It was a Teenage Wedding and the Old Folks Wished them well

Alright Christene, first off is My Best Friends Birthday , than Resivoir Dogs, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Natural born Killers....
we gots some gold to watch.

This is my gripe.
Why do people insist that Pulp Fiction is Tarantino's best flick? Because it's not. Almost all of them are better. Everyone loves the scene where John Travolta and Uma Thurman dance to Chuck Berry's Teenage Wedding. This is all they talk about. They never want to give it up. Come to terms with it people it's not his best movie.

My personal favorites are Jackie Brown, because it had Pam Grier in it and Coffey truly is the color of her skin and Resivoir Dogs because it had Harvey Keitel (need I say more. I think not).
Though I also feel that True Romance is under rated (Come on people it has Christian Slater how can you go wrong) and Natural Born Killers is comedy gold.
I am a huge fan of Woody Harrelson. He was one of the only reasons I watched Cheers.

Another gripe I have is when Grindhouse came out everyone was talking about Death Proof and how Quentin Tarantino is a god well to be honest Planet Terror was better and Robert Rodreguez deserves props for this it.

Whatever. I'm in.

"Looking for some Happiness but there is only loneliness to fiiiiiiinnnnddd."

This morning, I watched Death Proof with Kristyl, and came to a conclusion.
I fucking love Quentin Tarantino.

He could film himself crapping on a plate, add some '70's graphics and close ups of feet and I'd still love it.
It took me a long time to come to this. Up until today, I never really went out of my way to actually watch his movies (except for that brief stint in grade 11 when I had this huge crush on this kid who was obsessed with Quentin Tarantino).


My Resolution for 2009 is to watch every movie that Quentin Tarantino has ever made, (directed, written or both) in the order that they were made.


Tina, are you with me?
