I can't even imagine a world where Harvey Keitel isn't considered one of the coolest & greatest actors. Also, whoever's doing those impressions is amazing.
I left the theater after watching this movie completely blown away. I was stumbling around in a daze. It left a lasting impression on me. That is why this is my favorite movie of all time.
He was indeed fantastic in that. Didn't even have any staged combat experience at all (his own admission). But obviously, the training for the scenes and his experience as a confident actor paid off. Ridley's direction of that film was perfect as well. As an FYI, my background was in saber fencing (12 medals, and I instructed for a decade or so).
Wow Tarantino's response to critics saying he stole from City On Fire is amazing. That's a true artist's response. What a smart, grounded dude all the way from the beginning. That confidence is what makes him and his stuff so powerful, to me at least.
My mom LOVED her some Harvey Keitel, right up until that Bad Lieutenant movie. After that, she will turn off any movie once he appears. I have to remind her that it was just a role in a movie lol.
@@JayKilgore Was it the scene with the two girls that he pulled over? After seeing that, my mom, aunt and uncle were very "Uhhh..." about Harvey Keitel after that.
If I'm not mistaken, he took the movie to every production studio, & the only production co. that would back him, was Danny Devitos production Co. If it wasn't for Divito, we may not have any of the other Tarantino movies. He needed to get this movie out, so that ppl could see his genius. Frank Reynolds for the win 🏆
Danny Devito was actually offered the role of Winston Wolf for Pulp Fiction but he turned it down and only stuck with being one of the executive producers.
Didn't remember hearing about this movie much then my friend in University said to go and watch this and True Romance in a double feature in a small cinema. I'll never forget that day in the early 90s.
Michael Madsen is a freaking acting genius,very underrated,and should have been the front man in alot more films,i get excited anytime i see Michael in any up & coming films
Reservoir Dogs was and continues to be a revelation. It increased my love for film as an artform. He was ahead of his time and at the same time started a new era and form of film making.
I was a kid in Jr high in Salt Lake City when Reservoir Dogs played at Sundance (ten miles up the mountain in Park City). One of my friend's cool older brothers scored a bootleg vhs tape of the movie--I think it was just recorded it from a showing in the Park City theater, because the sound sucked, the screen jumped around, and a couple times everything went totally black, probably because whomever was filming suddenly had to hid the camera. Even still my friends and I watched that tape hundreds of times and made copies of it for anyone who asked, each one slightly lower quality than the last. RD was a revelation, like someone made the exact movie we had always wanted to see, and we declared that no film would ever top it...then Pulp Fiction came out.
@@Jack-kp4qo Probably are righty though as I had it on Pirate as did everyone at the time. YEARS before I got that box set so. I know I pimped that film like I was getting commission from it. LOL. Great video btw.
@@Jack-kp4qo yeah that sounds about right. i had to put in an order for the vhs to get it in 97.watched it daily for bout a month straight when i got it lol
Great videos!! I consider myself a encyclopedia of films and general behind the scenes info and let me tell you, you really help fill in a lot of blanks. Keep up the great work.
It is ironic that at 10:10 into this and just after the steal vs. homage quote, the background music is from "The History Guy: History Deserves To Be Remembered"" followed by the music from "Paul Harrell". Both of these guys are fantastic talents on UA-cam.
Like most, Reservoir Dogs was my first meal at the banquet of Tarantino and I've been a devotee ever since. I'll always have a special place in my heart for RD but Pulp Fiction is the cream of the crop.
Wow Samuel L. Jackson auditioned for Holdaway? I never knew that til today. When I watch the scene with Randy Brooks and Tim Roth in the restaurant I always new it wasn't hard to see Jackson in that role.
