'Jackie Brown' is a great fucking movie.

dude!

It's a GOOD movie, but Tarantino is/was the most overhyped talented person on the planet. (He and Jimmy Kimmel after the Oscars: two geeks getting ready to watch 16 hours of splatter movies til their girlfriends come back from vacation.)

Jackie Brown is just so good, though. I need to buy me a copy of it so I can re-watch the dressing room scene.

I'm pretty sure there are other more over-hyped talented people (and fare more over-hyped LESS talented people.)

And I just remembered Pam was better in Mars Attacks! :D How is she on The L Word?

i remember seeing it when it came out, and the cinema was packed with people who (like me, facing it) wanted another quote-packed 'pulp fiction'. and we didn't get it, and i think we were all a bit put out

so otm. was disappointed with this the first time round, but watched it again last night, and it's great.

greatest. not to mention the best ever adaptation of a leonard book imo.

^cosign

luv dis movie

Yeah, I'm not sure I can call this my absolute favorite QT movie - but its the one I come back to the most often. Although, looking at my shelves right now, I have no idea what happened to my DVD copy.

this is some repugnant shit

not to mention the best ever adaptation of a leonard book imo.

I dunno. I have a lot of love for the movie of Get Shorty. Two totally different tones, obv. Both great Leonard movies, though.

I'm not sure I can call this my absolute favorite QT movie

I hesitate myself, but I think... ok, yeah. I can say that. Jackie Brown is my favorite QT movie.

IB beats this imho

I will fight you!

No wait... I won't.

whew shakey got all shaky there for a sec

is there an anigif of robert deniro having stand-up style intercourse with jane fonda's daughter yet

jane's niece, peter's daughter

fine but my primary point is the anigif, is there one

So good. It's always been my favourite, though maybe Basterds matches it? Time will tell. But I watched JB again only last week, oddly enough. Everyone is so good in this, even Chris Tucker ("you're catching a nigga off guard with this shit"), and the whole switch scene in the mall is just brilliant.

xp Lemme rip the movie, see what I can do. This could take a little while.

you would

Jackie Brown - Get Shorty - Out Of Sight is like the trifecta of great Leonard adaptations.

xp Hey don't request a gif and then insult me for offering. Doo-doo head.

i never requested a gif dog i just said is there one! so chill with the ad hominem attacks you rapist

It's always been my favourite, though maybe Basterds matches it?

This.

that one scene where the car leaves and comes back and the camera just stays in the same spot is awesome

the camera is lifted or whatever but the whole effect it gets is great

so chill with the ad hominem attacks you rapist

Ok that's kind of funny.

Ripped the whole movie, and was just about to whittle it down to a little animated gif, but decided that it wouldn't be funny enough without the punchline at the end: DeNiro saying, "That hit the spot."

Followed by a brief scene of Robert Forster in a record store buying a cassette. Which made me sad, because I bought so many cassettes in so many record stores, and now those stores don't exist at all.

Yeah, I watched the whole movie again. It sucks you in. It's that good.

RG: My favourite film you've made is 'Jackie Brown', and I was sorry to hear you were cool on it.

QT: I have never talked bad against Jackie Brown!

RG: But you said it was the film you felt most distanced from while you were making it.

QT: That's true, but that did not mean that I don't love Jackie Brown. No, no, no, no, not at all. This comes up, and I couldn't love Jackie Brown more. However - when I was making it there was a slight… Let me put it like this. With Inglourious Basterds, every aspect of it is a product of my imagination. Until I filled up those 160 pages, there was no Inglourious Basterds, it was completely created by me: the characters, the backstory, mythology, even the stuff that never finds its way into the movie but which I know about. Now, Jackie Brown is not that way. As different as the movie is from the book, there is a second-hand quality to it. It is Elmore Leonard's. I completely made it my own. Having said that, it did already exist. And I didn't know I'd have that feeling until when I was in post-production, and I found myself losing patience with the process. And that's the hardest part for me, when you're kind of over it, and you still have to do colour timing; the sound mix gets wonderful and sounds like a proper movie, but it's also hard work getting there.

RG: Is there a sense in which a person whose favourite movie of yours is 'Jackie Brown' could be said to not really 'get' you and what you're about?

QT: No. I love Jackie Brown. Although I do actually think, truthfully, that it's easy to call Jackie Brown my best movie. It's easy.

RG: How so?

QT: Well, there's a maturity to it that you can very officially hang your hat on. It's dealing with older characters. And the three-dimensional aspects of the movie… well, it's become almost revisionist among critics to love that. I was not given that much credit for the long, three-dimensional aspects at the time. When the movie came out, it was like, “Get fucking to it. Get on with it.” Now everyone seems to feel differently about it. That's not me being a smartass. The thing about Jackie Brown is that it gains a tremendous amount upon second, third, fourth viewings, and people had to go through that. And now they're there.

The thing is - and I'm being a bit of a smartass here, but in a fun way - that was literally what I always intended. I always intended Jackie Brown to be like Rio Bravo, which I feel is a great 'hangout' movie. Jackie Brown is a hangout movie. And that was always intended. I'm sincere about this. I thought that, if you liked Jackie Brown, then maybe it'd be a movie you'd watch every three years or every five years, and when you did, it would be almost like Jackie and Ordell and Max Cherry would be your friends, and you'd hang out with them every time you watched it. Dazed and Confused is a movie like that. So I always knew it'd take years for people, if they liked it, to get a sense of what I was doing.

At the same time, you know, if you watch Pulp Fiction tomorrow, you would go, “Wow, look at what he did here.” I mean, the experiments I did in that movie are still very bold. My point being: it's very easy to say Jackie Brown is your favourite. Look, I'm not trying to talk you out of that, but take a look at some of the other ones again and… you know, it's easy to take the others for granted.

Y'all are my people, y'all know this.

sry pplains

please pass the milk, please

AND he's literally the only director on Earth who was going to cast Forster and Grier as the leads in a movie in 1997

yes, and probably the only one with the confidence to play out the entire heist scene twice & at that pace. The film is a miracle.

lol pp

Tarantino more about footprints anyway surely

QT while he's editing one of the numerous female foot shoots in his movies

Oh no, someone accidentally added sexual overtones to the scene in Jackie Brown where the first woman Louis has seen in many years seduces him, in a manner that establishes her propensity for boundary-pushing. No wonder Sally Menke got fired for this blunder.
