Cheers for the heads up on the dvd! I'm going to see if I can order it now. It must be at least 25 years I've been wanting to see this again.

so what are everyone's thoughts on the 2 Kill Bill films? i recently rewatched both back to back and absolutely loved the first but found vol.2 to be a bit of a mess editing wise. The first should have been his entry into the Grindhouse experiment... |

Love them both. I don't think it works that well if you watch them back-to-back since it never picks up the momentum gained from the House of Blue Leaves scene which is utterly spectacular. I still really like Volume 2 a lot though. I don't for a minute believe Bill reads Superman comics though. That bit always came across as a bit crow-barred. He seems to miss the point somewhat and I'm not sure if that's intentional on Tarantino's behalf. |

I think that Tarentino is (to use a quote by Stephen Fry) an arse of the highest order.

I agree with you Mechagodphilla, that he just rips-off other films and that he is a non-original director.

I did like the performances from both Darryl Hannah and Sonny Chiba. Other than that, though, I thought they were awful films. Unfocussed hodge-podges of genre styles that episodically clash with each other, a trite and uninteresting story centred around Uma Thurman's most cardboard performance yet. And the anime cartoon section in Part 1 actually made me angry. It was completely unnecessary and was only there because it could be. NONE of the other assassin characters had such a huge proportion of film time given over to their backstory, so why the Japanese one? It was cringe-inducing and I very nearly walked out of the cinema when it popped up. Awful, childish fanboy film-making that did nothing to serve the narrative and broke up the film stylishtically. Dreadful. OK, so maybe it made people go back and check out Thriller and Lady Snowblood and so on and so on, but that makes it an advert, not a film. Tarantino's hugest folly and a very bad film/a pair of very bad films. I'll stick with Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs! |
