I like that!
the movie is a slow burner classic. Robert de Niro hitting the bong, getting some, getting shot and otherwise acting like a slow 'don't give a fuck' idiot, Pam Grier's charactor..... too many good moments.
and it's got "Strawberry Letter 23" and Johnny Cash doing "Tennessee Stud".
a six pack and yr poison of choice during a boring summer day movie.

Also has one of the best opening scene + music pairings since The Graduate. In a scene that is, oddly, a hell of a lot like the opening scene from The Graduate! I think that was intentional. Tarantino should have his own goddamn university for film studies. Like, the only one that doesn't suck and also isn't a weird scheme. I'd talk about someday going to that. Never would, but I'd talk about it.