I was educated in Fine Arts & one of the topics put forward was that it is...in then-present day (early 80's) Fine Art and earlier in Art History virtually impossible to create a wholly origional work which did not in some way ~ conscious or unconsciously ~ reference an earlier individual work/artist/genre. The arguement was, if you are indeed an artist: and of the MANY definitions of "ART" the single definition which resonates with truth for me is thus: "Art is that which makes you (the individual member exposed to the work) FEEL INTENSELY STRONG EMOTION. The prof explained this is not necessarily "positive" emotions...but to be meaningful it MUST MAKE YOU FEEL. It is, he, the best professor I ever studied under, explained, the facet of ART which elevates a piece with perhaps, technically brilliant work from CRAFT to HIGH ART. If the inidividual artist lacks PASSION ~ passion which likely drew the artist to a creative field ~ their work is arguably NOT HIGH ART as it LACKS the emotion imbued by one who cares deeply and LOVES their process. The emotion INFUSED in a work of ART: be it one of the historic caregories of high visual art, in the field of dance, or music, or other developing art forms (such as how certain games are transcendently beautiful and evoke INTENSE EMOTIONS: a Souls boss fight wherein the character design, movement, audio, music and every lovingly created detail combines to MAKE YOU FEEL intense emotion) each work capable of making YOU FEEL is YOUR ART. TARANTINO LOVES MOVIES. You can NOT watch an interview or sound bite and not know his passion is unfeigned and genuine. Those who criticized him, by this definition of ART were deeming his work ART as they were DRIVEN TO FEEL INTENSE EMOTION ~ albeit negative ~ as a result of his WORK. True artists fight to have their VISION uncompromised by those with power over them: they refuse to yield and have the courage and authenticty to refuse to diminish their work, however intense the pressure to do so. One clear example of this in Fine Art is how Artists depicted imbred monarchs genetic weaknesses...and such comissioned works were loved by the subjects as the artists knew to take great care on the trappings of their ostentatious wealth and power. The works are LAUGHABLY and unambiguously HARSH CRITICISMS of this class of society: as the gentic inferioriotities are BLATANTLY OBVIOUS. If such SUBJECTS were as INTELLIGENT as the ARTSISTS they would have FELT what the intended audience FEELS when the TRUTH of their weaknesses were so accurately portrayed. Such works do not engender feelings of respect for the subjects but rather DISRESPECT and intensely NEGATIVE emotions, as was the INTENT of the ARTIST. ART will out.
The music at 8:47 makes me want to recite "The Meat Target is leather couch skin, followed by pork steak pectorals, pork ribs, bags of oranges to simulate lung tissue, more pork ribs on the back, three layers of tshirts on the front, three layers of tshirts on the back, and the whole thing followed by the new and improved high tech fleece bullet stop."
Reservoir dogs struck me as a theater play. It could have been staged as there's just one room. That and the new style made it a top cinema event. Tarantino is, just like Coppola, a fantastic story teller.
That was his plan. He sold it for around 30k and was going to do a cheaper version of reservoir dogs but ended up getting financing for 1.2 million so he didn’t use his own money.
James Woods' agent was given the Reservoir Dogs script, for Woods' possible portrayal of Mr. Pink. The agent turned it down. After Woods saw the film, he fired his agent.
Reservoir dogs in my own presonal opinion, is in my top 10 best no in fact top 5 gangster movies i've ever seen, total class from start to finish. thanks guys for thr download. 🏴 👍 🇬🇧
Wow I had no idea how much of that Chow Young Fat movie was used to make Reservoir Dogs. That’s the biggest thing that Urkes me about Tarrentino is how much he steals from other movies. His dialogue however in his movies is what lures me in.
Didn't the script for True Romance already get picked up by a studio before Tarantino even started filming Reservoir Dogs? Like I distinctly remember Tarantino saying he used the money from selling True Romance to buy equipment to film a demo for Reservoir Dogs, which probably included the scenes with Steve Buscemi that he took to the Sundance Festival. Point being that the success of Reservoir Dogs isn't what got eyes on True Romance, although maybe it helped get film production greenlit.
Yes, Tarantino had sold the True Romance script to Tony Scott for around 30 000 dollars, but instead of just a demo, his plan was to shoot the whole film with that money on black and white 16mm with himself and his friends as the actors. Producer Lawrence Bender was supposed to be in one of the lead roles, but he wanted to make the film more professionally. Tarantino gave Bender something like three weeks to get financing for the project, and if he couldn't, they would just make the film on the original budget. Bender got the script to Harvey Keitel and that got them the 1.5 million budget. The "demo scenes" with Buscemi were part of the Sundance Institute Labs training in June 1991, when they already had the money and cast in place. Reservoir Dogs started shooting the next month.
