My favorite movie and book of all time, Sep 3 2005
This review is from: Pulp Fiction (Paperback)
Who HASN'T seen the movie? And, if for some reason you didn't, run, don't walk. Possibly the most brilliant film ever made, the book ain't half bad either. I was VERY wary of reading the "pulp" version of the film, but let me say this, Tarantino doesn't disappoint. This guy knows his stuff, both on celuoid and on paper. PULP FICTION is and should be, right up there with "Fight Club" (Chuck P.), "Katzenjammer (McCrae), and Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Great stuff! Kudos Mr. T!

Reads like a book; very addictive. Great dialogue., July 7 2004
This review is from: Pulp Fiction (Paperback)
PULP FICTION, the film, is one of my favorites, and I own both the DVD and the screenplay by Quentin Tarantino. Now, as with most things, since Quentin has become ultra-popular, it's suddenly become "cool" to dislike him and his movies (particularly FICTION). Quoting Dave Thomas (SCTV), "Let's get down to the nitty gritty here": Whether or not you like the film, Quentin DOES have a knack for superb dialogue, and here is proof. Recommended on all levels - one of my hobbies is scriptwriting and this is a definite inspiration as it was written by a man-child who never took a single screenwriting course. He just did it, and that's always been my own strategy when it comes to these things.

I Love the Movie,I Love the Screenplay!, Jan 11 2004
This review is from: Pulp Fiction (Paperback)
I've already written a review for the movie which I gave five stars and now i'm giving the same to the screenplay.The scrrenplay had all of the same things the movie had and some stuff that was left on the cutting room floor in the final cut of the movie,but the screenplay is always good to read to see the way the story was told and then put on film.For example,the Marcellus and Zed scene when you see it you are utterly disgusted and strangely mesmerized at the same time and when you read that part in the screenplay the way Quentin Tarantino wrote and explained the scene was magnificent although I try to skip that entire scene while watching the DVD.Quentin Tarantino is not only a great director but he is also the definitive screenwriter and Pulp Fiction proves that the man can write.
