Pulp Fiction Soundtrack – Opening Theme (Dick Dale and His Del Tones – Miserlou)
January 12th, 2012Pulp Fiction is a 1994 crime film directed by Quentin Tarantino, who cowrote its screenplay with Roger Avary. The film is known for its rich, eclectic dialogue, ironic mix of humor and violence, nonlinear storyline, and host of cinematic allusions and pop culture references. The film was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture; Tarantino and Avary won for Best Original Screenplay. It was also awarded the Palme d’Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. A major critical and commercial success, it revitalized the career of its leading man, John Travolta, who received an Academy Award nomination, as did costars Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman. Directed in a highly stylized manner, Pulp Fiction joins the intersecting storylines of Los Angeles mobsters, fringe players, small-time criminals, and a mysterious briefcase. Considerable screen time is devoted to conversations and monologues that reveal the characters’ senses of humor and perspectives on life. The film’s title refers to the pulp magazines and hardboiled crime novels popular during the mid-20th century, known for their graphic violence and punchy dialogue. Pulp Fiction is self-referential from its opening moments, beginning with a title card that gives two dictionary definitions of “pulp”. The plot, in keeping with most of Tarantino’s other works, is presented out of chronological sequence. The picture’s self-reflexivity, unconventional structure, and extensive use of homage and pastiche have led critics to …

Let’s Play Paper Mario (100%) 20 – Unexplained Mysteries Inside Boos Mansion
January 7th, 2012Mario now finds himself within Boos Mansion; a haunted mansion full of unexplainable boos. The Boo Species doesn’t make any sense. They are symbolic of ghosts, however they’re capable of holding and moving objects; at the same time they are able to go through walls and float as if they were mass-less. It gets even more complicated by the fact that boos as are the ultimate dead of all species in the Mario universe, there is no evidence of different style of boos. There isn’t toad boos, goomba boos, koopa boos, just one round scary boo. In other Mario games, theres eries, giant boos, and even a hat that makes Mario a boo! THE SUPERNATURAL CANNOT BE SCIENTIFICALLY EXPLAINED!! Mario finds a new pair of green a flashy boots in the mansion. These new green boots give Mario the ability to Hop into the air and then come crashing down on his butt. In real life doing this can be rather painful if not done on a trampoline. Yet Mario has an iron butt. This is true of many other Mario characters in the Mario world that are able to leap into the air and come clashing down on their butt. Mario’s new ability allows him to find hidden star pieces that are underneath the ground. I don’t know who/what put them there but this makes no logical sense. Smashing the ground by these plates that fly out of the air shows a bad architecture. This is even worse in areas where I do this to the ground OUTSIDE and it still works. However there are many star pieces I can now find with this new ability …