10:12 “unarmed”? You mean disarmed ? Unarmed is when you don’t posses any weapon, disarm is when you take the methods of harm away from someone - please correct me if I’m incorrect
Lol Tarantino asked Madonna if he had guessed the hidden meaning behind "Like a Virgin" to which Madonna laughed, because there IS no hidden message behind "Like a Virgin" or any of her songs. Nice of him to overestimate her though.
It totalled 145k first week us and 2.8 mil after it expanded to 61 cinemas. So you’re wrong about it being 3 mil in 20 odd cinemas or whatever first week it was 145 in US
True romance was sold before. But it wasn’t sold to fund reservoir dogs. That was Tarantino’s original plan do to it cheap with the 30k he got. But didn’t need to because he got financing to do it for more.
Eventhough Randy Brooks is barely in the movie...if Samuel L Jackson had gotten the role of his character in the movie...Pulp Fiction not only would've been his second time starring in a tarantino film but also his second time working with Tim Roth and the two sharing a diner scene together.
How can people not wrap their heads around this; everyone in 'The Biz' that want the success fame and notoriety, mostly're, always about tryin' to bring somebody down, in hopes by doin' so they'll get to fill that gap they created after ruining somebody's day, life and career. But the destroyer is so uptight from the stress, pressure and anxiety, from the day in and day out struggles trying to make it, trying to be seen, or, trying to get discovered--as it is VERY MUCH akin to making it in pro sports, NASCAR, the theater, novelist, dancer, the music industry, video games, and, nearly every creative big dream job, or artistic endeavor--it really is, ALMOST, like hitting the lottery in LOTS of ways except it isn't completely luck nor how talented you might be at least entirely, for, it really is as they say despite how cliché this saying has become, though "to become a 'true' 'star,' it truly entails something like divine intervention and stars having to align not only just right but just right at the correct time"--AND, so many people trying to break out are simply unable to grasp it just must not be in the cards for them. Same with an inability to have children or find a mate they can grow old and die with. Please, do not take this as discouragement you should try, 'cause at least then you'll be able to live with yourself knowing THAT YOU GAVE IT YOUR ALL, and, I am also not saying you should give it up a point, sometime in your life either, certainly by all means, never give in, but, don't allow it to destroy you, either, or consume ALL that you know or that you are. If it didn't work out, do something else for a while, maybe go back to the drawing board, to hone or work on a few things then, later, give it another shot, that first shot can't ruin you because maybe it wasn't YOUR TIME, but the next time might BE... God, or the universe or whatever, has a weird way of working out that way. Perhaps it simply is that you want IT too bad...Ever heard the saying(s) "You'll find love THE SECOND you stop looking or when least expecting to find it"? That isn't ALWAYS TRUE, but, it IS a surprisingly amount of the time...my point of this ranting is that it is just as important to keep all of your options open, as it is to keep up drive, or dedication, or ambition, or continuing to work on your craft--anyway! sorry for the "little" detour, haha, but to get back on a track wherever I was headed up above in the beginning--but helpin to bring down a person not deserving to fill in will almost never work just bad karma ju-ju whatever you want to call it, a bad vibe, a bad look or bad luck, God and the universe always will respond better by way of love--"You'll catch more flys with honey than vinegar" or "bees" if you prefer, or with YOU smart aleck shithead lol--but the much BETTER route will always be through love and/or honest praise, not sucking up or blowing smoke up someone's ass, but, genuinely offered respectful non-insane fan-boying out, as, not only is that much more likely to work, maybe you have chemistry, and the person whose time for success then might bring you along, for the next wave of their, then, both of your, sucess(es). IT seems lots of comedians struggle WITH this very thing, too, as many look back in hindsight with regrets about it. And what I think the main thing about it actually is, you will sleep a whole lot better, will then be able to look yourself in the mirror and be able to stand yourself, a lot more, this way, taking the high road, and, the better man's (or woman's) way! Unless...that is, of course, you are a psychotic sociopath without a conscience, or soul, and you're ability to care is slim to nil or phoney, AT BEST--which there are way more of these than most people KNOW or like to admit, both, in The Biz, as well as CEO's or ANY position of power!--but, let's be honest as none of them would care taking the time to try and read or slog through all this, at ALL anyway, they're all too busy screwin' over their employees or hookers or living double lives covering their tracks of bein' serial killers or what have you haha... SO there you have IT! To make it you START with talent, drive, ambition, curiosity, but, it also takes luck, and proper timing, ALL these truly aligning all at once. Hence, IT REALLY IS all but completely beyond our control, though we can have a hand in IT, in our own fate or destiny... Spread LOVE never HATE! Hate only breeds more hate, cancer, and ulcers, lol. This has been my PSA for the day haha! BE KIND TO EACH OTHER OKAY CHILDREN?! PEACE OUT!!!
