Violent, vibrant, and endlessly quotable, Reservoir Dogs knocked me out and psyched
me up to see how Quentin Tarantino was going to top it, because if there was
one thing I could tell from that audacious debut, it was that the director was
just getting started. When word got out that Pulp Fiction was coming, I went into a state of hyper anticipation.
When I finally got to see it in autumn 1994, it infected me completely. My best
friend at the time and I didn’t just see the movie in the theater five times (which
is more times than I’ve ever seen any other film in the theater during its
first run); we wanted to be Jules and Vincent. Actually, I think we both wanted
to be Jules. He was just too fucking cool. Like a little Fonzie.
