kill bill??

[atari2600]

this is a tarantino movie? has uma in it but i swear while watching this preview (before phone booth) i was like 'no effing way' (because they tell you its a taratino film before it starts...)

its like a cross between sleeping tiger, hidden dragon (or whatever its called) and matrix.

tarantino? am i missing something here?

it looks pretty good though.

[caiman]

Where have you been for the last two years?

[atari2600]

i dunno...i just think of pulp fiction and reservoir dogs...

what has he directed recently (i have no idea! )

[caiman]

His last movie was Jackie Brown in 1997. Kill Bill is his big "comeback" movie ( ), and has been rumored about and discussed for quite a while now.

[atari2600]

ok whats the problem with me being shocked at him making a film like this - jackie brown totally supports my case even further. just because im not aware of the latest tarantino rumors doenst make me wrong.

No problem really, it just means you aren't a huge internet geek who spends all your time looking stuff up about directors and movies and upcoming projects and whatnot like the rest of us. Tarantino, as is widely known, has always had big love for old kung-fu movies and has always wanted to make one. He finally did and here it is.

I'm excited for it personally cuz I'm a geek.

I didn't really mean to make it sound like you were wrong or something. Did I suggest that somehow?

OMG YOU MEAN KILL BILL DOESNT HAVE A BUNCH OF FOUL MOUTHED CRIMINALS TALKING ABOUT CULT TV SHOWS!?!?!!? SCREW THAT! Tarantinos movies dont have to be all the same. If you watch that trailer and it doesnt seem tounge-in-cheek to you then you have serious problems. This film looks great.

[atari2600]

nah, sorry.

i need to improve my internet geekiness i guess

yo screw you and your own problems. i said it looks good. and most directors usually have similar styles through out their films. they deviate but nothing like this.

calm down.

Francis Ford Coppola - The Godfather, Jack

Stanley Kubrick - Sparticus, 2001

Martin Scorsese - Cape Fear, Age of Innocence

Peter Jackson - Bad Taste, Lord of the Rings

David Lynch - Eraserhead, The Straight Story

Sam Raimi - Evil Dead, Spiderman


I think you get the point.

Yeah, we get the point that you're not cutting the kid any slack.

For each director that takes such huge leaps there are four or five that never try anything new.

And RyoHazuki7--for all you know, Kill Bill could contain a bunch of rants by foul-mouthed killers on the topic of pop culture.

Hey, if someone says something I can argue with, I'll argue it. He seems like a tough guy, he can handle it.

I didn't see any prieveiw of this during phone booth.

Nice attitude.

I just watched the trailer at www.kill-bill.com and i can see what atari2600 is responding to. The trailer doesn't look like a Tarantino movie at all. It's two minutes of sword fighting without a scrap of dialogue and looks more like Charlie's Angels than Pulp Fiction. BUT, having said that, Tarantino has not made a bad film yet, not even close. So I'm not going to make any judgements based on this trailer. If that's how they want to sell it then that's how they want to sell it.

If anyone is interested, here is the script

yeah i can handle it and i was going to say the exact same thing he did. there are always exceptions but they dont make the rule.

this movie is NOTHING like his other stuff and i was shocked. whats the big deal?

Unless they decided to go with a different script then it doesn't. I read it and I'm not holding my breath. No witty dialogue, a predictable story, and a ridiculous over the top cameo of QT himself.

Did I make it seem like a big deal?

Oh, maybe I should have added a big to show that my comment wasn't all that serious.

[jough]

Kill Bill is just foreplay to get Q's juices flowing and get him back on his game as a director again. It's his follow-up to it that I'm excited about.

It looks to be a fun movie, as long as you bring some crackers with you to the theatre to go with that cheese.

Considering the inspiration it seems to be drawing from, the movie looks like a load of fun. It looks like a less over-the-top (yes its possible) rendition of Fudoh: The New Generation... This was actually triggered by seeing Chigusa from Battle Royale spinning a spiked ball around in a school girl outfit.

And considering the fact it may supposidly be a 3 hour movie (or 2 x 1.5 hour movies.), I can't friggin' wait. (from imdb a few months ago.)

Sam Raimi - Evil Dead, Spiderman

I think you get the point.

...bad example.

Care to explain why?

[cultshock]

I can't wait to see it!! It looks like a big homage/love letter to all the exploitation films Tarantino grew up on (kung-fu films, chambara eiga, it being a loose remake of "They Call Her One Eye", etc).

I've read half the script (I had to stop myself, because I wanted to be somewhat surprised with the film) and when you read the dialogue, it definitely seems like a Tarantino film.
