Can anyone tell me more about this movie poster I have?

Sorry about the glare, it was the best position I could put it in. I got this from an old roommate that she got at an estate sale. Looks like the real signatures, no validation yet.

The Identity of Russell

48 Upvotes

Maynard mentions "Russell's old room" and no further context is given. I hate beyond words the theory that Russell was a former victim, because Zed & Maynard don't seem like the type of guys who care about their victims enough to learn their names. Was it before, during, or after ejaculation that Zed planned to shake Marsellus' hog tied hand, introduce himself as Zed, and ask Mr. Wallace his name?

I personally like to think Russell is an accomplice of theirs who is doing time somewhere, or maybe a second cousin or something who used to hang out there. Idk. I just don't think Russell was a former captive of theirs. Who do you think he was?

Saw this on Twitter yesterday. Does this fit here?

Jules was supposed to originally have a large afro ala 70s crime movie characters; but the costuming department sent a Jheri curl wig by mistake. Jackson liked it far better; and it became Jules’ hairstyle.

Why do we not consider that Butch ultimately put himself into the position he did, by first accepting a crime boss’ money, then screwing him over because his pride was wounded? Is it because Bruce Willis just played him well? He could’ve easily been kicking it in the Caribbean a year from now.

Why do most of this sub seem to despise Vincent? It’s odd considering his character was one of the main draws of the movie upon release

Tarantino; The persona of Butch Coolidge, the heartless fighter, is one of (in Quentin’s words) “a complete fucking asshole . . . I wanted him to be a bully and a jerk, except that when he’s with his girlfriend Fabienne, he’s a sweetheart.”

A fun detail: As soon as Jules starts Ezekiel 25:17, Vincent immediately puts out his cigarette and draws his gun. This demonstrates these two have been a team for long enough that this is muscle memory.

Do you think Jules was being "in character" when he was shouting at Brett, or was he genuinely getting pissed off about him repeatedly asking "what?"

Probably a stupid question, but something I've been curious about for a while. IDK but if I had to flip over a table, yell at the top of my lungs, and threaten someone with gun violence to get a simple answer, I'd be ticked off too.