Whoops! I just came back once I had realized I'd completely flubbed what I originally had set OUT to comment... Quickly derailing myself and I NEVER brought IT BACK around to, whatever original message I MEANT to deliver. Though everything I'd mentioned was good stuff, too, so it's FINE. But, what Quentin DOES with film is, essentially, exactly the same as, (such and such), musician(s) does(do) whenever ONE, occasionally DOES, get their big time BREAK from a cover song version the band didn't write, originally, but THEIR version's what gets recognized, MORE than the original ONE, and WE ARE all basically fine with THIS, but, for SOME reason, in another medium, it's not ok! LIKE how DMB, Dylan, and Hendrix, all have had GREAT versions of "All Along the Watchtower," to varying degrees of success, throughout different times, in both linear time AND THEIR CAREERS. What Quentin does though is different, slightly, CLOSER TO Eminem's "Sing for the Moment," USING (or borrowing) the chorus of "Dream On," by Aerosmith, or him or other rappers doing REMIXES or SUCH to varying degrees. But maybe a closer example, would possibly be, say, Alien Ant Farm's, "Smooth Criminal," IN IT'S, basically, ripping off of the King of Pop's music and videos, and we for the most part were and are fine with that! I will still jam that ish from time to time! What's the bloody difference?! Nothing! That's what! phew! I feel so so so much better, now, that I have come back HERE and gotten all of that out! LmMFaO!
it's CAN, not cawn.. Caan is Kahn in Normandy. CANN is Cannes. Really, its pronounced properly on all news channels during the festival. its just lazy not to get it right.
RD has not aged that well, feels kind of Naff ( a bit crap) now although has still has some charm to it. Pulp Fiction , however has gotten better and better with age. If you had asked me in the late 90's/early 00's I would have said RD was the better film, now I would say Pulp Fiction is and its not even close. Besides RD is "City on Fire"(1987) re imagined with US actors instead of Chinese. It even uses a lot of the same visual direction in places

I can't even imagine a world where Harvey Keitel isn't considered one of the coolest & greatest actors.
Also, whoever's doing those impressions is amazing.
he is in the new disney YA series "National Treasure"
@@stelladonaconfredobutler9459 he was in the original National Treasure movie as well.
👍
I left the theater after watching this movie completely blown away. I was stumbling around in a daze. It left a lasting impression on me. That is why this is my favorite movie of all time.
Harvey Keitel was also in Ridley Scott's "The Duellists" and nailed the character perfectly.
He was indeed fantastic in that. Didn't even have any staged combat experience at all (his own admission). But obviously, the training for the scenes and his experience as a confident actor paid off. Ridley's direction of that film was perfect as well.
As an FYI, my background was in saber fencing (12 medals, and I instructed for a decade or so).
AGREE
I liked Harvey in the first Sister Act movie as the boyfriend/killer,Reservoir Dogs,and Mortal Thoughts.
Alice doesn't live here anymore - is a forgotten classic
Wow Tarantino's response to critics saying he stole from City On Fire is amazing. That's a true artist's response. What a smart, grounded dude all the way from the beginning. That confidence is what makes him and his stuff so powerful, to me at least.
My dad took me to see this when I was 13. It's my favorite movie of all time. I know it word for word.
Harvey's role as a dirty cop in Bad Lieutenant was amazingly powerful
Don't forget Cop Land as a dirty cop as well
@@bobbymariani2839 And as a dirty cop in Order of Death/Copkiller.
Damn skippy, Bad Lieutenant is a heavy film. It’s untouchable.
My mom LOVED her some Harvey Keitel, right up until that Bad Lieutenant movie. After that, she will turn off any movie once he appears. I have to remind her that it was just a role in a movie lol.
@@JayKilgore Was it the scene with the two girls that he pulled over? After seeing that, my mom, aunt and uncle were very "Uhhh..." about Harvey Keitel after that.
