The most impressive thing about Denis Villeneuve's Dune might be the way it makes a complex story understandable without dumbing it down.
When Bunk confronts Omar on The Wire, their argument is the perfect example of a scene that works on all 3 storytelling levels. Jules and Vincent execute the briefcase thieves. One thief tries to ambush Jules and Vincent; Jules and Vincent kill him instead. Jules is convinced he and Vincent have been blessed by a miracle.
While leaving the scene of the briefcase incident, Vincent accidentally kills Marvin. Jules and Vincent go to a diner. Pumpkin and Honey Bunny hold up the diner. Jules, Pumpkin, Honey Bunny, and Vincent have a standoff. Jules, who wants to leave killing behind, lets Pumpkin and Honey Bunny go. Jules and Vincent exit the diner. Vincent insults Butch. Vincent buys drugs from Lance. Vincent gets high. Vincent and Mia flirt, dance, and go home together.
Esmeralda hears Butch killed his opponent in the ring, double-crossing Marsellus. Esmeralda picks Butch up in her cab and drives him to a motel to meet his girlfriend Fabienne. Butch and Fabienne have sex. Butch gets his watch and kills Vincent, who was waiting for him. Butch and Marsellus wake up in a redneck sex dungeon run by Maynard and Zedd. Maynard and Zedd sexually assault Marsellus while Butch escapes. Butch goes back and kills Maynard and critically wounds Zedd to free Marsellus.
I offered him something to eat, and he ate a lot. Did you live in a tough-guy neighborhood growing up? Meanwhile, Hollywood is calling Tarantino about his future. On Reservoir Dogs we never had a production meeting. It was kept pure. No producer ever monkeyed around with the script. The project was Pulp Fiction, three intertwined crime stories set in Los Angeles. She introduced Tarantino to DeVito. Tarantino, however, insists that he went to Amsterdam strictly to write.
Through luck and happenstance, I found an apartment to rent right off a canal. I would get up and walk around Amsterdam, and then drink like 12 cups of coffee, spending my entire morning writing. He had filled several notebooks by the time of the Cannes Film Festival, where Reservoir Dogs was screened at midnight, out of competition. It had already caught the attention of Harvey and Bob Weinstein, who would distribute it as a Miramax movie. But that was only a launching pad, around which Tarantino created the script.
All that was a lifetime ago. Just after midnight on January 13, , Avary, by then an established writer and director in his own right Killing Zoe, Beowulf , lost control of his Mercedes and crashed into a telephone pole. Pleading guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, Avary was sentenced to a year. Today, he says, he is at peace with his collaborator and his credit.
That is enough. And I love Quentin. DeVito had a first-look deal with TriStar. The audience thought it was funny, and it did not get the blowback I thought it would get. It went through Richard Gladstein, who was now at Miramax. He lugged the script to the plane, however. Does it stay this good? He called again an hour later, having read to the point where the main character, the hit man Vincent Vega, is shot and killed.
Disney may have seemed an unlikely match for Pulp Fiction, but Weinstein had the final say. Your bathroom has this kind of tile, and da-da-da-da. The reason I know this is, this is the apartment that I lived in when I first moved to Hollywood.
They talked until sunrise. Tarantino told him he had two films in mind for him. But Madsen had already accepted a part in Wyatt Earp, so Tarantino called Travolta and said the part was his. Would his playing of Vincent Vega spawn a battalion of heroin-addicted hit men?
Do I really want to shoot up and kill people? Next, Travolta consulted his agent, his friends, and his wife, Kelly Preston. Everyone except Harvey Weinstein, who wanted anyone but Travolta.
Keitel invited Willis to a barbecue at his home, saying that Tarantino would be there. The superstar arrived, and, one insider insists, he wanted the leading role, Vincent Vega.
Let me sleep on it. Willis recalls the deal more diplomatically, saying that when he was offered the role he immediately said yes. Except for Harvey Weinstein. Reservoir Dogs did fantastic internationally, so everyone was waiting for my new movie. And then when it was my new movie with Bruce Willis, they went apeshit.
But Tarantino had decided on Uma Thurman. Neither can I, in hindsight. Samuel L. Jackson had to fight for his role as Jules Winnfield, the Bible-quoting hit man. After their session together, Jackson returned confidently to filming Fresh, another movie produced by Lawrence Bender, only to learn that he was in danger of losing the role to the Puerto Rican actor Paul Calderon.
Weinstein urged Jackson to fly immediately to L. He was also hungry, so he bought a take-out burger on his way to the studio, only to find nobody there to greet him. I was kind of like, Fuck it. I was scared shitless. I thought that this guy was going to shoot a gun right through my head. His eyes were popping out of his head. Jules and the bartender are exchanging amusing looks with reference to Vincent's evening assignment. He is to escort Marsellus' wife, Mia, out for the evening.
Vincent and Jules have talked about this before, while they were waiting to burst into the apartment on their hit.
Vincent is dressed for the evening with a trenchcoat over a black suit. He goes to his drug dealer's house and buys heroin. The dealer puts it in a baggie. Vincent shoots up, and then leaves for his evening with Mia. Mia awaits Vincent with surveillance cameras. While he waits for her, she snorts coke and then makes her appearance. They go a bizarre retro 50's club. They eat, talk, and enter a dance contest, which they win. Back at Mia's house, Vincent goes to the bathroom to try and figure out how he can leave without getting into trouble.
While he is in the bathroom, Mia sings and dances around the room. She finds the heroin in Vincent's pocket, and thinking it is coke, snorts. She OD's and Vincent rushes her to his drug dealer Lance 's house in hopes of getting help. With a giant hypodermic needle full of adrenaline, Mia is revived.
Vincent takes her home, and they both agree that Marsellus never need know of the events of the evening. Flashback sequence to the story of Butch and his father's watch and its travels as told by Butch's father's friend and fellow POW, Captain Koons.
We return to the present, and Butch jumps up, ready for his fight.. However, instead of throwing the fight, he KO's his opponent, and kills him. He jumps into a cab and goes to the motel where his girlfriend is waiting.
They make love and go to sleep.
