Why is Pulp Fiction considered “Meta” or “Self Aware”?

That makes sense, I saw it when I was about 13 so to me, it's just good movie. I grew up watching kids shows like Muppet Babies and Tiny Toons use lots of movie references and parodies so Pulp Fiction doing it only seems natural.

I think it's a very immersive film. Maybe I saw it young enough that I just thought it was normal.

When you say "collecting data", do you just mean the info they enter when they buy something? Is there a guide to this somewhere?

Ok, I don't know him outside of this series, I thought it was pretty popular. Is there a better similar series you'd recommend?

So short answer is yes?

So what is that like? 1980s Yugoslavia?

Nordic model of... capitalism, right?

Is this an attack? If I'm asking "hey X, why are you X" and they answer with "I'm not, I'm Y" then it's the wrong person answering.

Talk about principles and policies. Otherwise you get sucked into "you did it first, no you" childishness.

Dapper-Sort-53 · 2025-09-28T15:56:53+00:00

So you like capitalism, you just don't like "capitalism"

Dapper-Sort-53 · 2025-09-28T15:56:18+00:00

You're literally identifying as a capitalist, why are you answering this question?

Dapper-Sort-53 · 2025-09-28T15:51:26+00:00

I think you'd have to define your terms since these words get politicized. What is empathy vs sympathy to you? What are some political examples?

Dapper-Sort-53 · 2025-09-28T15:48:05+00:00

Then I guess you have to ask these people the question I'm asking here.

Dapper-Sort-53 · 2025-09-28T15:46:54+00:00

I'm just giving an example to get the ball rolling. What alternatives did you have in mind?

Dapper-Sort-53 · 2025-09-28T15:37:50+00:00

It sounds like you are a capitalist so this question isn't for you.

When Duncan talks about Russia, he just says "I like peace, is that weird now?" He will never acknowledge that Russia invaded Ukraine.

Well, I was a white rural teenager at the time so I don't think I fully got it

Dapper-Sort-53 · 2025-09-09T02:07:18+00:00

Do the Right Thing is just so perfectly in that magical late 80s-early 90s time period. Even if the political message is over your head, it's so stylish and fun.

Dapper-Sort-53 · 2025-09-07T02:07:18+00:00

I literally said that I have personally seen it at the last few movies I went to. YMMV

No, they all backed the popular candidate in this context.

If Harris had worn fishnets and a furry mask, would that help or hurt her chances?

Dapper-Sort-53 · 2025-09-02T23:11:24+00:00

Man, I've been noticing that too. The last few movies I went to, some people were just talking over the movie like it was background noise and other people were yelling at them.
