 Captioning and written descriptions in movies drive me up the wall.
 
 More disbelief is that she can move her upper body but not lower.... After a year in a coma you atrophy so badly it takes months to walk again, not hours.

Maybe Q solves it in a flashback in Pt.2?

 Would be even funnier if she were located in San Francisco.

That's not a woman woman, it's a man, baby. [/b]

Damn! Nothing like being out-womaned by a man!

Maybe it was just a really silly movie?

But it was a good kind of silly.

I take my entertainment seriously. If I had not got such high hopes for it, I would have probably rated it higher.
 
 But all the same:  <img src="http://www.just4yucks.com/images/general/21047.jpg" alt=" - " />

I'm yet to be disappointed by one of his directed efforts.  Pulp Fiction is just brilliant, and both Reservoir Dogs and Jackie Brown are very good.  It sort of amazes me, though, that an artistic genius like QT can be such an inarticulate burnout in person. [/b]

Ever heard of the term, "tortured genius"?
 
 I think if you look through history you'll see the greatest creative minds usually belonged to anti-social losers of society. Not saying QT is one of the greatest, but just making a point.
 
 I do like his movies though, and I think every movie he's made has been brilliant.

I'm with you there.  It's just that most tortured geniuses and anti-social losers seem to be articulate about their chosen medium, whatever it may be.  The thing that gets me about QT is not that he's troubled, but rather that he often seems unable (or unwilling) to discuss his art on an intellectual level...it's as if he just instinctively creates his art, without thought.  That's what I find so unusual about him.

So I'm a prat because I have different tastes in movies to you, just like your philosophy on music then.
 
 Maybe I'm not as movie savvy as you, or movie-hip..or was that Rhett? Markie/Rhett one in the same really.
 
 I do wonder though why QT has to talk like a  black bloke from the ghetto.....yes, I know were he was raised, but he's still white.

I'd like to give a shizzle-out to my homeboy...

Mankie, keep your hair on.....
 
 I dont think Quentin is tortured at all. I think he is a middle class tool.
 
 I gave plenty of reasons for not liking Kill bill, you did not justify your enjoyment of it at all. I found that frustrating.
 
 Please, if you can bothered, think about what you enjoyed so much about the movie. If its just chicks and fighting, I will just continue to think you are a prat.
 
 Does that make sense?

[mankie]

I like the story lines, they are very unique and "out of the box" to use a term I hate. The humour within the story cracks me up too. It's almost as if he's taking the piss out of movie making while making movies...if you know what I mean. You can tell a QT movie apart from any other.
 
 You think I'm a prat regardless though, when did you ever need to give a reason?

No not really, you're Ok normally.
 
 OK good reasons tp like it. But someow this felt closer to a pastiche to me. Closer to ot shots 2 than to pulp fiction. But that is being overly critical. I guess the deft touches were there.
 
 I think I am just frustrated by the fact that he had five years to make this movie and he his no grandiose statement to make. The big egg head has nothing to say. There is no point, moralistic or otherwise. Its just chicks fighting to street fighter 2 backgrounds.
 
 What do you think about that?

I haven't seen Kill Bill yet. We're not big movie goers so wait for stuff to come out on dvd/video. If it has Lucy Lui in it that's already a strike against it in my book though.

I personally have never been a big fan of grand statements...in any entertainment.  If I like something, I like it, regardless of the deep hidden meaning or message.  That doesn't necessarily mean I hate songs or movies with messages; sometimes it can enhance the experience.  However, I don't think they're needed to be enjoyable.
 
 As for Kill Bill, I personally loved it.  I thought the cinematography was spectacular, and really enhanced the movie.  My personal favorite part is how the feel and style of the movie changed based on what was happening (ie. becoming a kung-fu movie when she took on Lucy Lui - who, I might add, I thought was fantasic).  I'm hoping part 2 does the same as she takes on the rest.  And I really liked the story and how he presented it.  Plus, I am a sucker for old kung fu movies    
 
 One thing I love about Tarantino's movies is how fucking cool they are.  Everything about them (look, dialogue, clothes, music, etc.) is just so hip.
