Was there a point to the line My name's Pitt-line?

Jules says "My name's Pitt, and you ain't talking your ass outta this shit" to Brett. Was Pitt just some random name he pulled out, or did he mean he was a pit that Brett couldn't climb out of?

I'ma get down voted to hell and beyond

I just watched pulp fiction for the first time. It was alright in my opinion. Tarentino has other films I preferred much more than this. In fact I watched this because I like Tarentino films. But pulp fiction was just lacking I guess. Was there something I missed? Can you give me a different perspective because it really just sees slapped together and it's only saving grace was the a list cast. I didn't come here to roast the film I came here to see what I missed. Because all I really got from it was an excuse to use the hard R and a lot of gore. I was kinda just disappointed but I'm hoping you guys can give me some perspective so when I watch this again I have a new appreciation.

What if Matt Dillon got the role of Butch?

Question, What if Matt Dillon got the role of Butch Coolidge?

Apparently, Tarantino wrote the role to Matt Dillon.

From Tarantino- “So what happened was I originally wrote the part for Matt Dillon because he was a fan of my script for Reservoir Dogs,” he said. Following the release of Tarantino’s feature-length debut in 1992, many ears in Hollywood pricked up for the production of his follow-up. However, the studio Tarantino signed with had a clause that meant he had to hire actors of a certain calibre to allure audiences to the cinema.

Tarantino continued: “We’d made a deal with Miramax and part of the deal with them was that we have an ensemble cast, but we need at least one, if not two, approved Miramax actors in the cast. We can cast anybody as long as we have somebody they considered a name they could sell. Matt Dillon fell into the name category that they would accept.”

The director must have thought that Dillon was in the bag, seeing as he was already a fan of Tarantino’s first movie, but that proved not to be the case. “I wrote it for Matt, and it seemed like it was going to be easy getting him,” Tarantino added. “But he read it, and he wasn’t so sure about it”.

There was something in the character of Butch that Dillon was not so keen on, and it largely consisted of the way Tarantino would tell his story. “He wanted to see Butch actually boxing,” Tarantino said. “Maybe he didn’t 100% get it. And he also wanted to play the Vincent character. He didn’t say no, but he didn’t say yes.”

Matt Dillon turned down Quentin Tarantino and ‘Pulp Fiction’ (faroutmagazine.co.uk)

In my opinion, I think Matt Dillon made a mistake. I think Matt Dillion is a very underrated actor when a underrated career, but he really never got that "Role".

What if Matt Dillon got the role of Butch Coolidge? or Vincent Vega?

How do you think that would change his career? or would it still be the same?

Butch's real name?

I am obsessed with names, nicknames and how they work. I am a big fan of Tarantino and I decided to google if Butch was a real name or not, since I cant imaging a mother naming their child Butch. It's a nickname, so that means that Butch's name is something else (according to a wiki fandom page his name is James). Was it ever mentioned what his real name was?

Why Vincent shot Marvin

In the diner, Jules tells Ringo to get Yolanda to stop yelling because it makes him scared, and when motherfuckers get scared, motherfuckers accidentally get shot.

In the car, Vincent has just been through a near-death experience that he is ostensibly brushing off. But I think Vincent is freaked out inside. He’s scared, and a motherfucker accidentally got shot.

This movie does not sit well with me

I watched the movie a few times but I don’t fully understand the plot and the symbolism of most elements and some dialogue does not sit right with me. How can I actually understand the movie much more and enjoy it?

What was Jimmy's deal?

Apologies if this is a common question, but what was Jimmy's affiliation to Jules and the criminal world? He has a supposedly legitimate wife who works at the hospital, lives on a modest house, but is only slightly put out by a couple of hitmen bringing a blood-soaked car and dead body to his house.

High res pulp fiction poster

I am putting posters in my room and i really wanna find a high resolution pulp fiction poster. The best one i could find only went up to A4 before losing it’s quality. I want to print it so i need it in a digital form. Also i want it to be big like the ones you see at the cinema so i need it extremely high resolution. The lucky strike advance would be even better but anything will do.

Can anyone help?
