Seen it? Did you like it?

I saw it today and I loved it. Its just a great movie, all around. I don't know what else to say...its a great story, its well acted, and the way it plays out feels very real. Makes me want to see the rest of Quentin Tarantino's movies. :goodjob:

EDIT: Oh, and it was nice to know what the colors-as-names is referring to. :)
 
I saw it years ago and though it sucked. Everyone I know loves it. I'll have to give it another try sometime.
 
Just couldn't get into it. don't remember much of it though
 
It was good.
But I don't understand how that guy got shot in the head and was still driving the getaway car. I can't remember his colour name, but he was played by Quentin Tarantino.
 
I was getting a tissue during that scene. :mad:

I just asked my brother what happened and the told me.

What I wonder though, did Mr. Pink get away? The cops came soon after he ran away. They don't say, I guess its better left untold...
 
Mr. Brown. I love that movie, granted it isn't in the top 10 of my list but I'll still go outta my way to watch it if it's on TV or something
 
I like any footage of cutting off ears to easy listening music.
 
It was an okay film, I'm not too big on Tarrantino, his films are kind of cliche if you ask me.
 
I liked it and especially the music :)
 
I think Tarantino is great. That said, Dogs is one of my favorite movies for pure enjoyment of all time.

Toby, Toby, Toby Wong? Toby Wong? Toby Chong? :D

Why do I have to Mr. Pink? :D

As for Mr. Pink, you can hear shouting and a shootout if you turn up the volume which makes me think Pink went down in a blaze of glory.

Apparantley Mr. Pink was apprehended if I remember correctly. There is a web site that you could go to that will explain what happened. Basically the guy had some sort of audio equipment that could drown out a lot of the sounds leaving the outside dialogue audiable.
 
Wow, I have to watch it again. I planned to anyway, the plot is a little hard to follow so it seems like the kind of movie you watch twice - once to figure it out and then again to really enjoy it. That just seems cool to me, that Tarantino would make an ending (Mr. Pink dying) that most of the people wouldn't even realize...

@ sysyphus: I can see why you would call Tarantino cliche - Reservoir Dogs is like the classic gangster/theft movie, but its an original take on it (they never show the actual crime). Also, the way he does his cliche genres almost feel like he's not doing that way just because its cliche but he's almost working in that genre. If that makes any sense...
 
Spoiler Warning: This post contains spolier info! For that matter, so does some of the rest of the thread, so nyah!

cgannon64, good movie. Not all his movies are quite in the same spirit. If you liked Resevoir Dogs you'll probably like Pulp Fiction.

I liked Jackie Brown, Kill Bill and Four Rooms, too. From Dusk Till Dawn I thought was really odd and didn't like it. I can't recall the other Tarentino movies right now.

I'll say this about Jackie Brown: It's a great movie, but it's about characters and can seem very slow and boring if you're not into character development but only action. I loved it though.

sysyphus, I think of his movies as more parodies or homages than cliche, but cliche is a far assessment, too. Supposedly Tarentino used to work in a video store and basically everything he makes is in the spirit of corny or B-grade movies.

Mescalhead, I remember hearing that unaided the first time or two I saw it, but the movie was on a cable channel recently and I couldn't hear it then. Mr. Orange had already said that the cops were staking the place out and waiting for the head honcho to show up before raiding the place, so Mr. Pink surely walked out into a sea of cops since the big guy had recently entered the garage. I don't recall hearing shooting outside, though, and that would seem to be against his character to me. I think he would quickly surrender and chalk it up to a really bad day and really bad luck.

As far as the end, though, I was never sure who shot who first, and the last time I saw it I started wondering if Mr. Pink actually shot someone from under the ramp or even started the shooting realizing everyone would be killed and he'd get the loot to himself. I'd have to rent it and run it through slow quite a few times to be sure, though.
 
A very fine movie. Different than most productions. It's really one of its kind. I see someone finds it rather cliche..... Well, we all can have our opinions, but this remark is quite funny in my view.
 
I'm still convinced Pink went down.

Keitel got two shots off at the end. I had to rewind/replay a few times to see it.
 
I think Mr. Pink was killed escaping. Good movie. I like the scene when Mr. Pink is arguing about tipping.

Why give it another try? It was marginally entertaining, had useless and excessive profanity live every other Tarantino movie (he does it worse than any other movie. period) and had cruel violence which is not fun to watch.

Like most other Tarantino movies it was way overrated. I mean, they're fun but nothing amazing (although parts of Kill Bill were pretty orriginal :))
