Tarantino's a baker

I was watching Pulp Fiction the other night for the first time since I saw it in theaters and in the part where Bruce Willis's character was going to leave Maurice down with the hill billies but then gets the samari sword instead there is a clock on the wall as he starts back down the stairs. The clock is set to exactly 4:20. I thought this was pretty funny. I'm probably the last one to notice this and the only one who cares or thought it was funny but, um, I did.

Yeah. . . apparently, ALL the clocks in the movie are set to 4:20.

Haha, really? I just caught the one in the shot I mentioned but I didn't watch the whole movie again. It was on Bravo ( I think) and they were cutting out a lot of it so I quit watching.

Laurel- Hmm, I've never seen it on DVD but I'd like to get it, it's a great movie. Does the special features on the Pulp Fiction disc have any other cool little tid bits?

I have Reservoir Dogs on DVD but it's the initial release and doesn't have any special features. It's widescreen on one side and full on the other. My buddy got Heroe on DVD from China but it has English subtitles. He's going to burn me a copy. I haven't seen the whole movie yet but it seems very cool and artistic for a Kung Fu movie.

Yeah, I read that in a facts book somewhere that all the clocks in that movie are set to 4:20...

Would you believe I saw that movie for the first time only about 3 months ago????

Satellite is great, when it works

He's also wearing an Orbit shirt when Jules and Vincent bring the body to his house. Orbit is (was?) a Detroit publication that had all kinds of funny news, satire, ads for the awesome sex shops around there, and personal ads for people with extreme fetishes.

  1 tsp vinegar

Preheat to 350 degrees.
Cream shortening, eggs, and sugar together in mixer.
In small bowl, mix cocoa and food coloring into a paste.
Add paste to mixer.
Sift flour and salt together.
Add flour mixture and buttermilk, alternating, in 3 steps.
Add vanilla.
Fold in baking soda and vinegar.
Bake for 30 minutes in two 9" round pans.

I've got a recipe from my grandmother. It's a Pennsylvania dutch chocolate cake with homemade chocolate icing.

I made it last July....it's to die for...

I made homemade raspberry ice cream last night. I had like 10 foodgasms.

I have the special edition DVD, so it's probably on there, i cant remember what else is on it, but it at least looks really cool

Dammit. . . now I'm hungry.

vrg3 · Post by **vrg3** » Fri Oct 08, 2004 6:20 am

Dude, go make these brownies. You don't have to chill them overnight. Believe me.

evolutionmovement · Post by **evolutionmovement** » Fri Oct 08, 2004 6:39 am

Brownies are best warm, I think. Any recipes for pstitsio?

Steve

vrg3 · Post by **vrg3** » Fri Oct 08, 2004 6:47 am

Well, these are half brownie and half cheesecake...

Pstitsio? You mean pastitsio, the Greek lasagna-ish kinda thing? Nope, never made it...

nobody celebrates 4/20 like boulder....

legacy92ej22t · Post by **legacy92ej22t** » Fri Oct 08, 2004 12:24 pm

I don't know, Eugene Oregon is pretty festive on 4/20 too. I have friends that went to school in Boulder and they said it was a lot like Eugene but Eugene has better supply.

Ijust saw Pulp Fiction on TV, and never really investigated. But what does that one dood have the band aid on the back of his neck and whats in the case...gold??

Post by **Legacy777** » Fri Oct 08, 2004 5:45 pm

Did you see pulp fiction on hbo or something? If you didn't.....and they edited for tv....then you really didn't see pulp fiction....

tris91ricer · Post by **tris91ricer** » Fri Oct 08, 2004 8:34 pm

I've never seen it anyhow.. perhaps i'll have to pick this one up.. i've really started to get into tarantino as of late (well, KB Vol1) but how's colorado on 4/20 after the whole columbine thing? that was in CO, right?

evolutionmovement · Post by **evolutionmovement** » Fri Oct 08, 2004 8:45 pm

Supposedly his soul is supposed to be in the case and somehow the bandaid is related. I can't remember the details.

Vikash - yeah that was a typo - pastitsio. I can't make that creamy top layer.
