Jaylen Twyman shot, will survive
#31
Shot in arm, legs, buttocks and shoulder. He is lucky. I really hope the trauma of it doesn't mess with him and he lives his best life.

Such a phenomenal movie.
I am a huge Tarantino fan, his movies are so different than a lot of the blockbuster stuff that gets put out.  The dialogue, character building, and his unique way of telling a story really sets him apart.  Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds, and Django are his best IMO.
Pulp Fiction is an absolute favorite. I remember seeing it in one of the cool theatres that served dinner and drinks. As we were all leaving the theater we were boasting about the incredible movie, the dialogue, the acting, including Harvey Keitel's crazy scenes. I have never forgotten my friend looking at me and asking "Harvey Keitel was in it?" Good grief.;.. we didn't realize she'd gotten drunk and slept through almost the whole movie.

So good, though.
Maybe I was drinking too. I remember seeing it in the theater, what, almost 30 years ago? I haven't seen it since and, though I remember liking it, I don't remember being blown away by it.

But I think I've talked to at least two dozen people who count it among their favorites, so I think it's due for a re-watch.

Wow, just spent two weeks in DC.  I like the place, you need to be aware, but sure seems like you can avoid trouble if your not looking for it.  But then again I am not 24 years old with a pocket full of cash.
Broad daylight, in the neighborhood he grew up in. On the way to see the family he entered the draft early so he could help get them out. Yep, he was clearly looking for trouble.  Kid was raised in DC but I am sure he would appreciate the wisdom from some rando on the interwebs who has spent 2 whole weeks in his town weighing in on being safe. 
No doubt, like to think as a white 65 year old guy who has walked a few city streets in the US, and elsewhere shit happens.  I was just saying, I didn't know what happened to him, it wasn't inevitable, he was in a different situation than I was.  And I have spent more than two weeks walking around there, so why you runnin your thing on the "interweb" bragging about a bigbone?  Whats your point?
Does the time you have spent in DC trump the time of someone born and raised there? If not your experience has little validity in comparison. But again I am sure he would appreciate the wisdom of someone who has no idea what his up bringing was like.  Bragging about my bigbone? The moniker has zero to do with my junk, but good to know who out on the interwebs is thinking about it.

What are you talking about, I just was commenting on the coincidence that I had just visited and I don't find DC a threatening place.  Also stated I have little in common with the young man so I was tacitly implying I had no clue what happened in his situation.

Tacitly implying you had no clue what happened? Not sure how any of the bolded helps you achieve that.

Yeah I am not a 24 year old, flush with cash.  I go the farmers markets with my grand-kid, but then again there are perhaps other places I would have went when I was 24 and had a pocket full of cash.  Sorry I apologize for offending you, in the future when I want to offend you I promise to be very direct.

Top 5 all time for me. 
O hell yes...

Maybe my top 2 or 3. I got sucked into Godfather 2 the other night. Talk about classics. That might be the only sequel as good or better than the original.

That's great that you and your grandkid can go to farmers markets and live a life where you and yours are not surround by violence. Jaylen and his family didn't have that privilege. There are perhaps other places you would have went when you were 24 with a pocket full of cash? How many times does it need to be repeated? This was the neighborhood he was raised in. He was there to see the very family he entered the draft early to help get out. It was broad daylight.  By your logic successful people  should never again go home if they are from the "wrong side of town".

Okay, the Pulp Fiction clips, need to see it again.  Could there be a Tarantino, Coen bros. collaboration ever be made, perhaps an edwardian action comedy.
