Tarantino films are some of the most overrated s#!+ out there! I saw Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs for the first time ever sometime last year and was not too impressed!

The thing about Tarantino movies that I think is pretty amazing is that they are generally unpredictable. At any moment the storyline can take an unexpected turn, characters can die without notice, etc. The generally sharp dialog also helps.
I think part of the problem is if you are a 'late viewer' of Tarantino's movies, you have to deal with everyone saying they are amazing. I saw Pulp Fiction when I was pretty young (11 or 12) and it was before my peers were all about them. Hype leads to disappointment more than anything else.

I think that you should also add to this, is that these unpredictable and unexpected turns actually work out for the best.
Because any movie can take unexpected turns, and characters can die without notice; but Tarantino makes it work, and his movies are better because of it.
You weren't impressed by Pulp Fiction? I think it warrants a revisiting...Quite honestly I can't think of a more stylish, more quintessentially LA film I've seen. It's overblown, it's melodramatic, yeah, but part of watching anything Tarantino's done is just going with it, you know?
Out of curiosity, what sort of movie do you usually like?
PS: You should read Ebert's review of Pulp Fiction, I mean it's one of his "Great Movies" for chrissakes, claiming PF to be "overrated s#!+" needs to be justified!

I don't think reading a review of a movie someone has already seen is gonna make them change their mind on it.
Even if it's by the best reviewer ever, and it's "the best movie ever."
Just because it's supposed to be the best male dildo ever, doesn't mean I'm gonna like it in my ***hole because James Earl Jones said I should.
I still need to see Pulp Fiction though . . . hah

Atlus is proud of his opinion, which just proves that he's trolling in his own way. He may really believe it's overrated, but at the same time there's no way in hell he's going to provide any logical justification for it. It's just like those people that say "[Critically acclaimed] is awful!" Okay, it's cool you think that -- that either means you're ridiculously wrong or it just wasn't for you, because artfully speaking it's already proven to be amazing without your justification. It just sucks for you that you aren't able to experience the awesomeness everyone else has. It **** sure isn't going to change anyone else's opinion, so why are you posting? To be a contrarian?

I saw Reservoir Dogs a couple weeks ago. Good movie. Not amazing, but good. The only thing that bugged me was some of the things that are in the movie for no reason (mr. blue, the fact that they bother to show mr. orange putting on a ring, etc.). also, I could've done without the gruesome torture scene but I guess that's just an artistic choice.

i wasn't impressed by pulp fiction either
Hmm...I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
What's the pretense? I don't think I understand...
Kidding.
Anyway, does anyone reading dislike Tarantino (specifically PF) but like Snatch? Guy Richie pretty much adapted Tarantino's directing style for that movie (it even has a *****ing soundtrack) but it's more modern, easier and more overtly fun than PF.

I just finished watching Hachiko a Dog's Story and cried like a ten year old girl! It`s a true story about a dog that waits for his master and $#!+

Yeah, Futurama did that first atlus, and they did it in about 20 minutes. You can go ahead and watch your big, long, hour to two hours, drawn out dog waits for master movies if you want though.

Actually, Japanese did it first back in 1987!

later we find out it didn't even happen that way!

The Hachiko thing is based on a supposedly true story. There is a Hachiko statue in Shibuya today.

The statue is also in the game / part of the game in The World Ends With You on the DS.

Cave Story, otherwise known as Doukustu Monogatari is a doujin 2d platformer/shooter with exploration elements. In other words, a japanese indie metroidvania.
Nintendo should make a metroidvania with Melee characters/controls, it would be so successful. It would have to heavily test your tech skill though, not like Melee's adventure mode or Nintendo's latest releases.

Some more movies I've seen recently that I really liked
American Psycho
Big Fish (best burton movie imo)
Inglorious Basterds
Paranormal activity (mostly because of how it was filmed)
Zombieland
I also really enjoyed the Strangers, although I've had people tell me it was ****ty.

that would be awesome, except it would not sell because very few people in this world have tech skill. if it encouraged people to get tech skill and play melee that would be cool though
Also I saw The Cove (Oscar-winning documentary). Really good stuff, I was not hyped at ALL to watch a movie about dolphins but it got me to help out their cause in the end

Any sport fans watch reggie miller vs. The knicks? Official selection to the sundance film festival. It's really good

I saw The Cove last night! Humans are d!cks!
Yes they are
I'm considering seeing When You're Strange, the new movie about The Doors. The Doors' keyboardist, Ray Manzarek said "This will be the true story of the Doors," as opposed to that Oliver Stone movie.
Anyway it's opening tonight in a theater in San Fancisco and three places in LA. I'm gonna see it in Pasadena. Thought I'd mention for any other Doors fans who don't have anything to do on Friday night and didn't already know about this...
