How Much Pulp Can You Squeeze Out of This Movie

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2005)

Pulp Fiction is one of those brilliant type of films that you truly discover more and more each time you watch it. Like a kid in a candy store, there are more treats than one can handle in a single viewing. This is evidenced by the recent string of posts on the Pulp Fiction board entitled "500 Things You've Noticed About Pulp Fiction." Not too many movies have so many things going for it.
This is truly a movie that defined a generation. After Pulp, a string of films came out that attempted to recapture the magic of Pulp: 2 Days in the Valley, Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead, Go., and many more. Each of these movies had something going for it; but each movie seemed to only bring to the table one of the many elements that made pulp so rich, whether it be the non-linear storytelling, witty dialogue with pop-culture reference, hipper-than-thou characters, or absurd, out-of-nowhere plot twists. Pulp, however, had the whole package in one movie.
