Pulp Fiction is one of the best films ever

Why give substance to your dislike when you can handle it in 5 words?!

But more seriously I just don't get it, Pulp Fiction was less boring than Reservoir Dogs but I certainly wouldn't rate it. I just don't get what's special about it, films can have good dialogue and good action. Films can be all nonsensey and hard to follow and still enjoyable, I liked Inception, I hated Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy. Give me a film with something going on and something interesting to latch on to over some artsy crap any day.

I do like me a artsy film.

You are the first person to say they hated TTSS, I've never seen it but everyone tells me its really good and I would like it.

TTSS was just boring. A film can be slow, and interesting, and different without being just dull.
As for Tarantino, he's the most overrated person in history.

My wife and I both fell asleep in the cinema at Tinker Tailor. Then the next Christmas, a family member bought us it on DVD. Needless to say that it remains in the shrinkwrap.

The pace was daringly glacial. A film told in glances and moments of realisation. I thought it was pretty good.

Can I move this into the Movies thread, from the moment it stops being about gaming?

I like you a little bit less now.

Though I will say this about Tarantino: He's a much better writer than he is a director as his dialogue has got a great flow to it, IMO his best work of this is in a film called True Romance.

Shift it, Zero.

I've only seen Django Unchained of his work. Gloriously silly, enjoyed it lots.

I don't hate Tarantino, and I agree he writes sizzling dialogue, but I find his films range from a bit crap to very stylish but shallow. He also does so much homaging he forgets to create anything.

That said, Reservoir Dogs is a masterpiece.

No, I refuse to have my posts moved!

Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are both legit.

Otherwise I prefer the work of Quentin Tarantulino.

Spoiler:

I wrote about Tennis also should have another Retro Collect piece going up soon

I'm glad that wasn't a review, Mas: it allows me to post this piece of nonsense without kicking a new piece of work off the front page!

Some very good work there, chaps! I do miss the genuine tennis games - the Mario Tennis games have lost the touch of class that N64 Mario Tennis had. Sad, in a way.

On the other hand, Picross is Picross. Except for Mega Picross, which to me is much like how Balla described top tier Picross puzzles (and later Pullblox ones, to be fair). Anyway, thoughts have been provoked. I like it when that happens.

I like the thinking behind this piece, but Mas, dem typos! Was pulling my hair out at the 'there/their' and 'your/you're' comments. Nevertheless, you raise a valid point - every console should have a good tennis game. We used to have Top Spin, Virtua Tennis, Mario Tennis and an EA game, at one point.

Thanks it was put together quickly whilst the Tennis was postponed, but always want to hear anything I can improve on.

I just read back now how ever and from it, I can only find 'there/their' and 'your/you're' used once each in the same sentence: The PS4 has so far got a wide variety of sports games including your regular yearly series but then there’s Casey Powell Lacrosse 16, Handball 16.

Any help guys on which 'there/their' and 'your/you're' I should be using, would be greatly appreciated going forward.

You are an idiot.
You're an idiot.

What is your problem?

The tennis court is over there.

Who owns these tennis balls? They are their tennis balls.

On 'there' and 'their', I used to say "Remove the 't'": then you get 'here', a word about position, and 'heir', a word about ownership.

That's quite clever.

I'm a bit worried about Balla's Picross love/hate - it's not healthy to feel like that!

Good work all.

Is anyone planning to upload anything a week from now (hinty)?

If I get chance to work on my Code Name S.T.E.A.M.World Heist article, maybe... although it's more in the 'probably not' category than I realise.

Thanks guys.

I've got nothing planned Jimbob, unless their is another spur of the moment thing like the Tennis piece.

I'm working on my Homefront Review just now. I was gonna do a Fire Emblem one, but I don't want to upload two piss-take reviews back to back.

As for articles, I tend to come up with them, write them and upload them in the spur of the moment.

Speaking of Homefront: Revolution and piss-take reviews...

Drunka, did you... did you actually give the game a score!? As in, "This is what I'd give it if nobody paid me." I'm shocked and appalled.

Otherwise, enjoyed that, although kinda skipped the bits about the game proper and just read the parody sections.

Kitchens

Now I've done that I'll actually get round to reading Drunka's latest...
