slang. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_French Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use "faire du shopping" (here it's : "magasiner"), parking (with a terrible french accent) while we use "stationnement", etc... I didn't find City of God disturbing at all.

Just think about Tarantino and Clooney in from dusk till dawn, Rodriguez and Quentin made it a way the firts 45 minutes are just about building characters and THEN, the movie start. AMAZING.

Also, the word "arrête" doesn't exist in France so the stop signs just say "stop." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Also, the word "arrête" doesn't exist in France so the stop signs just say "stop." That's because of EU new universal road sign rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTH Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 So in my winter break I averaged a movie a day and in the summer I should watch a lot too (though that pace will be impossible, I'll be too busy). So does anyone have any recommendations for me to add to my summer movie list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre the Great Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 the movie will probably scar bth for life considering the movie is as old as me and the actors are pretty famous now and are all old and grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen and liked movies much older than this if that's what you mean. Anyways, The Breakfast Club will always be my favourite John Hughes movie.

BTH Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Oh no if you've ever watched a lot of Spin City you'll do a double take. If you meant Sin City I've seen it twice and I'm excited for Sin City 2 because I think Johnny Depp being in it is confirmed. If there's another movie called Spin City, I don't know it.

Pierre the Great Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 no its a tv show that michael j fox was in and had to leave after being diagnosed with parkinsons. Then Charlie Sheen took over. One of the minor characters was a major character in ferris when he was much younger and wasn't completely grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
