Back in the day, something we used to do in the THorum every Friday was play a game called The Friday Five. The game was introduced to us by the LiveJournal community of the same name and the goal of the game was simple – to learn more about each other.
I was Twittering the other day, and someone who used to frequent the THorum reminded me of the fun they had playing The Friday Five. So I decided to introduce it to the blog.
The way it works is simple. I ask you 5 questions and you answer them! Since this is on the home page, I’ll ask that everyone keep their answers clean of language. But you guys do a really good job of that anyway, so I’m not too worried.
Anyway, since Inglourious Basterds is in theater this weekend, I thought we’d play a Tarantino-themed version of The Friday Five. Here are your questions!
- What’s the first Tarantino movie you ever saw?
- How old were you when you saw this movie?
- Tarantino has a resuscitated the career of several Hollywood actors. What down-and-out actor would you like to see him cast in his next movie?
- What’s your favorite line of Tarantino dialogue? (keep it clean, if you can)
- What’s your favorite Tarantino film?
There you go! Leave your answers in the comments!

4. In Reservoir Dogs when they are in the diner talking about tipping (I won’t type it out as it is full of swears. If you want the dialogue then google it.). The whole diner scene is a good sense of Tarantino’s written dialogue.
5. It’s a toss up between Kill Bill (Vol. 1&2) and Pulp Fiction. I am going to go with Kill Bill as I am big fan of those types of Chop Socky flicks.

3. Bob Hoskins isn’t “down-and-out” but I’d like to see him in a Tarantino movie.
4. My favorite line is Vic Vega’s reaction to the five-dollar milkshake
5. I think Pulp Fiction holds up the best, plus it blew my mind the first time I saw it unedited.
good lord I feel old.

3. Can’t think of anyone.
4. “Say ‘What?’ again!” I guess. Only line I can remember.
5. “Jackie Brown” has been about the only QT movie I could tolerate.
Personally, I think QT is WAY overrated. “Pulp Fiction” had a lot of good lines but
didn’t really care for the story. Probably because it didn’t HAVE a story. When I mentioned
this to someone, they said I probably wouldn’t like “Reservoir Dogs” either. Rented it, and
sure enough, I didn’t like it. Someone else rented “Jackie Brown” and it was actually fairly
good. Probably because it has something resembling a story.
I couldn’t be bother to watch any of the “Kill Bills” and the “CSI” episode “Grave Danger”
was just plain silly. Not a lot of interested in seeing “Grindhouse” but would probably watch
it should it ever come on TV.
All that being said, after watching the trailer, “Inglorious Basterds” actually intrigued me
in spite of the fact that QT’s name is associated with it. I won’t see it in the theaters, I am
sure but would actually be interested in seeing it.
1.Reservoir Dogs
2. 16 years old
3. Tim Curry
4. I don’t tip because society says I have to. Alright, I tip when somebody really deserves a tip. If they put forth an effort, I’ll give them something extra. But I mean, this tipping automatically, that’s for the birds. As far as I’m concerned they’re just doing their job.
5.Natural born killers was written by him so i count that.
1. Pulp Fiction
2. 13 ish
3. Can’t think of a down and out actor, however i would love to see Liam Neeson in a QT film
4. “Thats a pretty f…… good milkshake. I don’t know if it’s worth five dollars but it’s pretty f…… good.”
5. Pulp Fiction
1. Pulp Fiction
2. 13 maybe?
3. I was thinking Harrison Ford, but MAN Tim Curry would be amazing! Also, Robert Downey Jr, although hey’s hardly down and out.
4. there’s two: a) “What ain’t no country I’ve ever heard of. They speak English in What?” and b) “Three tomatoes are walking down the street: Poppa tomato, Momma tomato, and Baby tomato. Baby tomato starts lagging behind and Poppa tomato gets really angry; goes back and squishes him, says, ‘Ketchup.'”
5. Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill series tie.
1. Pulp Fiction
2. 14ish
3. William Shatner
4. Captain Koons: “The way your dad looked at it, this watch was your birthright. He’d be damned if any slopes gonna put their greasy yellow hands on his boy’s birthright, so he hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you”
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Christopher Walken is only awesome!

2. I was probably about 12 years old, and I distinctly remember my dad secretly letting me watch it with him one afternoon when my mom was out of the house. At the time, I was a HUGE anime nerd, and my dad really wanted me to only see the animated segment of the film, but we ended up watching the whole thing together. Good times! =)
3. He’s hardly down-and-out, but I would love to see Elijah Wood show up in one of his next films.
4. Mia Wallace: “That’s when you know you’ve found somebody special. When you can just shut the f*** up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.”
5. Definitely Pulp Fiction, but I also really liked Jackie Brown.
