It wasn't awful.
That's right. I said it.
Pulp Fiction wasn't as terrible as I thought it would be. In fact, I think I kinda, sorta liked it and I'm officially apologizing to anyone who had to listen to me whine about having to watch it.
For those of you who have been living under the same rock as I have, here is a summary of the plot: the lives of four sets of characters mesh together on each's violent journey towards redemption.
Going in, I didn't realize that Pulp Fiction was a comedy. A dark comedy, really. Sure there's brain matter splattered all over the inside of a car and some interesting uses of profanity, but the dialogue is quite witty.
And I was totally digging the groovy tunes. May have to download the soundtrack later ($11.99 on iTunes).
That being said, there were a couple of things about the movie that disturbed me.
At first, I was excited to see both John Travolta and Sam Jackson on screen. Woo hoo! Danny Zuko and Frozone from The Incredibles? Awesome. Love those guys. Then I saw their hair.
What. The. Hell.
I am feeling a long haired John Travolta about as much as a jerry curled Sam Jackson, which is to say not at all.
Oddly enough, I did enjoy Uma Thurman as a brunette.
To recap: Saw Pulp Fiction and I think I liked it. The dialogue was genius and funny. The violent aspect of the movie didn't really bother me … maybe my threshold for violence has been raised. Of course, I don't look for McDonald's to start carrying Pulp Fiction toys in their Happy Meals any time soon.
(That would be kinda cool though. I could totally see Vince and Jules action figures in my Room O' Funk.)
The was one drawback to watching Pulp Fiction. My universe is forever changed and I no longer see Danny Zuko in quite the same way.
(My chills are no longer multiplyin'. They're no longer losin' control.)
This may be a good thing.
I am SO happy you appreciated the dialog! It's the best, Honey Bunny.
