  • Vanity Fair - The Making of Pulp Fiction

    Lengthy, but interesting article on the 1994 classic:

    He has said that his first drafts look like "the diaries of a madman,- but Chen says they're even worse. "His handwriting is atrocious. He's a functional illiterate. I was averaging about 9,000 grammatical errors per page. After I would correct them, he would try to put back the errors, because he liked them.-

      From Keitel:

      "Of course, people say, 'Oh, so-and-so would have made [RESERVOIR DOGS] anyway.' That's almost like saying the world is fair, and the cream will rise to the top. That's bullsh!t.-

      And my delusion that I'm a good writer continues.

          Best part for me was when he basically told Matt Damon to f**k off after he wanted time to think about taking up an offered role. Everyone else read the script once and wanted in.

          Regardless of how you feel about Tarantino, you cant deny that this film was way ahead of it`s time. It is a classic in every sense IMO

            That was Matt Dillon.

            But yes--thanks for the read. Great stuff.

              Good article. Reminded me of the recent article detailing the genesis of Good Will Hunting, and all of the little miracles that have to occur to get a movie made.

              Of course the one thing in common was both were great scripts that made everyone want to make the movie.

              Getting around this "gotta have a great script" requirement is going to be harder than I thought. Hm.

                  the first time I saw Pulp Fiction at the Mann's Chinese theater I thought it was good - not great. It was a lot of Tarantino jerking himself off.. Which I witnessed in Dogs and True Romance.

                  After years of catching it on cable I learned to love it. Even though I still wouldn't say it's a great film. But it's the kind of movie that I can watch a little or all of it, whenever I see it on tv.

                  But most importantly, with that film in my IMO, Tarantino did what the Sex Pistols did for rock and roll in the late 70s. He shook it up... It was different and we needed different.

                    The third writer-director who was going to contribute a segment was Adam Rifkin, and Roger Avary's segment (Bruce Willis) began as a feature length screenplay that QT trimmed down.

                    I have held the Oscar for this script.
