The stuff with Saddam Hussein and Satan bored me to tears and I FF through it every time I watch it.

Jules is the only person who grows or changes emotionally over the course of the movie. So yeah, if PF is a movie about anybody, it is a movie about a black man. Though Marvin is just a prop and Marcellus Wallace is more an abstract threat than a character.isaac_spacemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-30196604526342584982012-10-10T21:44:46.933-04:002012-10-10T21:44:46.933-04:00And 20-some percent of Pulp Fiction, between Jules...And 20-some percent of Pulp Fiction, between Jules and Marvin.Adam B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-36526261814898576962012-10-10T21:44:45.541-04:002012-10-10T21:44:45.541-04:00There is -- the first arrow button under each comm...There is -- the first arrow button under each comment.Adam B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-73424468201176476482012-10-10T21:39:23.114-04:002012-10-10T21:39:23.114-04:00I'm not sure where you get your "plenty.&...I'm not sure where you get your "plenty." There's Raise the Red Lantern and Chun King Express (neither of which I've seen, but based on pictures and titles I'll say they're probably pretty Asian). I guess there's Irma Vep, but does that movie tell the story of an Asian woman or of a French industry? For a continent that's more than half of the world's population, WHAT A POOR SHOWING, ASIANS - PICK UP YOUR GAME. <br /><br /><br />And if you give Irma Vep to the Asians, why not give half of Seven and half of Unforgiven to the black men? Or maybe 40% of each?isaac_spacemannoreply@blogger.com
