The trip off the end of the bridge is a classic foot stomper. That Catherine, she's a terror!
But there were so many moments before that.
The damn burst for me during the "Elective Affinities" schtick, when Jim and Catherine knowingly took each other's hands and silently went into the bedroom.
It was so important!
The dream about Napoleon was pretty great. And every time Sabine was on screen. She's a hoot.
sharethis sounds odd but i laughed out loud when the narrateur said catherine wanted her ashes to be thrown froma hilltop....but it wasn't permitted. the laugh just came out of me - took me by surprise - i guess it was because even in death she was constricted - and also i guess it served her right having killed jim.
sharewhen jules told catherine to pronounce "jim" the english way. i don't know why i thought this was so funny.
Where are you, Mount Everest? Give me some Everest.
The race across the bridge - it always cracks me up when Jules is counting down the race 'One...two....oh!' as he sees Catherine cheat by starting to run on 'two'.
"Someone has been tampering with Hank's memories."
One small detail - Jim's back in Paris, towards the end of the film, in a café. Just after Therese has come and nattered on at him for ages.
On his way out, Jim meets one of his old friends, this guy with a proper sleazy smile, and a pretty girl sat on the stool next to him.
He announces that this is his girlfriend Dénise, "a beautiful object" who is empty inside the head.
He knocks twice on her head to prove it, and she just stares vacantly back at the two men.
"It's sex, pure sex", says the sleazy guy, and he and Jim have a good chuckle about it :D
"Now Dénise, say goodbye to the monsieur..."
The first time I saw the film, I found some parts funny, but, when at a screening last night, I was surprised by some of the things the audience laughed at.
When Catherine pulled out the gun and was threatening Jim with it, the friend I was with laughed in shock, leaned over to me, and whispered, "B*tch has a piece!"
No one has mentioned the self-conscious anarchist...
"DEATH TO OTHE-"
When Catherine starts naming dozens of vineyards and she doesn't stop.
Also, when Jim goes back to Paris and talks to a woman (I don't remember her name) and she tells him her whole life and she keeps talking, she keeps talking... even when he's not listening anymore.
"Now I'm here by myself, uh, talking to myself. That, that's Chaos Theory."
France has the widest variety of wines in in the world!!!!!!!!
That was funny.
When Catherine was talking about the "Our father". It was funny 'cause that's what I used to think when I was a little kid too!
shareWhen Jim is telling Jules and Albert that long and serious story of the dying soldier he met during the war and an erotic correspondence he had. The story and way it is told is very serious, but Jim ends it by saying (something along the lines of):
"I even have pictures of the guy. If you look at them real fast it looks like he's moving."
It was such an ADD moment from the context that person took in the previous story. Had me laughing out loud!
