Did they get to pick out their own colors?

The suspect was repeatedly slapped and kicked, pinned to the ground and hit with a telephone when he asked to call someone. The detectives then tell the suspect not to "bleed everywhere."

OK, I chuckled.

Could be worse. At least they didn't model the squad after The Bad Lieutenant.

Nobody's picking nothing. This ain't a gosh darn farkin city council meeting, you know.

CtrlAltDelete: They don't tip?

Correct. Tipping is not the norm in Australia. When I was there recently, I found it difficult to break the habit. Particularly because the receipts they give you all have a line for the gratuity, even though it's not common to give tips.

Mr. Brown: Yeah, yeah, but "Mr. Brown"? That's little too close to "Mr. Shiat".

Mr. Pink: Yeah, "Mr. Pink" sounds like "Mr. Pu$$y". Tell you what, let me be Mr. Purple. That sounds good to me. I'm Mr. Purple.

Joe: You're *not* Mr. Purple. Somebody from another job's Mr. Purple. You're Mr. Pink!

Oh yeah, and.....

Mr. Pink: Uhh-uh, I don't tip.

Nice Guy Eddie: You don't tip?

Listen kid, I'm not gonna bullshiat you, all right? I don't give a good fark what you know, or don't know, but I'm gonna torture you anyway, regardless. Not to get information. It's amusing, to me, to torture a cop. You can say anything you want cause I've heard it all before. All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you ain't gonna get.

Reservoir Dogs as a model for a police squad? Don`t they get The Sield in Australia?

The Sield

So The Proposition offered was a bit too harsh?

I'm very sorry the government taxes their tips, that's farked up. That ain't my fault. It would seem to me that waitresses are one of the many groups the government farks in the ass on a regular basis. Look, if you ask me to sign something that says the government shouldn't do that, I'll sign it, put it to a vote, I'll vote for it, but what I won't do is play ball. And as for this non-college bullshiat I got two words for that: learn to farkin' type, 'cause if you're expecting me to help out with the rent you're in for a big farkin' surprise.

What the hell is the appeal of Reservoir Dogs? Seriously, I'm not trying to troll, I just can't stand most Tarantino flicks. Pulp Fiction was at best pretty decent, but the rest are nigh-unwatchable (and no, I haven't seen Kill Bill 1 or 2, and I'm never going to. Tarantino sucks as a filmmaker, and I have no interest whatsoever in seeing that). That being said, again, what's the appeal of Reservoir Dogs? It seems to be little more than a porn, except instead of sex, there's pointless violence - hell, one of the characters, as I'm sure someone either already has or will soon quote, flat out says he engages in pointless violence. How is that entertaining?

/And yes, I have the same complaint about A Clockwork Orange, and yes, I know it's about hyperviolence or some such crap. That does not a great film make it, however.

I'm a big fan of Reservoir Dogs, so I'm getting a kick out of these responses.

Study some philosophy - and then get back to me. Reservoir Dogs, at the very least, is a study in the necessity of virtue among thieves. And as for Clockwork Orange - have you ever seen it, or better yet, read it? It's about a society that thinks it can cure violence.

The best way to explore the nature of violence and evil is to enact it on the screen, stage, or printed page - then we can step back from it and think about it without being threatened by it. To call it pornography is trendy, but utterly baseless. These films are not designed to get us to enjoy violence vicariously, but to understand ourselves (and society) better through them.

That movie taught the greatest lesson of all time. Which is use the 'f-word' for every third word in a sentence, and to trust your gut instinct.

I love that flick, and I feel bad for you as somebody who can't enjoy a masterpiece. If you can't dig the dialogue, you could at least give it props for an outstanding soundtrack; as well as an utterly bizarre filming process.

Shame, shame, know thy name. I'd like to know, just out of perverse curiosity, what sort of movie do you find excellent? Hmm? I know Kill Bill was probably too much for you to handle, as you've probably never exposed yourself to any Shogun Assassin films (or any film in that vein) and Pulp Fiction was pretty damn good, but IMHO not as ground breaking as Reservoir Dogs.

WOW, do I pity you. I'm shocked. I never post replies to comments on Fark, but you PeeLee have broken my record of not getting into it with anybody.

