Movies, Actors & Directors (MAD) Tournament: TRAG WINS!!

[E.H. Ruddock]

What's your take on the scenes left on the cutting room floor? Sounds like Leon got a bit pedo on it.

Yeah there were some deleted scenes and a few not filmed that were written. Idk, hard to justify the scenes without sounding pedo-y, but i think part of the intent was that the tension was coming from her as she was doing whatever she thought he wanted so she could stay with him, while his struggle was just not getting attached and getting her killed.

[E.H. Ruddock]

See that doesn’t even sound right when i read it.

[Ello Sailor]

No, that's a fair take.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Nobody’s mentioned boogie nights yet? One of my all-time favorites but couldn’t pick it over Fargo or punch drunk love

[Ello Sailor]

Ehhh

[Ello Sailor]

No one took Jackie Brown or Reservoir Dogs, either.

[Ello Sailor]

Get LV in here immediately.

[Ello Sailor]

I think the most surprising omission is The Big Lebowski. Hell, even O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Too many great movies.

[deletes Ruddo from phone]

Have you seen the movie?

But didn’t Besson have a relationship with a 15 year old when he was 29? So no doubt the movie’s undertones are creepy AF.

[VinylGuy]

I thought about both Lebowski and Jackie Brown. Both are masterpieces for me, but i went with Pulp Fiction, which is a safer choice for RM i guess.

Pulp is still his best movie

yeah, maybe. Jackie Brown seems his more mature. In a way it has more to say than PF. I feel he kinda come back to that in Once...

Reservoir Dogs is his best movie. But Pulp Fiction is good too.

The thing about Lebowski is probably how many of its parts are represented elsewhere--not just the Coens and their other films from decades that were less stacked, but also Goodman, Hoffman, etc.
