At least he has twitter to keep him busy.

Absolutely. Currently (KFAD aside), I'm working on an S/F fic for a friend who wanted something adorable and PG. I still think it's adorable, but it's not so PG.

My dad took my brother to see PF when it came out because my brother, who was always into writing, was big into film and thus, he had to see Pulp Fiction because Quentin was the new, young writer/director in Hollywood. Seeing from the perspective as a father of a teenaged son, my dad wasn't so fond of it. Later, he realized just how good it really is. My dad and I have talked about that, too, about how people treat PF like it's the Holy Grail of Quentin's career. I can see on a basic level why people would think that; it's got this amazingly diverse cast with interlocking stories, whip-smart dialogue (who else would ever think of banter about hamburgers?), shocking scenes of violence, and all of it put together in a style that is wholly original. It is considered to be the most copied film of the '90s for those reasons (I do love the knock-off 2 Days in the Valley, which is like its younger cousin) and I appreciate what it did for film in general; at that point, there was a complete shift in indie films of the mid '90s and onward, mostly for the better.
I hate that Jackie Brown in comparison, was considered a failure because it wasn't what people expected of Quentin. Pulp Fiction, aside from being a great film, came out at the right time, like all cultural phenomenons. It's lightning in a bottle. It can't be replicated or forced, and frankly, if Quentin were to try to do the same thing again, I'd consider it to be a step backward.
I talked about that with my dad, as we re-watched IB together recently, and that led us to talking about the relationships in Quentin's films. They're never the outright obvious ideal people think of when imagining a relationship; they're subtle, almost under the radar. He makes the most out of their interactions without going the usual route other films take, yet they manage to be completely moving. As my dad put it, there's something almost unbelievable about them, such as with the Bride/Bill; if it were reality, such a coupling would be considered impossible, and I think that makes it hard for some audiences to accept. Which is funny, since they're so willing to accept the complete outrageousness of everything else they're seeing. I am so rambling, but yeah, Quentin is unconventional in every sense of the word, especially his romances, which I love, but most have a hard time grasping.

Oh, dear. Are you doing better now? My equilibrium goes off balance sometimes, which has sent me head-first into walls before. It's frightening to lose control like that.