Kubrick and Tarantino don't suck. You do, you poor, uncultured son of a biatch.

Tell me you're joking. Even if you don't like his plotlines and dialogue, you're talking out of your ass if you disparage the man's absolutely fantastic directing abilities. Or are you one of the people who think a fight is best viewed through a spastic monkey with a cameraphone and having the cameraman circle the people while they're talking is still new and edgy?

This statement is all anyone needed to see to know explaining things to you is pointless. You can make a declaration in one statement and in the very next admit you don't know what you are talking about.

I agree with peelee.

It's ironic how you Fark simpletons criticize him for being a philosophical neophyte and uncultured when your support for cultural poison only proves that you're projecting.

If you had studied any good philosophy, you would understand why such things corrupt the mind, heart and soul. And, more outrageous still, is that you actually defend the cultural value of something that is the quintessential example of our cultural decay. This is what you defend as high culture? Wow.

Moreover, you can offer any justification you want by finding some pedestrian philosophical point that could be read into the film (and which may or may not be the intention of the creator), but it's nothing but rationalization. The goal of Tarantino is to make money by playing to the lowest common denominator; he's just like Howard Stern in that regard.

Lastly, if you think that such things don't glorify violence, thereby making society more violent, you're either rationalizing or just not that bright. You can talk till you're blue in the face about how the film doesn't make you want to emulate the violence -- and this may very well be true in your case -- but the fact is that it makes violence seem cool, and all the cool characters are violent. And most every kid wants to be like the cool ones, not the waitress trying to make ends meet and doing her job.

What pseudo-intellectuals you all are.

peelee: What the hell is the appeal of Reservoir Dogs? Seriously, I'm not trying to troll, I just can't stand most Tarantino flicks.

part of it is nerds actually getting away with macho posturing based on the music and movies they reference. All his characters are not traditional badasses, so much as nerds who use their nebbish knowledge to be badass.

the other is his dialogue. He destroyed Hollywood forever, because in movies, and we're talking sometimes every Hollywood movie produced in a given year, the characters talk about the action. The dialogue walks you through what is going on in a scene. not in QT movies. In real life, people talk about cheeseburgers and music they like. They talk about foot massages and what their dad once told them. That sort of thing.

Tarantino is the most realistic scriptwriter in Hollywood. Even if he is derivative as all hell for his material, nerdy snobs will always have that.

Now, the people who came back from the Rez Dog debut at the Toronto Film Festival saying, "This movie changed my life," those guys are farking lame and they are all bores. But it did change the way people watch movies and write dialogue.

I agree, it's ironic, but just that you contradict yourself so clearly without realizing it. Your entire argument is based on your assumptions of what is "good" are universal (religious are we?) and your entire post is just a long-winded way of saying "I don't like Tarantino movies"


pseudo-intellectual indeed.

I actually use Tarantino in my philosophy courses, usually when I teach Plato (at a well-known north-eastern university). Check out the Republic, book 4, where Plato refutes Thrasymachus's claim that virtue is might. He is describing Reservoir Dogs. And I always use Clockwork Orange when I teach Jeremey Bentham, in explaining his utilitarianism as concretized in his ill-fated project of the panopticon. I don't teach Foucault, but I always bring him up. These movies have cultural and philosophical value.

As for pseudo-intellectual, well, wow. Your argument is basically that we project our own motives into Tarantino, and then YOU say that his only motive is to make money. You understand, surely as an intellectual, that such a maneuver is self-defeating?

And as for poison - the old argument is the best: what would you do with all the murder and rape etc. in Homer? Or should we only watch sanitized views of reality, which, in fact, would only be projections of the purity you espouse?

NGM: I'd like to know, just out of perverse curiosity, what sort of movie do you find excellent?

Reservoir Dogs made me wish for some kind of purification ritual after I'd viewed it. I've rarely felt so degraded as a human being just because I watched something unfold in front of me. RD is entertainment for people who watched Faces of Death and giggled and said things like "Whoa" and "Bad ass, man."

Movies I have found excellent include:

1) Godfather
2) Apocalypse Now
3) Breathless (Jean Luc Godard version)
4) Heat
5) Until the End of the World

I am also one of the three people who liked Daredevil.
