Question:

What's a worse fate: Getting whacked like Joe Pesci did @the end of Casino, or being the Gimp in Pulp Fiction?

I can still hear the sounds of those bats going to work, but then again, waking up to that bearded Hillbillie and Zed wouldn't be too nice either...


Answers:

Let me answer your question directly, before I pontificate and break your concentation*

I'll say Pesci- for dying more painfully and being less of a freak. (at least Pesci's character acknowledged the possibility for sudden,vicious violence amidst the life those guys lead, not waiting for innocent strangers to fly into their web)

But..

Yeah, those metal bats made some permanently etched sounds (sort of ringing-thumps) in my brain too, but I kinda felt like Pesci deserved it in Casino. It was harder to watch him watch his brother get it the same way. ( He seemed to be in more pain watching his brother get hit than from the hits themselves.) But he was quite the b88stard in that film.
Whereas in Goodfellas, Pesci's character Tommy, volatile as he was, I still felt really bad for ( I almost teared up when Deniro lost it at the phone booth).

As for The Gimp, I got the impression that, he wasn't a captive of these freaks, rather some sort of willing voyeur-leather-fetish-coffin- freak who was into some sort of sex subculture that I hope doesn't exist. (Men who love being voyueristic leather-bound- shackled-box dwelling-mute-slaves to hetero(?)-redneck-racist guys-who love to capture/rape/torture-straight guys-in pawn-shops???) Maybe this was the onset of the new "Torture-Porn" films (Hostel, Captivity).
The worse fate for The Gimp was probably that he was killed, though quickly, by Butch via samurai sword. Maybe he should've gone with the chainsaw?)

Marcellus will live, but I'm sure that those 2 minutes of forced entry were no day at the beach!

Personally, I vote for Zed having the worst fate (albeit deserved maybe). I mean after those searing, white hot steel balls of shot ripped into/off his man-area, Marcellus explains in detail, that whats in store for him next will involve more guys - with pliers and blowtorches, -God knows what else - Medieval, indeed!
