You gotta at least like the bathroom story scene.

How old are you?

I sometimes wonder how much different my life would have been, or if it would have been different at all, if my parents hadn't raised me watching what they like to watch... so a lot of Tarantino.
14, why? I've seen all of Taritino's movies except for that one and Reservoir Dogs because it never came on TV, and my mom didn't want me watching Pulp, but my dad didn't care. And, I have netflix now too so I can watch Reservoir Dogs whenever.
I'm mostly just wondering because Pulp Fiction was one of the first movies I ever remember seeing, besides the Dollars Trilogy, High Plains Drifter, Dusk Till Dawn, and various poorly remembered scenes from the many, many car movies my Dad watches.

Reservoir Dogs isn't my favorite Tarantino, but I still like it quite a bit.

I've come to really like BD cases at this point. For whatever reason I didn't for a long time, but now I do with the PS3 and all. They're slick and look like evolved CD cases I guess.

I like the PS3 version of it, but I can't stand the movie version.

You don't like all your films being in bright blue boxes? Why not?

In all seriousness, you can use your movie collection to help signal a plane trying to land.

I watched most of Tarantino's films when I was around his age too. I'm no fan of the MPAA but I don't think anyone under 10 (which is what I presume you mean) should watch Pulp Fiction. Although I will say that the MPAA nailed the rating on American Psycho. I watched that movie when I was 15 and It got to me. I'm not fazed by violence and stuff in movies or games but there just something about it in that film.

Reservoir Dogs is actually one of my favorites. I'd hold it a notch above Jackie Brown.

Yes, I am in a region 2 country but I always preferred the region 1/NTSC product. I always felt the Americans get the better product, even the packaging looks better. Maybe I am just imagining ? I buy my consoles NTSC . Not to mention the NTSC/region 1 used market is much bigger.

None the less, these prices are extremely low, I never thought of buying outside Amazon. On Zavvi there is a boxet of 5 movies for $18 , thats cheaper than buying a movie on the iTunes store. What is the deal with that? How come prices are so low ? Play.com got Blurays for cheaper than iTunes rent price . Is this a sign Bluray is going down or prices where I live are too high?

Thanks, I think I will start using these sites. They even deliver for free .
