Second watch of this masterpiece and you know what, I'm just gonna say it, in my opinion this is the greatest directorial and writing debut ever, and one of the most important films of all time in terms of the impact and legacy it created.
I haven't come near watching all of Tarantino's filmography, but I already know nothing will top his first two movies, which are genuinely art in movie form. The dialogue, the music, the casting, all sheer…

It's important that I make clear that it was the extended blu-ray copy that I viewed so an extra half an hour was added onto the runtime for me, and I'm not completely sure what was added or changed in this version.