If I'm not mistaken, he took the movie to every production studio, & the only production co. that would back him, was Danny Devitos production Co.
If it wasn't for Divito, we may not have any of the other Tarantino movies. He needed to get this movie out, so that ppl could see his genius. Frank Reynolds for the win 🏆
Danny Devito was actually offered the role of Winston Wolf for Pulp Fiction but he turned it down and only stuck with being one of the executive producers.
And it's still making money to this day.

Yeah, I don't remember hearing about it either in the early 90s but I do remember seeing the VHS box for it In Blockbuster lol
Michael Madsen is a freaking acting genius,very underrated,and should have been the front man in alot more films,i get excited anytime i see Michael in any up & coming films
Ironic that someone wanted the torture scene... cut off
That was good…
Well I'm glad it wasn't cut...the more blood and gore the better and that's easily a given with the majority of tarantinos films.

Have you seen the movie Diner?
This is the content we need. Well versed, tight writing, and ORIGINAL content. Danke!!!
Reservoir Dogs is my favorite Tarantino film. The acting, writing, direction is truly amazing. It’s defiantly deserving of the cult following it had.
I was a kid in Jr high in Salt Lake City when Reservoir Dogs played at Sundance (ten miles up the mountain in Park City). One of my friend's cool older brothers scored a bootleg vhs tape of the movie--I think it was just recorded it from a showing in the Park City theater, because the sound sucked, the screen jumped around, and a couple times everything went totally black, probably because whomever was filming suddenly had to hid the camera.

Was definitely released in the UK on VHS as I had the box set. A friend bought it for me for Christmas.
According to Wikipedia, it wasn't released on VHS in the U.K for 3 years. Tho it was re-released in cinema in 1994.

I love being able to recognize scenes from other movies in his movies ^-^
The cop torture scene is what made the movie so popular.
It is sooo satisfying movie-goer leave the theaters like they just watch Rocky.
Great videos!!
I consider myself a encyclopedia of films and general behind the scenes info and let me tell you, you really help fill in a lot of blanks.
Keep up the great work.
Steve Buscemi was great in this film.
I agree, every line was perfect. He acted hiss ass off in that film.
Reservoir dogs one of my all-time favorites!
You must be a big lee marvin's fan

*What you didn't know about Reservoir Dogs*
1 - There are no dogs in Reservoir Dogs
2 - There are no Reservoirs in Reservoir Dogs
There's a dog. Sort of. But he/she was in Mr. Orange's story, which was completely made up, so your original point still stands.
What's with the huge cut at 3:22 ?
For a beggining channel, these are really great videos. Thanks my man!

Is the t shirt Quentin is wearing available for purchase?
I seriously can't fathom the fact you only have 25k subs
Thank you for your support! Do not hesitate to share with your friends, maybe we get more subs!
Still my favorite Tarantino film. Jackie Brown is up there, though.
And I get his filmmaking, he's not false and never claims anything more than what he is. It's not his fault he's brilliant at what he does. 😉
Martin Scorsese and Harvey Keitel got their start with Scorsese's first film " Who's That Knocking At My Door?".
Tarantino did not regret keeping the ear scene it at all, not sure where you got that from
Didn't the script for True Romance already get picked up by a studio before Tarantino even started filming Reservoir Dogs?

@3:21 you’ve accidentally cut out a segment.
08:41, "2 cartridges of bullets" would only be 2 bullets. 1 cartridge=1 round
You're welcome.
10:12 “unarmed”? You mean disarmed ? Unarmed is when you don’t posses any weapon, disarm is when you take the methods of harm away from someone - please correct me if I’m incorrect
The cop scene was my favorite scene!
Michael Madsen was badass character for Mr blonde lol
Mr pink and the tips lmfao
Michael Madison killed his roll
2:00 I am glad Tarantino stuck to being the director and not the main lead.
A superb film.
So the best way to break into Hollywood is to rewrite a great Asian film that no one in Hollywood knows about
Ok he did say and admitted that he steals and pays homages I can’t hate on that and the honesty. Still my fav director ever
Lol Tarantino asked Madonna if he had guessed the hidden meaning behind "Like a Virgin" to which Madonna laughed, because there IS no hidden message behind "Like a Virgin" or any of her songs. Nice of him to overestimate her though.
