I was floored when I first saw the movie back then, along with Pulp Fiction. But anything new and unique about it has since been beaten to death. The deliberately innocuous background music in a violent scene, the overly glib cursing, the “serious” discussions about some pop culture horseshit, references to childhood cereal brands, tv shows, cartoons, etc. I rolled my eyes when someone was smoking “Manzanas Rojas” in “The Hateful Eight”. Stagey derivative bullshit.

(edit) nevermind

I love the reservoir dogs...
I was struggling to get by....working a late shift to leave the day open for job interviews.

and I watched a lot of late night television.
and when this movie came out Conan had every person in the movie on...and then I rented it.

I don't anyone quite does the ultra-violence like Quentin does...but the dialog keeps it moving.

overly glib cursing?

Yeah, that gabby contrived toilet mouth dialog you always find in his scripts. Some of the a-holes i work with, I call them Tarantino Tough-guys because they copy that smug chattiness. I tell them to try copying Bronson or Eastwood and keep their mouth shut.

Derivative of himself. It wouldn't be a "Tarantino flick" otherwise.

That's like when Fantasy Records sued John Fogerty for sounding too much like CCR.

Yeh, fuck that Tarantino guy - its as if he wants to be some kind of Tarantino or something. What a tryhard jerk.

Before Charlie Sheen had tiger's blood, Tarantino was just being himself. The guy is wired!

It's the Tarantino Tough-guys versus the Eastwood-Bronsonians. Pretty apt given that Dirty Harry's original nemesis Scorpio was a smug and chatty murderer.

Tarantino's antiheros are the natural enemies of Harry Callahan. Even Gene Hackman's character in Unforgiven is a loud mouth to the moment he dies complaining life ain't fair, he was building a house. *BLAM*

Thanks, Bono, that connected some hero/antihero dots for me.
