‘Pulp Fiction’ in 6 hand drawings and other fun time wasters

This is from the LA-based illustrator and art teacher Paul Rogers.

It’s part of a series of fun drawings he’s done on his blog for a game he’s calling ‘Name That Movie.’ Which is the exact name of a show that I pitched to MTV in 1999, along with an offshoot called ‘Name That Video’ (’cause, you know, they used to play music). And in typical Hollywood style, they said, “No thanks, asshole” to my face and then rushed a show called, let’s see if I can remember here… was it…? That’s right, it was ‘Name That Video.’ They didn’t even bother changing the freaking name! Die, MTV! Die!

Anyway, these things happen. Ask anybody who’s spent any real time out there. But that was another life ago. And the show I actually gave a crap about – ‘Name That Movie‘ – never happened. But now Paul Rogers has brought the idea into the internet age with his blog. And Pulp Fiction is an easy one. Most of the other drawings left me scratching my head. Check it out here.

    About Me

    According to my mother, I've quit more jobs than most people have ever had. In addition to "Closely Watched," I contribute film centric writing to Nylon and Nylon Guys magazines and "Inside Movies" over at Moviefone.com. Before the internet existed, I lived in Cali, dabbled in film, and rode tacos trucks. My films have been seen at Cannes, Seattle, Telluride, LA and other festivals, and are available on DVD, iTunes and select airplanes. My fiction has appeared in Zoetrope All-Story Magazine, Mississippi Review, Alaska Quarterly, and other literary journals. Follow me on Twitter! It's fun!

    What I'm Up To

    Closely Watched is on hiatus

    Closely Watched will be on hiatus for the summer. Thanks to everyone who’s made this page what it is. While I’m gone, all the posts will remain available and comments will be addressed (though perhaps not in a super timely fashion). See you again soon!
