I have to admit his voice is definitely one of the best in the buisness when it comes to character voices.--hees good ad those especialy the characters he plays..I loved him in Tron...Epic.

The last words he said are exactly what I'm going for. The worlds full of it so dont take shiz from anyone and make your movies, make them and know they have to be ripe. Make them and know that they're fresh. Some point in time a movie will come along that will change your perspective, it might even be you who does it.

This guy's voice is just entrancing! It's like he just took a sip of water and then startede speaking before swallowing. That's how it sounds to me, at least. Bridges, Jeffrey Wright and Morgan Freeman - I could listen to those guys talk about random stuff all day long

@DrMechaGodzilla Tonally I think the Coens attempted to create their own Pulp Ficiton, with the strange mix of characters that seem to come from different genres of movies. Plus, the obvious use of the Macguffin of rug versus suitcase, the gun toting Walter Sobchak (with religious motivations echos Jules Winfield), and to paraphrase Wiki: unconventional dialogue and eclectic music. Several scenes of violence also mimic Pulp Ficiton's off-the-cuff nature, and both were influenced by Raymond C.

Well thats, just like, your opinion, man.

@quidseeker How does The Big Lebowski relate at all to Pulp Fiction? I don't remember any carpets or bowling involved in Pulp Fiction, and I'm pretty sure The Dude wasn't a gangster.

The Big Lebowski was always a stupid rip-off of Pulp Fiction...but it's funny because certain movies of the Cohen's, like Blood Simple and Miller's Crossing, also influenced Pulp Fiction, so, it's like a fucking snake eating it's own tail, throwing up, and then eating itself all over again. Far-out man.
