Attended screening last night. It was almost 1 hour long. Other cast members were in audience. Eric Stolz Rosanna arquette producer lawrence Bender Phil Lamar among others. Emma and Tallulah Willis were there. Awesome experience
@@georgedulle6601 ya know what...?? I think what made that dialogue awkward was the fact it was delivered by someone like Tarantino. If only he'd picked a more prominent..seasoned actor, like John Turturro, or maybe just another black actor, like Wesley Snipes...the dialogue and scene would've worked better...more believable. I mean, did the character NEED to be a white guy..?? I just don't buy Jules would take that crap from Tarantino's Jimmy.
Absolutely. Listening them talk about cheeseburgers in the car? (we've all had conversations with our friends about cheeseburgers, the theory of cheeseburgers, what makes the RIGHT cheeseburger etc.)
ALL THE WISER. Now I just sit back and watch the world live in a Bubble with a ton of filters in fear of being shunned by people they will never meet in real life. While Laughing hysterically at their so called PROBLEMS with life on the interweb.
Pulp Fiction is a cinematic work of art. It was groundbreaking, original, and artistic. It was and still is brilliant. I loved this cast "reunion." They're all wonderfully talented individually AND dynamic collectively in this one-of-a-kind film.
I can't believe we're talking about Pulp Fiction 30 years later, a movie that has aged like a fine wine over the years, which also won a Palm D'Or at Cannes Film Festival. So, I'm glad they reunited the whole cast for the 30th anniversary of the film.
The fact that Uma came wearing those sandals exposing her feet like that is her way of saying to Quentin "too bad you didn't come to the reunion. You could've been sitting withing 1 meter from these". Hhahahahah
Before he became an actor, he was in the US Marine Corps. He's been jacked his whole life. You don't notice because he's not very tall, so he has a small frame. That "famous scene" in Bad Lieutenant is where you're like, "WTF!? Is this real!? I don't want to look, but this guy is like 55 and shredded like Bruce Lee!"
Travolta is so wonderful here. Makes me realize I have rarely seen any interviews with him. Would love to see him make something good again. What a movie star.
I saw it in when I was pretty young. Was afraid to go to quiet public restrooms for a while after that. I kid you not, I would look up to make sure nobody was coming over the top of the stall.
thanks cynthia didn't know this. (how he raised the money to make RESERVOIR DOGS) It WAS Tarantino but usually the studio makes you change a name like this. They'll complain that the title gives no info about the material/movie.
Thanks for that tidbit. I never knew that and always wondered why the hell he didn't direct it himself!! Tony Scott did a great job, yet I always find myself wondering what it would have been like if Q.T. directed it!
True Romance IS my favorite movie. The INSANE list of movie heavyweights in it is mind boggling to me, still, to this day. The brilliant dialogue in the movie is full on Tarantino.... unmistakably, imo.
@@robmarchese True Romance was written in the same style as PF, non linear so that the audience has to work out whats happening. I have the screenplay and its awesome.Tony Scott altered the structure to be linear, which , in my opinion ruined the film. Dont get me wrong, i absolutely love TR but can you imagine how it would have looked had it been filmed the way it was written? Tony also filmed two endings for TR, one where Clarence dies and one where he lives and asked QT what he thought. QT said he liked the way that both Alabama and Clarence survive and agreed to let the ending stay as filmed..
@@Techshadowzz QT probably realized that he had just made a "Hollywood insider " movie and it would be better to finish up with something fresh, like most of his movies have been.
@@bztrd80 I think we shouldn't rule it out. He's a huge fan, a huge nerd and consider the kinda creepy board game fantasy. Like something out of _Misery (1990)._
@@beingsshepherd Quentin, is not exactly your typical “huge acne-faced nerd”. The board game thing is just a test he does (he did that with many other actors), it’s his way of “casting”. Go listen the way he got Bruce Willis, he was at the peak of his career in those years.
Somehow these 1994 anniversaries are hitting me harder than '91, '92, '93 etc. Pulp Fiction, Clerks, Speed, Lion King, Hoop Dreams, Illmatic, Ready to Die, O.J. chase, Cobain's death, Nirvana Unplugged... so many.
Thanks for giving us this. I wanted to come to LA with my husband this year for the classic film festival. We are at least enjoying the experience-we love ya, Mank!
As a lifelong film lover and TCM fan, watching these and this festival piece is so meaningful to me. I remember seeing Pulp Fiction at its debut and was blown away by its uniqueness and simple yet sophisticated storytelling. This film is a special gem, never to be duplicated, and having the privilege of watching much of the cast discuss it is a thrill beyond words. Thank you TCM and participants. Thinking of you, Bruce Willis. ❤
No question and Sam Jackson received more accolades for "Pulp Fiction" than he ever did for "Die Hard 2". He became a serious actor who transcended stereotypes.
