Jeff Bridges Compares PULP FICTION To The Talking Heads 

It really tied the plot lines together.

For me hearing the Talking Heads “Take Me to the River” for the first time was like a light had turned on. They sounded like music had given birth to something truly, unique and so cool.

Jeff's acting in True grit was outstanding

a great observation by Bridges, happy to hear he's a Talking Heads fan too

Great analogy and makes total sense coming from him, being a musician and songwriter.

I was 14 when Pulp Fiction came out. Its been my #1 favorite movie ever since.

I’m surprised Jeff Bridges hasn’t been in a Tarantino movie

In 1983 I was waiting for a flight at Barnstable airport on Cape Cod. The terminal was empty. 5 people walked in and sat down next to me. I looked up...it was the Talking Heads. David Byrne was most gracious. The band had just played the Coliseum. Back then, I always wanted to meet this band and Bryan Ferry. That happened at another airport a few months later. I have lead a very charmed life

Pulp Fiction blew my mind when I saw it at 15. I loved all sorts of movies but that was I think the first where I went, 'Holy shit. Movies can do anything. There is no formula.' Punk Rock and Rap music had the same effect on me. The world gets a little bit bigger when you have those moments.

I will be darned. I have to totally agree with his comments, thats was my same reaction to both the Talking Heads and Pulp Fiction as well. Damn good to see that I am not the only one who thinks that way!

I saw that same freshness in Bridges' early film roles, particularly the 1974 film, "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot." The scenes where he's interacting with George Kennedy are so jarring in their disparate reactions, just wonderful. Bridges youthful exuberance is also so captivating and sincere, it makes the sad turn at the end of the film all the more poignant. That movie affected me in much the same an earlier film, Bridges was also in, "The Last Picture Show" did; stunning. The notion of creating something so different or new, as The Talking Heads imaginative sound burst onto the scene or Tarantino did with "Pulp Fiction" meld well with Bridges own work, i.e., "The Big Lebowski." He's such a joy to watch on the screen...he seems to be such a grounded, decent fellow in real life as well...

He only liked Talking Heads so much because he hates the fuckin Eagles man

"i hate the f_cking eagles man"

I love Jeff acting. He’s one of my favourites.

Soooo after 12 years RU-vid finally recommended this video 😂😂

The Fisher King will always be my favorite movie for Jeff Bridges and also for Robin Williams. I remember going into a shop on Haight Ashbury and I saw Robin Williams with what was I think his daughter and I wanted to tell him how great I thought the movie was but then out of respect I didn't I figured t the time that was the greatest was of showing my appreciation for the man.

This fills my heart with joy

God bless the dude !! "Strikes and gutters, ups and downs."

Refreshing like this video. Right on!!

“I was high when I said that.” What every celebrity quote should have following it for everyone who wants to take it seriously.

My all time favorite film.

More please❤

He says Etch a Sketch, but the motion that he does with his hands makes me think that he was thinking of Magic Slate.

when i see jeff bridges, all i remember him for is True Grit, great western!

the closest thing I've had to this was, as an avid fan of classic rock and folk, seeing DRIVE in theaters for the first time, and totally digging that soundtrack...loved the movie in general of course. since then, I sample as much Euro-pop as I can, and keep my eyes peeled for any thrillers that are equally inspired by Melville and such.

JB always looks like he's eating something delicious

The only movie I saw that I smiled the whole time watching from start to finish.

It’s a great comparison, and exactly how I felt. I was in the Beatles -Stones - Dylan camp in my buddy left Fear Of Music at my house when I was a youngster. I played it over and over. i went on to see them at least eight times mostly in great seats. Fast forward 10 years Later, I see Pulp fiction and being a minor film student turned to my future wife and commented that besides the entertainment value the time structure is so brilliant and ballsy. I’m not sure we’ve had an artistic musical endeavor or film endeavor with that impact in the last 10 years, but I’m hopeful to be proved wrong.

donnie: dude your phones ringing dude: THANK YOU DONNIE

The name of the band is: Talking Heads

It's easy to image that Pulp fiction could start again. As a prequel, with main characters, evolved around an additional cast of different actors.

Jeff Bridges is seriously the coolest actor ever.

Talking Heads and Pulp Fiction are a good comparison. They're both different from the norm, at that time.

Shhhhhhh....listen! The Dude is speaking.

Great actor Jeff. Stay well.

