@lordmelton. Just curious, in what ways do you think reservoir dogs has an aged well?
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
For me there is one that has always been top of the list.
Edith Piaf…..l just can’t think of anything worse.
Do not get me wrong and consider my choice is in any way racist….l love to listen to music with songs in any language… Italian, French, Spanish…..
Russian and German can however be extremely demanding, but Edith Piaf (if possible in any language) is a potential harrowing experience.
Do any others on here have a similar artist, or artists that can trigger the same physical reaction?

”not aged well” l caught up again with Reservoir Dogs recently on TV. I must admit l didn’t enjoy it as much as l remembered seeing it the first time.
I liken Reservoir Dogs to a 1950s American western (lots of build up, no real engaging action and labouring on to a quick shootout at the end) His later films resembled 1960s Italian spaghetti westerns (lots of action, shootouts throughout and leading up to a really long showdown at the end) I can draw another comparison. “A Gunfight” versus “The Wild Bunch” (a copy cat American Spaghetti Western) | ||
Not that I am arguing with you, @mylogic , but I feel there was much more to Reservoir Dogs than there ever was to most all westerns that were ever produced. I make no claim to being a movie critic, but I feel that the action flashbacks and the action directly leading up to the resolution, was all secondary to the flashbacks in which the viewer gets to know the characters and situation. I am not saying that this was done in a world class manner, but it did have my attention when I first saw it, and unlike most westerns, I don't think I knew what the ending was going to be as I watched the movie. But as far as Tarentino, although I thoroughly enjoyed Pulp Fiction, I wouldn't go out of my way to watch anything else that he did that I can think of offhand. | ||
