problem with the dialogue
in pulp fiction, reservoir dogs and even kill bill to an extent the dialogue was funny and a little bit quicker and tighter then how normal people talk but still it did sound very natural. the way real people talk, just a but funnier. Think of Travolta and Jackson talking about pigs and personality in Pulp Fiction. but in this film, and it's not that there woman, but there is nothing even remotely natural about the way they talk. with every sentence it seems like the girls are just trying to beat you over the head with how goddamn sassy they are. That gets old fast. And conversations just go on and on. Every book you read about writing screenplays always says you use dialogue as little as possible. Obviously that is not Tarantiono's style but at a certain point it gets ridiculous. Think about the scene where Julia talks about the lap dance thing with Butterfly. Tarantiono uses like 200 words when maybe 50 would work. and the whole time Julia is talking she keeps swaying her head back and forth cause Damn she is just so sassy. This is actually the only film I ever walked out on. after being very disappointed by planet terror, and then death proof came on and the girls started with these long ass conversations, I just couldn't take it anymore. So I left and went to a party and got trashed. it was the right decision. eventully I watched the whole movie, and I do like the lap dance scene but other then that it was pretty disappointing. Though it does make me want nachos. anyone agree.
