longest strecht wuthout dialogue or music in a Tarantino/Smith movie
yeah, I was thinking about it in the other thread
it may be interesting to know what's the longest stretch without dialogue or music in a Quentin Tarantino or Kevin Smith movie.
Mayben it would be easier in Tarantino's case, although the no music clause can make it harder.
I don't have any candidates right now

Find out which has the longest closing credits, and you'll have your answer.

It's a long quiet stretch in Pulp Fiction when Butch goes back to the apartment to reclaim his watch.

strecht? wuthout? Crazy.
Just wanted to add my 2 cents: I don't particulary find any sequence without dialogue better than with. I'm a huge fan of dialogue and try to create the best dialogue when writing scripts.

Film is a visual medium. Dialogue is important but on an equal basis with imagery, music, etc. A skilled director can tell their story without dialogue. Maybe not the entire film, but certainly parts/scenes.
Hell, back in the day, their was NO dialogue. And look at some of the masterpieces of silent film.
On a side note: Can we lay off the bitchin' at people for mispellings/typing errors? This in an internet forum. If you can tell what they're getting at, let it go!

Well, except for the typo thing. People who can't spell or type deserve to be publicly ridiculed...

Though Tarantino definately uses lots of scenes without dialogue. Say in Kill Bill when The Bride is in the coffin. Nothing but sound effects, no dialogue or music (well, music cues in later). Hell, you can barely see anything either.

If anything, I'm sure it would sharpen your skills as a script writer. Just an idea.
