Agree with the consensus: The Wolf lives in a world in which we do not. Oh, sure, there are many similarities, but his set of rules are different.

He’s even cool enough to go out to breakfast in a tux with the junkyard hottie dressed in work clothes and make it look natural and desireable.

It’s a pleasure to watch him work!

You all do know that the junkyard hottie is Julia Sweeny, don’t you?

Yep, it’s Pat!

…

Living in Los Angeles for a few years and working in the entertainment field, I always took it that The Wolf was part of the movie industry. In L.A., there is INCESSANTLY some self-congratulating party going on (like The Oscars). There’s so many that people own tuxedos because they wear them so often.

I just assumed it was an Oscar after party and cocaine was the main attraction … as it always is … and people were dressed like that at 8 AM because … well, I’ve been to coke parties where it’s 50 hours later and … you still have the same clothes on.

Just check your next movie credit:

Special Effects Technician : Winston Wolf

JB

[Here’s](http://www.imdb.com/media/rm723419136/nm0842140) a picture of the two. I’d take her out for breakfast. Harvey can come too, if he wants.

Another example. I don’t care how much of a badass you are, unless you are monster trucking over the traffic at red lights, you can’t get somewhere that quick. But this is Pulp Fiction, so of course the Wolf can get there in nine minutes and 38 seconds.

> There’s a scene in “Kill Bill” where Uma Thurman is on a plane coming back from Okinawa, and she’s got her new sword with her on the plane. Many people pointed out that this seemed unlikely in a world where they won’t let you take anything sharper than a beach ball onto a plane. Tarantino acknowledged this and said words to the effect of “That’s absolutely correct, but the world of Kill Bill is not the real world, it’s a fantasy world. In that world, you’re allowed to take your sword with you on a plane. And if it’s a Japanese airline, they have a thing in your seat to hold your sword.”

That scene bugged the crap out of me, in a movie with school girl assassins wielding giant maces! I don’t know why, it just seemed to go too far.

Like the show Supernatural, if there was a scene of the leads polishing their shotguns on a commercial airliner. In a show set in a America thats so strange its like it was made by people who had never been there, but got the gist of it from a Matlock episode, fighting demons and vampires. Its takes it from the realm of the vaguely plausible into totally impossible.

No, he would get one of those “Special Thanks” at the end of the credit roll.

As plausible as a four-year-old thread can be.
