TUESDAY

Pulp Fiction is one of my favourite movies ever.
A very good movie poster.

A few weeks ago I was at Carlingford library and they had a copy of Empire magazine with a poster like that in it. It was very tempting to just rip it out and take it. Seriously if anyone reading this has a Pulp Fiction poster, I'd like to buy it.

Anyway the outstanding thing about this film it maintains a firm grip on your balls. The dialogue seems pointless but somehow works because the characters are so vivid.

Take Jules Winfield (Samuel L. Jackson). The best description of him is probably 'bad motherfucker'. In fact, that's what it says on his wallet. He's a hitman, who likes to recite Ezekiel 25:17 before popping a cap in people's asses. You could put every line he says in the movie on a t-shirt and people would buy it.
A pretty crazy guy

I like pretty much all of Tarantino's films but you really can't get past the iconic appeal of this one. Inglourious Basterds was pretty good but I'd have to watch it again to decide whether its as good as this.