Back then this was the edgiest movie of that time It was a wild movie and it was so compelling and moved with so much excitement and action. Very unique. So many great cast members Harvey so young in Taxidriver He was outstanding as the wolf in pulp. Sam and John were iconic
We are so bless in this day of age where we can pick up our phones and just watch this interview or anything we want for that matter , Pulp Fiction Classic
The first time I saw this I was tripping balls.I remember the scene where Marcellus and Butch are talking and the camera doesn't move from Bruce's face....it changed my life....
I was in college and remember how the movie blew my mind and opened my eyes up to another world I never knew. To all those who took part in the movie...I raise my glass to you and say thank you! 🍷
Great reunion! I've seen Pulp Fiction many, many times! But I still can remember the first time I saw it at packed Chinese Theatre, and the hilarious response of the audience. 👍🏼
John Travolta was brilliant in Pulp and it really gave his career a second boost. Quinten is some director. Django, Jackie Brown and Inglorious Bastards are my favourites. But have loved all of them. 🙏
I teared up a bit when he says that they're just a little operation over at TCM with 40 employees, and these stars showed up for their event. That definitely is something special. It shows the respect and regard that they have for the history of cinema.
The small talk between Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) and Vincent (John Travolta) in "Pulp Fiction" is a brilliant illustration of their confidence and experience as hitmen. Their casual conversations highlight how comfortable and skilled they are, in stark contrast to wannabe gangsters who are too inexperienced to relax before going into action. This nuanced detail adds depth to their characters and sets them apart from the typical portrayal of criminals in films.
All you need to know about Pulp Fiction is that Hollywood is a copycat town and yet 30 years later no one has even come close to replicating Tarantino's masterpiece.
It was an Independent film or maybe mainstream Hollywood-independent film..that’s what Miramax was especially in the 1990’s. Like how A24 is which is why I call A24 the Miramax of the 2010’s.
@@Dieafreak Well I didn't say Pulp Fiction originated as a Hollywood film, although it certainly was distributed and promoted like one thanks to Miramax. I said that if Hollywood sees anything make that sort of return on an investment they will try their damndest to copy the formula as many times as it's successful. I think to some degree that's what may have gotten Guy Ritchie films like Lock Stock... and Snatch faster greenlights subsequently. When Harvey Keitel expressed both pride and amazement that Tarantino wrote "FINAL DRAFT" on his script before handing it over to the Weinstein's, which effectively that QT was demanding the autonomy of an independent (auteur) film, without ceding all the benefits of the Hollywood machine backing it both in theaters and in Awards ceremonies.
That’s because Hollywood is racist af it hasn’t been duplicated because they have no talent but if they gave black men a chance they’d get it done…instead all we get is fcked in the movie
@S.T.A.R.S.Program Tarintino co-wrote it I believe with Avery. He also either wrote the screenplay or completely wrote the screenplay. Which the story and screenplay are two complete different things. If Pulp Fiction were directed by somebody else it wouldn’t be the movie it has been or is today. Tarintino really directed a certain way that became and is still a masterpiece and gave it style. The dialogue too. I’ve worked in independent film in the past and you know the most important element or thing overall to a movie/ film is the director. Not so much the story writer, or screenwriter.
@S.T.A.R.S.Program What the fuck are you talking about? “Wanker”? You’re making a big deal over petty ass shit spilt milk. You got no life or something. Are you like one of those nerd “incel” outcasts who live on their moms basement wtf is a Tarantino apologist? Is that a woke term now. Haha! Or an identificatin? There are people who identify as a “Quentin Tarintino apologists” ?
that's really crazy. i had to go back to the video to see him again. if someone told me that guy was 45, and i didn't know anything about who he is and his career, i'd believe it
Pulp Fictions is one of my favorite films ever, if not my number one favorite. I really wish Tarantino and Keitel would have made a movie about Winston Wolf. That was a great character.
@@knownpleasures I think he wasn’t there as it was only a day after it was announced that he is cancelling his upcoming film. He probably didn’t want to answer any questions about it or address it
One thing that stood out for me about Tarantino is that he's not only a student of films but a historian as well. He can narrate forever this and that about a particular movie.
i was thinking the EXACT same thing! Fuctup he wasn't there! Harvey, god bless him but he's basically Biden at this point. That's why Bruce didn't show up, he didn't want to come off like that dude.
Just watched the Shawshank Redemption TCM interview before this one, remembered they were both released in 1994 but did some internet sleuthing and found that Shawshank and Pulp we're released October 14, 1994. I was 22 and went to go see both in the theater. Saw Pulp the 2nd week it was out and the theater was packed. Saw Shawshank the Saturday after it's release and there was less than 10 people in that theater (I only went bc I was a Tim Robbins/Jacob's Ladder fan).
