[@frankiegumdrops8532]

Pulp Fiction is the definition of “rewatchable”

[@BasketBoyHoops]

Regarding the timeline of events and how many days passed in Pulp Fiction: #1 (Let's assume Monday) - Vincent goes through the apartment hit with Jules (~7:22AM), the mishap with Marvin + cleanup with the Wolf (Bonnie is home by 9:30AM), the breakfast diner holdup, and then the meetup with Marsellus/brush up with Butch before noon (right before Paul Calderon opens the door for Jules and Vincent, there's a sign that states the bar is open from noon - 2 am 7 days a week, making it likely that this meeting is occurring before the establishment is open at noon). Paul the Bartender states that he heard Vincent is "taking out Mia tomorrow", so let's assume segment #2 is Tuesday. #2 - The next time we see Vincent, he is in a new outfit, buying heroin from Lance the heroin dealer. He purchases, shoots up, and is seen that night going about the whole Mia date/OD fiasco in the same outfit. #3 - Next instance we see Vincent is him and Paul the bartender meeting Marsellus in the underbelly of the arena where Butch just won the boxing match and left (worth noting there's a poster to Marsellus' right that states the match is taking place on a Thursday night). Marsellus wants to "scour the earth" for Butch, so let's assume Vincent went to Butch's apartment that night and waited for Butch to come home, at Marsellus' request. #4 - The last appearance of Vincent is the next day (Friday morning) when Butch comes back for his watch, puts in the "poptarts" for breakfast, and kills Vincent coming out of Butch's bathroom (Vincent wearing the same hitman suit and tie he was wearing at the arena the night before) My best guess is this movie takes place over 5 days (Monday to Friday). Monday is everything before heroin, Tuesday is heroin/Mia, Thursday is the boxing match (explains Mia's recovery and her "I never thanked you for dinner" remark) and Friday morning is Butch getting the watch/killing Vincent. The only "confirmed" date is Thursday's boxing match, which means everything before the boxing match could've happened at any point during the week, and the conclusion of the movie happened on a Friday morning. (Funny little detail - The book VIncent is reading on the toilet during the Hawthorne Grill robbery on Monday morning is the same book he was reading in Butch's bathroom Friday morning. Guy leaves his Uzi on the counter but brings that damn novel to the john and ends up dying because of it) Love this movie, love the pod.

[@somedangoutlaw8088]

I’ve been declaring 1993-1995 as the apex of western music, film and culture for over a decade. I was 9-11 years old so I wasn’t really there. It just was our peak.

[@djstarsign]

In terms of pop culture, it was definitely a high time. The Soviet Union had collapsed, Germany had reunified, the economy was rebounding and there was a sense of possibility in the air. The underground of the 1980s had bubbled overground to where it had permeated the mainstream. All of a sudden, REM became one of the biggest bands in the world (which I don’t think anyone could have predicted in the 80s). Artists like Nine Inch Nails, Bjork, and even Dinosaur Jr and Sonic Youth were getting decent airplay on MTV (which had moved on from its hair metal past and was embracing the alternative cool of grunge, power pop, and even electronic music… to some extent). The Telecommunications Act of 1996, file sharing culture, fragmentation of social media, and replacement of alternative individualism with group think conformity put an end to the magical, artistically diverse and popular 90s. There were some stinkers as well, but it was balanced with creative expression and a more connected sense of culture. Then September 11th happened and it felt like the final blow to the optimistic, carefree, try anything, do anything, nonconformist attitude of the 1990s.

[@75aces97]

I don't know about apex, but it was a pretty good period. That happened to be end of hs, early college for me, so I guess I was "really there" 😅😊. Music happened to be particularly good from about 1991-97, I thought. 1994 and 1997 were each great years for film IMO.

Great retrospective on Pulp Fiction. Two points: the correct answer was Cruise as Ringo. And point # 2, it would have been great if you discussed how butch goes on a murder spree within 12 hours, especially since he said he never killed anyone and does it with such ease

[@75aces97]

The beauty of this is, we don't know for sure whether he's ever killed anyone before. We have some idea of what makes him tick, but we don't get too much. We do know that he kills the first 5 guys he has to interact with, or tries to, so...? I suspect if this story were made now it would be a miniseries where we'd get his whole backstory because since 2000 every interesting character has to get a prequel with foreshadowing events. Heaven forbid we get any unanswered mystery about their motivations.

[@falstaffinfection]

Oh man. Sophomore in college, went to a sneak preview on Thursday night as a third wheel with a couple where I was friends with both before they got together. Was an HBO kid and loved movies and knew Travolta was going to be in a movie that had real 70's throwback vibes from the commercials. Learned the movie we were seeing was from the same guy who did Reservoir Dogs (which blew my mind watching on VHS the year before). The moment when we got to the syringe scene... I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A few days later, working at a pizza joint, a buddy says, "Man, I just saw this movie..." I interrupted. Was it Pulp Fiction! Unreal. I was perfect age for the mid 80's run of excellence, but that night is burned in my mind forever.

