That's bullshit, Travolta is boss in Pulp Fiction.

He was alright, not nearly as terrible as he is in just about every other film he has ever made.

T man ain't that bad. Much better actor than Tom Cruise.

That's not saying much.

But Tom Cruise, for the most part, does better films.

What's wrong with Travolta? I like him, or at least his older movies.

Meanwhile, he likes old, wrinkled, male pilots.

never expected that from him, always thought he was a pimp

1) Reservoir Dogs
2) Pulp Fiction
3) Jackie Brown
4) the QT bit from Four Rooms
4) Kill Bill ( the entire thing )
5) Inglorious Basterds
6) Death Proof
7) Django Unchained

That's how I line them up.

Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Basterds for me. Not a fan of Tarantino's though.

Anyone here watched The Master?

Basterds really didn't hit it off with me - the characters were way too shallow for my liking.

Looking forward to watching The Master though, huge fan of Seymour Hoffman.

All actors have those bloopers. Travolta is far from the hollywood guy you should be singling out for shit

YES! I'm also a fan of Paul Thomas Anderson's works.

It's just strange that Hoffman doesn't get that many lead roles. Especially when you consider the fact that he outshines virtually everyone else in the movies where he has a marginal character to play.

What do you think of Magnolia? People keep recommending it to me, might be time to check it out.

Could be his looks/physique. His performance as Truman Capote is one of the most memorable acts I have ever seen.

As for Magnolia, I don't know if you'll like it but I can say for sure that Martin won't []. Watch it

Haven't watched Capote - ooh, looks exciting .

I know it wasn't the greatest of movies, but Seymour Hoffman was hilarious in Charlie Wilson's War

He also produced that piece of shit and was teh driving force behind its creation because he's a whacked out scientologist.

Seriously, Battlefield Earth is one of the worst movies ever made. It has a 2.4 rating on IMDB. I'll never forgive him for that.

Pulp Fiction, Saturday Night Fever and Get Shorty aren't enough to overcome it.

Plus he's a uber Scientologist. Can't respect that. It's the reason he did Battlefield Earth.

Let me know when you finish it. I still haven't completely processed it.

why

It's a more difficult story to get done right. The acting is great, directing apparent, it pretty much checks all the boxes. Pulp Fiction is good to, but from a cinematic point of view RD is just the better film.

If you haven't seen it, then you NEED to see it.

 

[Osman]

Tom Cruise for all his hollywood star formulaic work over ze decades, has by far proven he is a better actor then that overacting flamboyant clown that is John Travolta. Cruise has shown his acting chops in several dramatic roles besides the typical "star" roles he usually does. In overall a solid actor, not something I would say about Travolta, outside of musicals, and unserious roles that isnt hindered by ze overacting, he comes short for sure. Plus both are Scientologists, so he cant even be better then Tom in his main batshit crazy flaw.

Cruise was fantastic in Tropic Thunder, Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July, The Color of Money, Minority Report, Ghost Protocol, Risky Business.... Travolta isn't fit to carry Cruise's jockstrap.

Cruises best performance for me was in Magnolia i also liked him in Vanilla Sky he really is miles ahead of Travolta... Travolta cannot be taken serious in any role, i like him just as i like Sly or Arnie. he is cheese... but good cheese

 

[Osman]

Good to see some reason I have heard too many terrible actors said to be better then Cruise in last few years, just because they can't stand Cruise the crazed celebrity.


P. S Vinny, you forgot Collateral.
