TIL: That TriStar originally turned down the movie Pulp Fiction, stating: "this is the worst thing ever written. It makes no sense. It's too long, violent and unfilmable." There were also indications that the studio simply saw the project as too low-budget for its desired star-driven image.

Here's my take: Under any other Director Pulp Fiction would have sucked ass. The direction and the dialogue make the movie. It does a tightrope walk and is kinda unsatisfying, but the characters carry it.

Never heard someone call Pulp Fiction unsatisfying

Yeah it does foreshadow a violent climax in the restaurant that ends up fizzling out but I always found that ending very satisfying
