Also, what do they call a Whopper in Paris?
Agree whole-heartedly! They call it a Royale with cheese! What do they call a big mac?

Picked this up locally for pennys locally was quite chuffed. My first DTS title, and just in time for my new 5.1 set up. I remember enjoying it when it first came out, remember it had a mad max feel. What better way to see if it still holds up than on Laserdisd right?

Also another thing I feel is that they were great pre internet, you didn't know of some things or only if you were able to afford to travel to know that they call it a royale with cheese.
Remember having my first pomme frites when I was in Canada at around 14 or 16 and others when I came back never heard of such a thing.
So I guess its that type of exposure thing, how old you were when you saw it and what else you were exposed to before or after. Yep. The same thing goes for The Matrix. If you saw the movies these things cribbed from first...honestly it’s kind of hard to sit through the million dollar ripoffs.

Very true. I personally cannot stand Reservoir Dogs, yer man even stole the line 'Let's go to work' from City On Fire. These days we call it Cultural Appropriation. Like when you have a character talk about how cool Sonny Chiba is way before most Americans knew who he was...it sounds like reverence and worldliness in the moment but decades later it may seem more like he just isn’t a guy with a lot of ideas.

Very true. I personally cannot stand Reservoir Dogs, yer man even stole the line 'Let's go to work' from City On Fire. Unlike. It was a shock to the system when I finally saw and taped City on Fire from SBS TV circa 1996. Sure, he stole the f***ing plot and even a few lines but still, still. You got that Tarantino dialogue that wasn't too contrived then, you got the great actors, you got the style, the suits. I think RD is still an achievement and stiill a movie that changed movies for me. I went off Tarantino with Dirty Thirteen but Hateful 8 was worthy (although not as good as the new Tarantino, Zahler with Bone Tomahawk) and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was so good, even though I hate that little kid in a man's body he keeps casting. Seeing Mansonite hippy abuse was too good. I hate hippies. Never trust a hippy.

Also for what it's worth, I really like Reservoir Dogs as well; I think it was the movie that made me realize that film is an art, not just entertainment. I've yet to watch City on Fire though, I'll have to track down a copy for my viewing pleasure.

forper wrote: :lol: Wow, Woody and Tim Allen couldn't be more different. I never even thought about how they have the same surname. To be fair to me, Tim Allen voices the character Woody in Toy Story which was a film that preceeded Pixars 'A Bugs Life'. Plus, they have the same surname like you said. Easy mistake I guess.
