I definitely agree that understatement was awesome in JB, but I think you're selling QT short, generally. All of his movies have scenes of action, sure, but he also has some of the richest and most nuanced dialogue in the biz. I find your reduction simple minded, offensively so.

but that is the critical moment of difference between QT's alternate universe and the real one. Without that moment, the rest of his movies seem out of place with reality, without knowing why. With that moment, now we know.

- Scene between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper in True Romance.
- Scene with Samuel L. Jackson quoting Ezekiel 25:17 in Pulp Fiction
- Scene where Michael Madsen chops off the cop's ear in Resevoir Dogs

QT just knows how to make a fucking movie. Those three scenes are some of the best shit I've seen put to film. Apologies if the above have already been linked.

Over time I have soured on the Ezekiel quote. But its Integral to the diner scene that put's that movie over the top.

qt wrote but did not direct true romance

although the walken/hopper scene is amazing.
