The bit about Pulp Fiction is one of Steve's sillier comments. Tarantino's use of a jumbled time scheme is brilliant, and Travolta, good though he is in that film, doesn't carry it by any means.

My favorite part is when Bruce Willis is talking to his girlfriend in bed for twenty minutes. Riveting.

Kiss, Kiss, Big Bang, Big Bang?

Judging by the trailer, that would be an improvement.

Perfect metaphor of how Italians manage to mess everything up but still manage to make things work somehow.

In Pulp Fiction it's important for Travolta's death to come when it does in the movie for two major reasons:

1) When Sam Jackson makes a choice to give up the criminal life at the end of the movie and Travolta doesn't, we know that he's now on a path leading to his death.

2) In the first and third sections of the movie, Travolta's character thinks he's the star. But the middle part suggests that he's just an extra in someone else's story. That gets to the heart of what Tarantino is usually making movies about: the idea that people nowadays build their identities out of pop culture junk - seeing themselves as heroes of a crime movie or a war story, etc.

Cannes showed Hitchcock's "Notorious" out of order in '46. I go to film festivals in America and the projection problems are disheartening - far worse, it seems, than experienced in most professional theatres. The average projectionist at a film festival is a mere kid who is handed a sheet of instructions on how to turn off and on the extremely cheap DVD player/digi projector, and a stack of scratched, neglected, and sloppily organized DVDs. Good luck if you're a viewer or filmmaker.
