Caught pulp fiction on cable tv this afternoon. must be 5 or 7 years since i last saw this one. i can remember its misfortune at being released in the same year as forrest gump, so it sorta had to be contented with getting bridesmaid finishes in the oscars and the golden globe. alam nyo na, white america would rather honor an ideologically harmless but charming dumb white boy than a wry film spewing "niggers" every ten seconds. i relished the dialogues given to samuel jackson. or my favorite harvey keitel one liner: "well let's not suck each others' dicks just yet." that was while they were trying to clean up the bits and pieces of brain and skull that splattered in their car after john travolta accidentally blew the face off of the black man they were "taking care of."

pure freaking genius. then i thought, where the hell did it all go wrong with kill bill?
