Had a fabulous visit with r00 and turtle and Princess r00tle on Sunday (I was in Denver for the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest at Mr. G's invitation for the WYWH 5.1 SACD preview) but it was much too short!

I agree completely.  Like I said, it felt like we had already met several times before.  <3

NICE!

WYWH is my favorite Pink Floyd album hands down. I hope it was amazing! (in face, that is more then likely what my dad gets for xmas is all the new albums.)


Pulp Fiction is an amazing movie. some of the best lines ever come from that movie... (I love the coffee part.) And yes, Luna is awesome!

I think Pulp Fiction is the movie I have watched more times in my life than any other.  It just never gets old for me and I would definitely call it my #1 film of all time.  Tarantino has done plenty of other good movies since, but never at that level of total perfection.  From the casting to the script to the soundtrack, I couldn't see any changes that would have improved it IMO.

I was thinking last night that it is definitely my #1 repeat movie, I can't remember the first time I saw it, I wasn't old enough to go to the theater so it must have been sometime in '95....wow
Oh hi

r00

I remember the first time I saw it was when it was released in '94. (I had already been turned on to Reservoir Dogs when some film major at school brought it over one night).  I was in college and myself and a couple of roommates went to see Star Trek: Generations at the movie theater.  When it ended, we decided to hop to another movie that was starting in a few minutes.  That move was Pulp Fiction and it blew my mind.  I remember how difficult it was to switch gears from a friggin' Star Trek movie to Tarantino too.  lol

A couple of weeks later, our local indie video rental place started carrying a Japanese import laserdisc of Pulp Fiction.  It seemed that there was some Miramax purchase of the right in Japan and it didn't violate copyright as long as it wasn't imported (legitimately) to the states.  We promptly rented the laserdisc and copied it to VHS.  Needless to say, we were the most popular students on the block for a while because we had an actual studio copy of Pulp Fiction at home when it was still showing at the cinema.  (I know it doesn't seem like a big deal in the age of bittorrent, but back then it was huge. haha)  I must have watched it 50 times in a single month because every person that stopped by wanted to get high and watch Pulp Fiction.   8-p

(as a sidenote, PF really hit the mark with the heroin scene that was resurging during that time period.  One of my roommates was into shooting H, and Tarantino nailed that whole scene and crowd.)

Yep it was.  Primarily getting to hear the 5.1 mix on the very best equipment (and also getting to sit in the sweet spot and have it all around and above me); but also getting to spend the day with Mr. G and his friends/colleagues, just hanging out; and I appreciated him making sure I was included in everything.

And you would be a very good son if you got your dad the Discovery box, kiddo. :)

I've never seen pulp fiction, or reservoir dogs. It's actually a drinking game in my house to sit around and discuss all the great and/or classic movies I haven't seen. :lol:

The new job is working out really well and they've managed to work with my availability enough to make me full time (35+ hours a week) which is pretty awesome considering I've had to quit my last 2 jobs due to be dicked on hours.

Aaron

For shame.


So the guy that said the world was gona end/Jesus was coming back May 21st. also said that October 21st was the new date... Dude has been wrong twice in a year. SO I guess Jesus is reallllllly late...

You and I might go toe-to-toe on that one - I've never been a movie watcher.
