Pulp Fiction (1994) - Siskel & Ebert "At The Movies" - "The Tarantino Generation"

Interesting how Quentin has basically fulfilled what Siskel says at the end of this video. When he appears on talk shows or podcasts, he's always talking about films.

This truly is a time capsule. I'm 26 and remember the last few years of analog TV that you could tape onto your video cassette. I remember the feel and vibe it gave off to my young impressionable mind. This clip is obviously before my life but I was still able to experience the last few years of this. Gen Alpha and beyond will never understand, which is sad.

What people don't understand is just because everybody loved it doesn't mean it was good.
Having said that, I loved this movie lol! But my generation was set in a direction that we were not ready for.
Tarantino upped the ante, and human beings have become more desensitized to violence and behavior ever since...And that's not good.

The screen shots of those old websites are adorable.

Here post-/during The Ringer’s mammoth Rewatchables episode haha

Film is art, human expression. There are no rules. If you don’t like violence in movies, don’t watch.

These guys are fucking idiots. Their review of reservoir dogs is ridiculous, they have a problem with "too much dialogue"

Boy oh boy. From 6:42 forward. What they say Pulp Fiction did in the nineties is so so so so so so so soooooooooooooo much needed now that it's almost unbelievable. The Western ideologically stalled movie industry is now in so much need of some movie that shows exactly what they say here. Maybe I will live yet to see it. And yeah, I know in today's media biased influencers would automatically call a movie like that childish and instead in the "review" focus on phrasing it in a way to keep depreciating and criticizing the loving-it fanbase but I don't care. That's just the current standard. The dog's gonna bark one way or the other.

And they couldn't imagine the achievement of Jackie Brown three years later😆
Tarantino was something unbelievable. He came from nothing and thanks to his knowledge about cinema and talent he rose up faster than any filmmaker on that time. But what everybody should know is he was trying to make a movie since 1985, and he failed on his first attempt: My Best Friend's Birthday

I was 14 years old when I saw this in the theater. Me and some buddies on an out of state church trip went to the movie theater and we bought tickets to see the movie Major Pain and then we snuck in to Pulp Fiction, wow, to this day, favorite movie ever!!

8:22 much of Sam Jackson’s dialogue is censored here for broadcast tv, but NOT the n word. Things have changed since ‘94.

Roger Ebert lost is Jaw and Voice to Cancer, But This is how I will always Remember him and Gene Siskel 2 Men who taught me how to review just by watching them since 1984. FYI 1994 was Generation Next, Most of Generation X were already in our Adulthood, It's why Roger is Grey 10 years had Past since Their Splash Review. I actually do what Gene Siskel did in the Fact That I Compare Reviewers today with Siskel and Ebert, Leonard Maltin, and The Rated K Gang, In the fact that they would review Multiple Films and Now reviewers are reviewing 1 Film at a time. It's time for another Psycho, Bonnie and Clyde, Clockwork Orange, And Pulp Fiction. Because The Film industry is again becoming as Gene Said Tired and Bloated. It's time to Reinvent the Royale Au, Fromage. I think the Newest Shaker might just be Napoleon Directed by Ridley Scott. Wow IMDb in it's Infancy.

Yeah,this Tarantino guy isn't going to last.

10:05 good Lord! I remember when websites looked like that.
also, 30yrs later and we still don't know what was in the case.

2:05 too much too soon makes it sound like young directors should strive for mediocrity. start out by making an intentionally "just ok" movie.

While Tarantino was shaking up the movie bizz in America, we also had Krzysztof Kieślowski here in Europe doing his thing. Anyone who frequented film festivals from '93-'95 remembers the acclaim around his "Three Colors" trilogy.

Along with Scorsese, in the 90s these guys made edgy, artsy, exciting and energised movies that made others seem like uninspired fluff in comparison. There hasn't really been a cinema renaissance like it since, unfortunately.

Thank you for this!
