Query: Lots of Potential But Way Too Self-Conscious

I totally did not hate this film. The art direction is outstanding, especially in the claustrophobic diner and the gas station, but also in Mel's mission-cum modern den, which perfectly reflected my confusion about this movie's attempts to straddle eras and genres. The soundtrack, which includes the Kills, the Sweet, and Johnny Preston, is just as eclectic and confused. Great music, but awkwardly cobbled together.I don't begrudge this film its influences, but, again, combining Taratino's gimmicky visuals with Kevin Smith's over-written dialogue produces an overall effect that I think might be a bit more clumsy than what was intended, and what you end up with is the cinematic equivalent of an emo-hipster whose anachronistic facial hair ruins every bit of irony he was going for with the members only jacket.
