It's a gimmick movie, just like forest gump.

If you took all the scenes and put them in chronological order, it's an average film.

ACK!

hmm I just noticed one of my favourite movies was supposed to be directed by George Lucas.

Can anyone imagine Apocalypse Now directed by George Lucas?

oh, and Apocalypse now (it appears to be the redux version) is on AMC right now. I'm not sure how much the tv version cuts out. I should watch the movie version.

Perhaps, but the film is presented to us backwards, and as such it works superlatively. Only some films are absolutely truly linear. Playing with narrative construction isn't gimmicky - it's a tradition.

It's not presented backwards. It's presented at the extremes.

Color runs backwards and B & W runs forwards, they meet at the middle of the story.

I didn't like Pulp Fiction either.....the first time I saw it, there was no continuity. I have come to appreciate it, however.

The thing that amazes me is that Samuel L. gets a rep for being a bad mutha****** from that film.

Ving Rhames is a badder mutha****** in that movie IMHO.

nobody talks about that though.

ACK!

Speaking of Pulp Fiction did Quentin Tarrantino edit the version currently out on Video and DVD? I dsitinclty remember that when I saw the film at the theater John Travolta says the line "I'm going to have to get medieval on your buttocks" early in the movie, when he and Samuel Jackson are in the kids' apartment retrieving the item stolen from the boss. In the movie the item retrieved is eventually shown, and it's some silly trinket. In the DVD the item retrieved is never seen. Has anyone else noticed this? Actually I liked the DVD better than the movie.

No, Ving Rahmes says it to Zed the Rapist.

Which is why he is a bad mutha******.

ACK!

, John Travolta never said that! I have seen the movie in the theaters as well. I would have remember that. It's said by Ving Rhames as Tub said. And it's one of the more memorable lines of the movie. and he doesn't use the word buttocks.

The item in the briefcase is, and has never been, revealed. It's a McGuffin, see.

I saw Master and Commander on HBO yesterday. This is the second time I have seen the movie. I must say, that my "expectations" ruined my first viewing of the film. I was not prepared for such a nuanced movie, but was instead looking more for the Error Flynn approach to sea epics.

But, after seeing the film for a second time, I began to appreciated it much more. It is a very, very good film.

BTW, has any here seen Gregory Peck in Moby Dick? That was another classic.

It's understated nature is what makes it so excellent - and I too liked it more the second time around. (Probably because I was a little frustrated trying to follow the 'accented' english dialogue when I saw it the first time.)

It'll be one of those movies that will grow on me with each viewing.

I love master and commander. Of course I love the navy, so that may be why. Although this is the British navy. But they weren't pansies back then . JK of course.