You can try to plagiarize & copy something that you think is cool. But to copy it and make it super cool (which is what QT did) is on another level.
It totalled 145k first week us and 2.8 mil after it expanded to 61 cinemas. So you’re wrong about it being 3 mil in 20 odd cinemas or whatever first week it was 145 in US
Quentin might’ve stole scenes from other country films or simply other movies but he made it look better than the original though!
So he’s the Apple of filmmakers!!
No mention of the video game?

I love Mr.orange❤Tim Roth is a great actor ever.
Yeah, really missing him on the big screen
Thought True Romance was sold to fund Reservoir Dogs, not sold after?
True romance was sold before. But it wasn’t sold to fund reservoir dogs. That was Tarantino’s original plan do to it cheap with the 30k he got. But didn’t need to because he got financing to do it for more.
Any semblance to City on Fire deranged delusion for sure.
Which movie do you wish you could have been in.....Mr Pink.
Eventhough Randy Brooks is barely in the movie...if Samuel L Jackson had gotten the role of his character in the movie...Pulp Fiction not only would've been his second time starring in a tarantino film but also his second time working with Tim Roth and the two sharing a diner scene together.
Saturno 3... no sé nada de esa peli. Tendré q verla!
Let's go to the "Khan" film festival!
Keitel did it with Scorsese with who's that knocking at my door. Both of their first movies
We talked about it in our 4 hour documentary about Scorsese)
Great video, but the fact that the narrator sounds like Troy McClure is hella distracting
Him borrowing concepts isn't stealing its no different than sampling in hip hop
he was right about the tip
Thelma was fine but his Judas was terrible. Juda Ischariot by way of Brooklyn.
I live in the neighborhood the movie was filmed in called highland park
"EXposed"! P.Diddy couldn't have done better
I've seen City on Fire. About 2% is similar.
Omg!!? Were Quentin and Fish separated at birth!!??🤯
Why didn’t he choose Samuel
How can people not wrap their heads around this; everyone in 'The Biz' that want the success fame and notoriety, mostly're, always about tryin' to bring somebody down, in hopes by doin' so they'll get to fill that gap they created after ruining somebody's day, life and career. But the destroyer is so uptight from the stress, pressure and anxiety, from the day in and day out struggles trying to make it, trying to be seen, or, trying to get discovered--as it is VERY MUCH akin to making it in pro sports, NASCAR, the theater, novelist, dancer, the music industry, video games, and, nearly every creative big dream job, or artistic endeavor--it really is, ALMOST, like hitting the lottery in LOTS of ways except it isn't completely luck nor how talented you might be at least entirely, for, it really is as they say despite how cliché this saying has become, though "to become a 'true' 'star,' it truly entails something like divine intervention and stars having to align not only just right but just right at the correct time"--AND, so many people trying to break out are simply unable to grasp it just must not be in the cards for them. Same with an inability to have children or find a mate they can grow old and die with. Please, do not take this as discouragement you should try, 'cause at least then you'll be able to live with yourself knowing THAT YOU GAVE IT YOUR ALL, and, I am also not saying you should give it up a point, sometime in your life either, certainly by all means, never give in, but, don't allow it to destroy you, either, or consume ALL that you know or that you are. If it didn't work out, do something else for a while, maybe go back to the drawing board, to hone or work on a few things then, later, give it another shot, that first shot can't ruin you because maybe it wasn't YOUR TIME, but the next time might BE... God, or the universe or whatever, has a weird way of working out that way. Perhaps it simply is that you want IT too bad...Ever heard the saying(s) "You'll find love THE SECOND you stop looking or when least expecting to find it"? That isn't ALWAYS TRUE, but, it IS a surprisingly amount of the time...my point of this ranting is that it is just as important to keep all of your options open, as it is to keep up drive, or dedication, or ambition, or continuing to work on your craft--anyway! sorry for the "little" detour, haha, but to get back on a track wherever I was headed up above in the beginning--but helpin to bring down a person not deserving to fill in will almost never work just bad karma ju-ju whatever you want to call it, a bad vibe, a bad look or bad luck, God and the universe always will respond better by way of love--"You'll catch more flys