Most guys,
especially geek guys, dream that one day they will be involved in a terrible
situation where they have to rise to the occasion. As a part of this fantasy we
tend to hope that while that incident is happening we will be able to deliver
an epic badass monolog. After years of watching action movies where our heroes
challenge the bad guys all while being aloof and witty we have it ingrained
that hopefully we will be able to do that too one day.
For one
movie geek who has spent too much time watching these action movies that dream
finally came true. A man down in Arizona this month stopped a couple of thieves
who were trying to rob a café that he was dinning in. How did he do it? He
stopped them dead in their tracks when they tried to take his wallet by quoting
the Tarantino classic Pulp Fiction
Paul Horner
was standing there in the middle of a situation that was about to go south when
he had a choice, bend over backwards or take a stand. He was contemplating what
to do when he got a flash of inspiration from none other than his wallet, a
replica pulp fiction wallet. It was in this moment that he began to quote the famous
monolog done by Samuel L Jackson during the scene of similar circumstances.
I bet that Paul went home thanked whatever God he prays to, crossed that off of his Bucket list and then probably threw on the film itself, because in all reality that is what I would probably do. I wonder if Quinten Tarantino or Samuel L Jackson heard about this if they would call him and congratulate him on this accomplishment because that would be more than awesome.
This strange
news story is the perfect example of how a geekdom can change your life for the
better. If it had not been for this man’s love of film he would not have had a
muse to motivate him into action and save the day. I am sure if interviewed
this man would recommend the film because it was a life changing experience for
him.
Check out
the Movie: Pulp Fiction
And what
scene am I talking about, well if you don’t mind spoiling the movie for
yourself then check it out here.
Spoiler Alert:
Oh man now I
really want to watch this film like no other.
Sincerely
Urban Yeti