Harvey Keitel deserves just as much acknowledgement & respect because without him QT would have never became a director!!!! He was ready to give up on directing until Harvey Keitel read his script & payed to have it made!!! Without him we definitely wouldn't have gotten Reservoir Dogs , Pulp Fiction , From Dusk Till Dawn , Jackie Brown , Kill Bill & Inglorious Bastards because those were all QT ideas that came after he made his first film that Harvey Keitel believed in making & producing ❤ Honestly we wouldn't have gotten any of his films when u think about it!!!! We may have gotten a few similar screenplays or novels but that would have been pretty much it!!!! At most we would have gotten a few of those film ideas directed by different directors at best
Maybe this is too bold a statement but I firmly believe Pulp Fiction is the most important film of the 90s. It can't be stated how big on an influence it had on movies for the entire decade.
I watched Pulp Fiction for the first time when I was in my mid teens! Since then I’ve made it a consistent point to watch it at least twice a year. I watch all of his films at least twice a year if not more!
What Nirvana did to the music industry, Pulp Fiction did for the movie industry. A literal change in the landscape of storytelling. I was there for them both.
@@leob4403 Maybe where you live, but not here in the UK. They were popular for a short time, but they never influenced bands here. They never changed the music landscape here. We had our own scene happening during that time.
1994 might be the most important year in film for my personal experience. "The Shawshank Redemption" forever made me appreciate what film is, and "Pulp Fiction" forever made me appreciate what film can be.
@@jedijones - I respectfully disagree. FG was a cheap nostalgia trip that was sold on "an amazing new filmmaking technique" (CGI) and lacked any real originality or substance. It was a schlocky rewritten American history montage at best. Even the soundtrack was corny. Zero originality especially in comparison to Shawshank and Pulp Fiction
Saw Pulp Fiction at Quentin Tarantino's Vista Theater in East Hollywood last month and the vibe was the same as I remember in 1994: It was sold out, with rowdy cheering and clapping throughout, and with applause at the end. Such a fun night.

@@jedijonesno, obviously they’ve talked about their issues since then. Most likely it’s about the issues of the war.
@@knownpleasures I think he wasn’t there as it was only a day after it was announced that he is cancelling his upcoming film. He probably didn’t want to answer any questions about it or address it
Not a word for Christopher Walken... I'm profoundly surprised 😮
Please... PLEASE, Quentin! Cast these actors on your last film, I BEG YOU!
Yes! Would be shocked if they didn't show up at all, especially Sam Jackson and probably John Travolta and Uma Thurman as well
@@thesuperfan2457 Keitel was his ticket to produce Reservoir Dogs. If the didn't sign he wouldn't get either the production or the distribution.
@@ftuT I know, I just haven't seen Keitel in a movie in decades, pretty sure he's retired.
@@thesuperfan2457 true, he's showing his 85 in this interview.
@@ftuT could still see him in a small cameo though, I'm sure Quentin would love it
Shoutout to Bruce Willis
All those people that hadn’t seen Pulp Fiction were in for a surprise.
Haven't seen it yet.
@@kennethrussell1158 Go into it as if it’s a comedy drama and not some dark flick.
@@kennethrussell1158 Get ready for a surprise!
Imagine not having seen it 😮 What a moment when you start it 😊
One thing that stood out for me about Tarantino is that he's not only a student of films but a historian as well. He can narrate forever this and that about a particular movie.
Jimmy/Tarantino’s coffee monologue with Mr. Wolfe was f*cking hilarious. Also the walking intro thru Jack Rabbit Slims. Brilliant film.
Enjoyed it very much. Uma is more beautiful now, than ever before.
I agree I thought she was washed up. I am wrong. Seen her in person accidently in NYC Union Square Park nearby unknowingly. She is tall.
too bad Ving Rhames wasn't there.
He would've most definitely given much better and insightful answers on THIS Tarantino movie than Harvey.... 😂😂
Could still be filming Mission Impossible 8 ... or kickin' it in the Carribbean.
i was thinking the EXACT same thing! Fuctup he wasn't there! Harvey, god bless him but he's basically Biden at this point. That's why Bruce didn't show up, he didn't want to come off like that dude.
So great to see them together again.
Just watched the Shawshank Redemption TCM interview before this one, remembered they were both released in 1994 but did some internet sleuthing and found that Shawshank and Pulp we're released October 14, 1994. I was 22 and went to go see both in the theater. Saw Pulp the 2nd week it was out and the theater was packed. Saw Shawshank the Saturday after it's release and there was less than 10 people in that theater (I only went bc I was a Tim Robbins/Jacob's Ladder fan).
Shawshank was release September 23, 1994 in the US.
Great job Ben. So disappointed I couldn't attend the festival this year. Thank you TCM for posting this video!