Love Jeff ...great actor, great guy ...so I've heard, :P

I had a friend who's uncle used to call KISS, The KISS...LOL

Would like to see a three hour lecture on this subject from Mr Bridges

Brilliant comparison there Jeff. Though I'm more of a Reservoir Dogs guy, he's absolutely right about Pulp Fiction.

If Pulp Fiction was an album it would be OK Computer by Radiohead.

I agree. Snatch had that effect on me as well.

Jeff Bridges should be in a Tarantino movie one day.

Jeff Bridges compares PULP FICTION to an Etch-A-Sketch

Rest in peace Dude.

Etch A Sketch. Brilliant observation.

Great comparison. Long live the Dude.

I love tarantino and the Talking Heads

Well put. The Talking Heads and Pulp Fiction is a great comparison.

Amen Dude!

Dude was scary as hell in the vanishing They need a remake of Death Proof... With him playing a geriatric Stuntman Mike.

one movie Jeff Bridges was in no body talks about Arlington Road i liked it very underrated movie.

This clip is great, if you're into the whole brevity thing.

That’s a good comprehension

if you watch it again now...you'll feel like you've seen it all before in a bunch of other movies...that's what happens with a classic...it changed everything after it

What movies have done what Jeff describes as starting afresh, being without previous compare and influencing generations thereafter? Citizen Kane in 1941, Kubrick's A Space Odyssey in 1968, Pulp Fiction in 1994...feels like we're due another one!

Well said.

Tarantino was definitely burning down the house in Inglorious Basterds.

Jeff Bridges ❣⚘💖💞🌟

By the way it's Talking Heads, not The Talking Heads. Stop Making Sense is a classic.

Wait , what day is this ?

"That's a music group. The Talking Heads you know" Yes Jeff, we know.

He's the DUDE!!!

Jeff Bridges...his intellect, his perspective, his approach, his energy, his talent...amazing!! And those beautiful, mesmerizing, light-filled, curious, blue eyes!!!! I can't take it!

😂👍 Great!

The film is still standing the test of time

after seeing the title, how can you not be compelled to watch the vid?

Greatest movie ever made!

now the question remains...WHEN will Jeff Bridges be in a Tarantino movie..??

Well the lead singer of The Talking Heads has Aspergers maybe Quinton is on the spectrum too but the whole non linear storytelling is a concept similar to "stop making sense" the mind has to jump back and forth to understand the story. That film had a good soundtrack too which also affects an audience more than just action and dialogue. Inglorious Bastards for instance really only has that one Bowie song which makes the revenge of the big face scene the most impactful. Now Pulp Fiction is pop culture for my generation of teens nostalgic really in a way someone that views it for the first time now in 2023 won't know it didn't play the soundtrack at their house parties either probably didn't see NBK in 94 ish either that was a cultural phenomenon too soundtrack arranged by Trent Reznor Story by Tarantino Directed by Oliver Stone cult classic for sure now.

The Dude was really trying to swim to the surface here.

I've heard it used like The Pink Floyd,and there's nothing more quaint than this...two e's, eg; Thee Midniters

@MoltenPlastic I think it's aged marvelously well. Besides, it's only like 15 years old.

the dude likes the talking heads...would not have guessed that

I would love to see a Tarantino Bridges movie

Jeff Bridges has to love CBGB then, if only for The Talking Heads. 🌱

He was great as The Dude, but Fat City and The Last Picture Show are my favourite movies Jeff Bridges starred in.

Legend 🌹

"Yeah. Well. That's, uh like, your opinion man."

A music group, you know, the Talking Heads.

The Dude!!!!

I think the Coen Brothers had their own quirky unique style long before Pulp Fiction. Right from their first film they had something unique.

This video is just like, his opinion, man.

Bridges shoud be in there too

the dude's got good taste

so much that I bet many did not realize that the dude is one of the bad guys in iron man

Where's his hair? It really tied his face together.

He gave us all the middle finger :P

He should be cast in the next Tarantino film

What a simple but brilliant way to explain two great arts..

Real recognize real

The Dude abides Pulp Fiction.

Backstage.

@MoltenPlastic i think it has aged well but when it came out it was like the generation x crime movie however anyone who sees it for the first time will still usually be greatly affected by it

The name of this band is Talking Heads.

Shit, Lightfoot is alive!

I'm pretty sure he mean't Magna-doodle, but I get what he means.

Talking Heads? I thought he liked country and roots rock like The Band, Stones, Dylan and Creedence. He hates The Eagles, that I know.

Never heard anyone call them 'The' Talking Heads before. Is this some kind of Eastern thing?

Talking Heads, no article needed

Well, that's just like, your opinion, man.
