Yes, you just heard me make a bold statement and I just did !!!!! That's because I mean it and when I mean it, I do MEAN it :D.... Generally, I take some time thanks to my laziness to jot down a review, as you can see that I wrote about pulp fiction 4 years later. lol. But I couldn't hold back this time, the world needed to know and I needed to pass it on. I have my selfish reasons too, because I am so fed up with the current movies, being a movie addict ain't a good thing, lemme tell u that. So when I saw a refreshingly funny movie like ' Hangover' , I couldn't hold on to my balls anymore.
Darn it, I still have a hangover from the movie. It is different than a classic hangover in the sense that, the next day over when you wake up, you want more of the movie, unlike the classic hangover :D. It's a different thing though, that you end up having more of it, in either case. Before you start accusing me of creating too much hype about the movie, all I can say is, ' experience it yourself' and well you must have already seen the trailers, so you know what to expect ;)
The last funny movie I had seen was ' Tropic-Thunder' and it needed a herculean effort from Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey and Tom Cruise to make a classic like that, this one needed just 4 virtually unknown guys, a trip to Las Vegas for a bachelor party and a Hangover. The best part about the movie was it had a PLOT, yes you heard me, not those insanely unbelievable plots of the present day movies, but the age old classic- 'road trip to Las vegas for a bachelor party' plot, just more insanely written dialogues, direction, more fun and action !!! :D ....
I hate to dwell too much into the details of the movie, but it has everything one expects in a movie, to laugh. Also, for the sensitive people out there, don't blame me later for not telling you, because the boards in the movies display it loud and clear - 'R' rated movie, not that I care. And before I forget, 'Mike TYson' yes the Mike Mike Tyson , makes a special appearance in the movie with his tiger ;). Also the biggest star of the movie Alan Garner ( Zach Galifianakis) , gives you several tips on how to win 80 Grand in blackjack in Vegas, not once, but twice :D. Also the beautiful and hot, though turning old now, Heather Graham makes a comeback in this movie, in a very small role of a Hooker, ooops I meant a stripper , ooops, I meant an Escort :D.
So I don't wanna keep you bored here, it's high time you go to the theaters and witness the classic, that is ' The Hangover' . And please pay attention to every dialogue in the movie, because the more you pay attention to those details, the more you can laugh your asses off !!! Wait !! I heard someone say ' hangover 2' is on its way, but you know, what we say about sequels, don't u, well let's not worry about that for now, go have a Hangover !!!! :D

The Pulp Fiction story-My Obsession with movies!!
So there are moments which change your life, moments you look back on your death bed, moments that will flash when you are breathing your last, well this is one such instance. It dates back to about 2 years from now. I was a normal kid, used to watch 'em damn movies like the Mummy, The Terminator, The Matrix, Speed, Rush hour, Mr and Mrs Smith, Jurassic Park, Titanic, etc, those which appealed to the common man and which were highly publicized and totally commercial in nature. I was not obsessed with movies, hell, I found 'em boring, except for those movies with cool graphics or you know boning scenes :D. It was all cool then.
Then one fine afternoon I saw this list of IMdb's ''Top 250 movies'' on my friends laptop and realized I haven't seen a 10th of them. High up on the list was a funny looking name, which made no fuckin' sense at all. PULP FICTION was its name. And I wished for the rest of my life, I never saw that name that day, as it changed my whole life. See. I sound melodramatic, like those people in movies, don't I. See that's why I keep blaming that day.
The moment I saw that name, I heard an internal voice, sounding excited, stimulated by that friggin' name and made me get a DVD immediately. Unable to resist the temptation, I gave in and lo the movie started playing and what's the first thing I see? Something like this "pulp /'p&lp/ n. 1. A soft, moist, shapeless mass of matter.
2. A magazine or book containing lurid subject matter and being characteristically printed on rough, unfinished paper. ". and I was like what ?? and then immediately we see 2 funny looking people, esp Honey-bunny, talking about robbing a restaurant. Yup, you heard me. Her cussing is enough to get you scared, forget all the funny things about her. Next up, 2 weird looking guys in tuxedos, one with hair like a Jheri curl joker, talking about Burgers, pilots and foot massages with pistols in their hands and then shoot people coldly amidst weird conversations about burgers and hell lot of cussing :D !!! and then Butch appears........ and rest as they say is history !!!!
