Good review sans the Oldman cringe statement. This was Oldman at his best.

On the rewatch I was blown away that Val was listed second behind Slater and then to witness the cast of characters. Best ensemble ever, IMO.

Val was an afterthought.

Top 5 movie for me. Pretty much every scene is incredible.

Seems like it was way under the radar for quite a long time, which is odd considering how great of a movie it is, the cast, the director, and the screenwriter. Not sure why?

Little known fact:

Drexl in True Romance uses the phrase: "From a diddled-eyed Joe, to a damned if I know". In which other Tarantino film is the same phrase used and by whom?
Mr Orange's mentor in Reservoir Dogs.

Man, you guys really are sticking with Gary Oldman's character.
I thought it was easily the worst part of an otherwise really good (not great) movie.

As someone who came in cold, knew nothing about the plot, characters or actors, but knows most of Gary Oldman's work, it was really weird seeing his interpretation of a gangster. It really kind of put me off for the whole first part of the movie. Was it a parody like I'm gonna get you sucker? Was he serious about that? I'm going to have to rewatch because on first watch, it was terrible.

ETA This was the vibe I got: (Can't inbed a video with a time skip in the link, so skip to 1:05)

Had never heard of this and watched it last night. Fun show. Amazing how many stars were cast even in the smallest of supporting roles.

MOAR Trivia:

During the theme park cocaine negation with Pinchot, Clarence uses a ‘so do I look like a bitch with bigs tits? So you wanna frick me?’ dialogue.

Very close dialogue is also used in the Pulp Fiction, Big Kahuna burger scene.

Tarantino has so many Easter eggs.

was coming to this thread to post exactly this

One of the funniest lines in movie history. was that improvised? Sizemore’s laugh seems genuine in that scene