People think Vincent is stupid for leaving the uzi on the kitchen counter, but it's not his. It's Marcellus Wallaces gun. That's why Butch sees him when he's driving away from his apartment. Wallace is carrying coffee and doughnuts, breakfast for Vincent and himself. The reason Wallace is working with Vincent is because Jules has quit.

[@angelameraz2885]

Yes! I came here to say that. That's also why Vincent didn't react to the noise Butch was making when he decided to get the pop tarts. Also the reason why Marcellus was with Vincent in the first place was because Jules quit recently.

[@robertwiles8106]

Pulp Fiction takes place no earlier than 1993 and you can tie the movie to the year almost immediately. When Jules and Vincent have gotten the firearms out of the trunk and are walking toward Brett and Flock of Seagulls' apartment, a "new design" 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee drives down the street behind them. The Grand Cherokee re-design had JUST happened circa 1993 and was a pretty radical alteration in its iconic look.

[@75aces97]

Hadn't thought of that specifically, but I remember during its theatrical run there were conversations suggesting it took place in an unspecified past era. I thought there were props indicating something off (e.g. Fruit Brute box), but otherwise I thought it was completely contemporary. People obsessed with pop culture artifacts of the 60s-70s didn't feel at all out of place in 1994. 😊

[@twicket5]

One of the best pockets of time for movies and living in Los Angeles then was magical. There was an energy of excitement and possibility. I saw Pulp opening day and loved it so much I’d dragged friends later that day. Side note. Yes coffee grinders were everywhere then in Los Angeles.

What does that change regarding the plot of the movie or how we watch It?

[@roykentseyebrows4196]

@@MrOctober44 Because even with the Walken scene, I could never quite buy that Butch would risk his life for the watch. But if it's not for himself, but rather wanting to give this heirloom to his unborn child? A future parent would do ANYTHING for their child. Also, the scene where all the stories meet is when Butch returns to his apartment. The Jules/ Vince storyline has lead to Vince being by himself in the apartment, because earlier in the day, Jules had quit. You can read this all as Ezekiel 25:17, as the righteous man (Butch) is beset by the tyranny of evil men (Vince) and is saved because the Shepard (Jules) left, and there's only one hitman instead of two waiting for him.

Cruise could have played😊 Butch. The original script that floated around at the time suggested that Butch wasn't old, but past the point of becoming a star in the sport. He still wore his old high school varsity jacket. He was a fading boxer still clinging to the dreams of his youth. In the same script Marcellus tells him that his best chance at the belt was behind him and "even if you had, you'd be super featherweight champion? I doubt you could get a credit card based on that." In the scene where Butch says to himself that they keep underestimating him, it makes more sense with a visibly younger, smaller actor like Cruise. You wouldn't think they'd underestimate John Mcclane or Joe Hollenbeck era Bruce Willis. 😉

Marcellus Wallace was with Vincent at Butch's apartment and left to get donuts and two coffees. Why else would he be around the corner from Butch's apartment?

EXACTLY. I was very disappointed that this was missed by The Ringer. It’s not Vincent’s gun on the counter at all.

Maybe he REALLY likes the teriyaki donuts 😋

I'd thought of that too about Winston Wolf the first time or two i saw it. I.e. what's so special about ""the Wolf" that even Jules knows of him as an ace fixer? "Clean up the car" doesn't ring out as some brilliant plan. Later on it hit me that what he does is so simple, but it's the exact fix that movie gangsters need. He thinks of minor details that can get a guy into trouble. Clean up blood and guts to avoid detection attention. Note faulty brake lights or exhaust to avoid detection by passing patrol car. Cover stains with dark cloth so that an interceding officer doesn't see blood. Dispose of tainted car at friendly car neighborhood crusher. If you have slobs like Vince on your payroll, who make messes they cant clean up, you need fixers like Wolf. 😊

Regarding Jules’s jheri curl, I was at an advanced screening of the movie with Tarantino introducing the film and doing a Q&A after. One of my friends actually brought up how much the N word was used and it was hilarious to see Tarantino get a little squirmy as he tried to explain the rationale behind it and mentioned something about Marcellus being the root of everything. He was on the spot and gave a bit of a non-answer, which was pretty funny. He talked about there being several different choices for the wig including different afros, but when they saw the weird afro/jheri curl hybrid, he thought it was so bad that they had to try it just to get a laugh and after, none of the other choices even came close. This was coming from the man himself, which trumps the story about a PA not knowing what an afro was and getting the Jheri curl instead.
