It's on Channel4 this evening and I AM SO BORED I might just watch it. But is it worth it or shall I just go to bed instead?

Well?

It was quite entertaining...the least violent of Tarintino's films...you might as well see it. Some good performances all round.

Watch it.

Then imitate violence on fatnick raising debate re destructive effect of movies.

All the actors have room to breathe, think, react, gather their defenses, change strategy. It's the closest thing to a John Sayles movie you'll ever see from QT. Which is a recommendation in my book.

They showed it on Film Four a few weeks ago. I thought it was merely alright, not even approaching Pulp Fiction. But watch it anyway.

I r playing computer games for many years.

I R having weakened link with reality. I r having monopoly of mindless violence in this house!

Jackie Brown or 2DTV followed by 50 minutes of Jackass.

Mmmmm, tricky decision, not.

What is the deal with Michael Keaton's eyebrows?

― jamesmichaelward, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wildly overrated and nowhere close to Jackass.

she's hot. and i don't mean jackie brown from space. i don't mean dominic bowden either.

Like it a lot. Esp. QT's sneaky commentarty on De Niro's career:

Sam Jackson sitting in car with De Niro: "Mannn, you used to be beautiful." Shoots him.

Jackie Brown's obsession with the black suit was pretty ace too.

Jackie Brown from 'space' has the q-factor. Dominic, not so much.

i like it better than the opther ttarantinos i've seen, but it's nothing birlliant, more fun.

― Geoff, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

omar does he not say, "our ass was so beautiful" [trans: together we were beautiful]

― mark s, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I dunno Mark, maybe "Your ass used to be beautiful"? IIRC.

Hmmm...It features extreme close-ups of Bridget Fonda's devastatingly delicious, luscious, sexy bare feet doing things, so I'd say Fuck YEAH!

omar: totally. qt has this amazing sixth sense about casting. deniro as a waster bong-head turned out to be perfect; all the furrowed eyebrow scrunching and momentous pauses revealed for the addled affectations they are.
