One succinct line's right. Burton did it in the original Beetlejuice as well. The heart of the film ultimately boils down to Lydia becoming like a daughter to Adam and Barbara who were never able to have kids when they were alive.
If it was made now you can guarantee there'd be a load of exposition for the audience about it at the beginning. But just before the car crash Adam just simply says to Barbara "We can try again while we're on vacation".
Yes. Pulp Fiction's got some good moments but it's seriously hurt by two things. First, the continuity errors. All films have them of course but they seem to happen in Pulp Fiction at vital plot points - the bullet holes already in the wall behind Vincent and Jules before they're shot at, Butch's apartment building having two floors when he's observing across the street, then having an extra floor when he enters, Butch shooting Vincent in the chest but all the blood confined to his stomach, and his body somehow sitting in the bath in an pright position to the left of the door he flew back through, Marvin's skull being fully in tact despite having his brains blown out at close range.... and they just pull me right out of the film.
And second, Fabienne. I don't know if it's the writing or her performance but she's really annoying and she has 15 minutes of screen time right in the middle of the film waffling on about pot bellies and blueberry pancakes and it just kills the momentum for me.
Jackie Brown's his most mature film but I don't enjoy it as much, and on the whole I don't care for his post- 90's films. He's improved as a director as his budgets have increased but I think declined as a writer overall.
I like the simplicity of RD, there's no flab on it, and Mr. Pink remains my favourite Tarantino character.
I still want to see Mark Kermode and Martin Scorsese talk about The Exorcist.
It's Kermode's favourite film and he despises 2 with every fibre of his body while Scorsese, one of the most admired and acclaimed filmmakers of all time, likes the original but prefers the second.
I just want to see Kermode's reaction to that😂
The most smoking in an older film is probably the French film Breathless (1960). Characters in that are smoking cigarettes, cigars, and pipes, and the main character never stops smoking. Always using the butt of his cigarette to light a new one. And because French New Wave films used natural lighting and Jean-Luc Godard liked long takes, it make the smoke really stand out on the screen.
Even to this day, French films still have more more smoking than most others.
Keaton
Affleck - (I'm not even a fan but I liked his Batman. Should've got a solo film)
Bale - (But only in Begins. He was ridiculous in the sequels)
Pattinson
This fella explains it with a 13 minute rant much better than I possibly could with a post.

Beverly Hills Cop
I don't doubt it. He didn't play by anyone else's rules which is why no matter what role he played he never changed his Edinburgh accent and why he did unusual films and roles like Zardoz and Time Bandits.
I was just saying that the (I think Barbara Walters) interview where he said occasionally it's OK to hit a woman is the one thing that some people have attacked him with.
"Is it everything you expected?" Phoenix and Gaga are asked at 40 seconds in.

They just look at each other and smile. I don't know about Philips but Phoenix won't give a shit either way. Along with Gaga he got a share of the budget, and he's always being a critically acclaimed actor not a box-office A-lister.

Fake Irish accent? He didn't even attempt one apart from when he says "Jay-sus"😂
He has caught some because of his past comments about women.
Shitstain was your first insult well over an hour ago. Maybe you'll widen your range when you eventually leave your house😂
I missed a word out while getting distracted while you'll always be the Trump supporter who got upset about a Tom Cruise film😂
Cats (2019)
Just insane
Too foul mouthed for the Oscars.
Not even Ray Winstone in his shorts?😂