with honey than vinegar" or "bees" if you prefer, or with YOU smart aleck shithead lol--but the much BETTER route will always be through love and/or honest praise, not sucking up or blowing smoke up someone's ass, but, genuinely offered respectful non-insane fan-boying out, as, not only is that much more likely to work, maybe you have chemistry, and the person whose time for success then might bring you along, for the next wave of their, then, both of your, sucess(es). IT seems lots of comedians struggle WITH this very thing, too, as many look back in hindsight with regrets about it. And what I think the main thing about it actually is, you will sleep a whole lot better, will then be able to look yourself in the mirror and be able to stand yourself, a lot more, this way, taking the high road, and, the better man's (or woman's) way! Unless...that is, of course, you are a psychotic sociopath without a conscience, or soul, and you're ability to care is slim to nil or phoney, AT BEST--which there are way more of these than most people KNOW or like to admit, both, in The Biz, as well as CEO's or ANY position of power!--but, let's be honest as none of them would care taking the time to try and read or slog through all this, at ALL anyway, they're all too busy screwin' over their employees or hookers or living double lives covering their tracks of bein' serial killers or what have you haha... SO there you have IT! To make it you START with talent, drive, ambition, curiosity, but, it also takes luck, and proper timing, ALL these truly aligning all at once. Hence, IT REALLY IS all but completely beyond our control, though we can have a hand in IT, in our own fate or destiny... Spread LOVE never HATE! Hate only breeds more hate, cancer, and ulcers, lol. This has been my PSA for the day haha! BE KIND TO EACH OTHER OKAY CHILDREN?! PEACE OUT!!!
Whoops! I just came back once I had realized I'd completely flubbed what I originally had set OUT to comment... Quickly derailing myself and I NEVER brought IT BACK around to, whatever original message I MEANT to deliver. Though everything I'd mentioned was good stuff, too, so it's FINE. But, what Quentin DOES with film is, essentially, exactly the same as, (such and such), musician(s) does(do) whenever ONE, occasionally DOES, get their big time BREAK from a cover song version the band didn't write, originally, but THEIR version's what gets recognized, MORE than the original ONE, and WE ARE all basically fine with THIS, but, for SOME reason, in another medium, it's not ok! LIKE how DMB, Dylan, and Hendrix, all have had GREAT versions of "All Along the Watchtower," to varying degrees of success, throughout different times, in both linear time AND THEIR CAREERS. What Quentin does though is different, slightly, CLOSER TO Eminem's "Sing for the Moment," USING (or borrowing) the chorus of "Dream On," by Aerosmith, or him or other rappers doing REMIXES or SUCH to varying degrees. But maybe a closer example, would possibly be, say, Alien Ant Farm's, "Smooth Criminal," IN IT'S, basically, ripping off of the King of Pop's music and videos, and we for the most part were and are fine with that! I will still jam that ish from time to time! What's the bloody difference?! Nothing! That's what! phew! I feel so so so much better, now, that I have come back HERE and gotten all of that out! LmMFaO!
it's CAN, not cawn.. Caan is Kahn in Normandy. CANN is Cannes. Really, its pronounced properly on all news channels during the festival. its just lazy not to get it right.
Wind river trailer:)
1:10 The Hessian as a young man …
They all knew what winestien was doing.
Lol, well, if he did copy the film, he did it incredibly well! No hate for genius. ❤️
good old Gillingham
Yeah, their a great football team... Terry Gilliam is a great director too... 😁
Madonna had nothing to do with the writing of "Like A Virgin", so asking her if he was right about its meaning is meaningless itself.
He ultimately got played for a fool by the narc!
that movie would be so much better with Samuel L Jackson
RD has not aged that well, feels kind of Naff ( a bit crap) now although has still has some charm to it. Pulp Fiction , however has gotten better and better with age.
If you had asked me in the late 90's/early 00's I would have said RD was the better film, now I would say Pulp Fiction is and its not even close.
Besides RD is "City on Fire"(1987) re imagined with US actors instead of Chinese. It even uses a lot of the same visual direction in places
Why was Quentin only friends with Harvey for 27 years? Oh yeah...
How dare you use Paul Harrell's intro song -.-
That animal blundetto
Madonna didn't even write Like a Virgin.
The guy doing the voice overs is terrible lol, but learned something new.