And the next 2 hours were the best 2 hours spent of my life, the best roller coaster ride I have ever been on and Mind you, I did not follow anything. Great analysis and watching the movie over and over again, in the next few weeks, made things somewhat clear, but let me tell you no movie that I have ever seen in my entire life, was anything like this and will never be, because the next 2 years and about 1000 films old, I am still desperate, angry and willing to do anything to see a movie like this again. That day started my obsession with movies, I should say obsession with Pulp fiction, obsession to find a movie halfway close to this one. No movie ever came close to it and I am gettin tired now, guess the only solution is to keep watching this movie again and again, or writing articles like these or even better try making a movie like this again, which would fail badly, that explains why there is no Pulp Fiction Jr. Kill Bill came close, mind you, like 5 % close, but the difference is it had a plot, you see, thats the difference !!!!!
What is so different about this movie? Well, everything. For starters, there is no plot in this movie and this movie doesn't make sense, hell you will say aren't there millions of movies out there like that, well, this is different in the following sense. A movie like this can come out only when you put together the acumen of Tarantino, Cold chilly looks/dialogues of Samuel L Jackson, 'never-say-die' attitude of Uma Thurman, bullheadedness of Trovolta, a chicken like Tim Roth, total weirdness of Amanda Plummer (Honey-Bunny), Innocence and naiveness of Maria de Medeiros ( Fabienne), a stoned up complete bitch like Rosanna Arquette, a totally serious Harvey Kietel, The so called puppet Bruce Willis and the so called Don called Ving Rhames. See, you gte my point now, see how it is different from those other movies without a plot ?
The movie has no fuckin' genre. Comedy set against the backdrop of violence and yet is so totally serious, when there is hilariousness enclosed in every scene. The movie talks about the emptiness in the lives of the above characters, how everyone gets excited at the smallest of the most insignificant things, forgetting the big picture, quite easily. Things like, 'It’s not a motorcycle baby, it’s a chopper' or 'No No, they didn't have blueberry pancakes, I had to get buttermilk' ,when the most important things like death, injury,blood, etc are forgotten so easily . Let me not dig too deep now, I am tired of doing that now, I leave that to you, its your headache now.
With lines like these and acts like the ones above, this is a movie which is the only one if its kind and a repetition if which is not possible and would drastically fail. These are some of my favorite lines. Click here for a list of my fav lines/passages from this movie, from my other article about this movie.
'I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that'.
'Check out the big brain on Brett! You're a smart motherfucker'.
'That was pretty fucking trippy... heaaghhhh..haaahhaaahhaaa..'
'But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the dead nigger in my garage'.
'You know, touchin' his wife's feet, and stickin' your tongue in her Holiest of Holies, ain't the same fuckin' ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same fuckin' sport'.
'All right, everybody be cool, this is a robbery! Any of you fucking pricks move, and I'll execute every motherfucking last one of ya'!
So that day started my obsession and the day when I went into the dark lanes of 'finding a movie like Pulp Fiction' and hence became a movie addict. I am deep down this hole now, far from being rescued. My obsession is real bad, right now, ranging anywhere from 5-10 movies a week. I analyze movies, reserch 'em, critic 'em. Hell no I have no plans of becoming a director, but just hope to find a movie like Pulp Fiction again, which I know I never will. So I am caught in a vicious circle here and I know it and still can't get out of it. God, Please god !! give me salvation, show me a movie like Pulp Fiction, free me from this deadly world of movies. Please god, help me !!!! Please take me back to those wonderful days when I watched movies to see some cool graphics or someone boning. Please take me back when the world was still a good place to live in, those days when I wanted to spend my time fighting with real people, instead of trying to find a movie like Pulp Fiction. Darn I sound like 'em movie guys, don't I ? sheeeeshhh
That was pretty fuckin trippppppppppyyy.... hhahahahahhahaaha