Harvey Keitel saying Harvey Weinstein's name while sitting next to Uma Thurman was a bit of a "yikes" moment.
I'm not sure Harvey knew where he was or who he was.
Yeah, these people are all complicit in his actions, don't fool yourself.
@@bjt81366tbh it's kinda charming how little of a shit he gives tbh
Weinstein is producer of Tarantino movies. know that fact?
@@ivan4087 I don't believe you.
John Travolta changed my whole life.
I got my first JT face tattoo. When I got out of prison everybody was real jealous of my new Ink!
Harvey Keitel deserves just as much acknowledgement & respect because without him QT would have never became a director!!!! He was ready to give up on directing until Harvey Keitel read his script & payed to have it made!!! Without him we definitely wouldn't have gotten Reservoir Dogs , Pulp Fiction , From Dusk Till Dawn , Jackie Brown , Kill Bill & Inglorious Bastards because those were all QT ideas that came after he made his first film that Harvey Keitel believed in making & producing ❤
Honestly we wouldn't have gotten any of his films when u think about it!!!! We may have gotten a few similar screenplays or novels but that would have been pretty much it!!!! At most we would have gotten a few of those film ideas directed by different directors at best
Maybe this is too bold a statement but I firmly believe Pulp Fiction is the most important film of the 90s. It can't be stated how big on an influence it had on movies for the entire decade.
Its hard to name a more influential film in the last 30 years... thats not saying BEST. but in terms of influence...
Really enjoyed listening to John Travolta talk. He speaks very well and seems like a genuine student of film.
PRICELESS. Grateful to have been there when it came out.
Harvey Keitel played the role of "the Cleaner" in two consecutive films.
No Ving Rhames? That seems pretty f'n far from OK.
He’s filming another Mission Impossible film right now
John Travolta just enjoyed a PANTERA concert in Florida. Hes 70 years old. That's an amazing thing. ☝🏼
fun interview, only slightly spoiled by the bad decision to give them hand microphones rather than lapel or headset mics.
I watched Pulp Fiction for the first time when I was in my mid teens! Since then I’ve made it a consistent point to watch it at least twice a year. I watch all of his films at least twice a year if not more!
What Nirvana did to the music industry, Pulp Fiction did for the movie industry. A literal change in the landscape of storytelling. I was there for them both.
You give nirvana far too much credit.
@@TheRetroManRandySavageYep, sadly you have to follow directions to get the big payday.
@@TheRetroManRandySavagenirvana were hugely influental
@@leob4403 Maybe where you live, but not here in the UK.
They were popular for a short time, but they never influenced bands here. They never changed the music landscape here.
We had our own scene happening during that time.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage theres no way you can say that for certain, even if you had brit pop
Harvey looks really good, like an old vampire. Those shades look good on him, I wonder what's that model. Looks lit.
1994 might be the most important year in film for my personal experience. "The Shawshank Redemption" forever made me appreciate what film is, and "Pulp Fiction" forever made me appreciate what film can be.
And both lost to corny ass Forrest fuckin Gump. SO LAME
@@MrOuchiez I could not agree more.
@@MrOuchiez Forrest Gump was just as great a movie as either of those.
@@jedijones - I respectfully disagree. FG was a cheap nostalgia trip that was sold on "an amazing new filmmaking technique" (CGI) and lacked any real originality or substance. It was a schlocky rewritten American history montage at best. Even the soundtrack was corny. Zero originality especially in comparison to Shawshank and Pulp Fiction
@@MrOuchiezbla bla bla. Forrest Gump is fucking awesome and just as beloved as the other two movies, deal with it
Saw Pulp Fiction at Quentin Tarantino's Vista Theater in East Hollywood last month and the vibe was the same as I remember in 1994: It was sold out, with rowdy cheering and clapping throughout, and with applause at the end. Such a fun night.
It would be cool to see an origin story of the Beatrix Kiddo (Black Mamba)
One of the most quotable movies in history. 🖤🖤
Thanks so much for sharing! ❤❤❤❤❤
✌❤🎥
🙏❤Bruce
OMG where has this channel been all my internet life?!?! I will go without sleep now with ALL this content!! TY TY @TCM!!
3:52 I admit. It sounded like the moderator said ‘R.V.’ instead of Harvey.
10:47 Keitel keeps talking about Reservoir Dogs.
12:04 “It’s KAI-TEL.”
Harvey is the best. He really took down those vampires in "From Dusk till Dawn"!
Awesome. Imagine watching this in the wayyy future, it will be a blessing to have around ❤🎉
Breaks my heart how people have to get old.
No one has to.
It is not easy.
It should break your heart how many people don't.
True... Especially when it's people who you absolutely love...
It happens, I feel that sort of terror too.
It’s a privilege to get old.
Shout out to Bruce Willis, we love you man 😢❤.
06:08 that’s the dream for any improv actor too
