Again, sweeping reactions with absolutely no basis in anything resembling fact. When you're uninformed, you're much better off staying quiet. I'm not quite sure why somebody would go around proudly shouting "I'm uninformed! I have no idea what I'm talking about!" Since you can tell so much from commercials, you should save a fortune by never having to go to the movies.

"Hey Dhark, did you see The Matrix?"
"Totally lame."
"Really? I liked it. You didn't even like the lobby scene?"
"Lobby scene? Did they show that in the commercial?"

Tarantino happens to be one of the great writer/directors of our time. I get some perverse amount of pleasure knowing that there are small minded people out there judging his films without ever seeing them. You should print this thread out for posterity, make a pact with yourself to read it on your 25th birthday. I'll bet I'd be able to hear you smack yourself in the head from wherever in the country I happen to be on that day.

You'd have to see one of his films to realize whether or not you get it. How is this point lost?

I'm not saying ALL of his movies suck, I'm just saying that Kill Bill 1&2 look retarded.

But you haven't seen it! It's one thing to say that the commercial doesn't interest you, it's another altogether to talk about plot/action/acting from the 60 seconds of the film you've actually seen. He makes an homage to grindhouse flicks, you apparently have no understanding of exactly what genre he is paying respect to or why the way he films certain items are even considered homage.

It's only at 90% fresh over at Rotten Tomatoes at the moment, if I were you I'd write those critics a letter and help them understand what they're missing.

Dhark, novel idea for you. Clear your head, go out to the video store then rent and watch Vol 1 with an open mind (it's out on DVD now). After you're done, and can at the very least give an informed opinion, come back and give your honest opinion. Keep the "open mind" thing firmly in view and try not to let your preemptive judgment of the movie (which seems to be based soley on a sixty secod preview) cloud what reasonable judgment you have though, or it'll be a wasted effort.

Do you actually see the people get sliced up? Or is it always hidden? Or does she just simply knock the swords outta thier hands and the baddies run away?

Indeed. Indeed you do. And dear Jesus is it ever bloody.


My mom, who has never seen it/would HATE it, actually went out and bought Vol. 1 today for some reason. I'm happy I didn't have to buy it myself (which i would have willingly done).

I may see it tomorrow. Prepare for a critical review, as I am critical of anything popular.

The gun katas. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.

Q's huge chin and my massive head form 2 angles of a trifecta to destroy the world. It's anyone's guess what huge male body part will create the 3rd.

Yup. Something like 200+ gallons of fake blood used in filming...

I will be seeing this at 1 today, they're closing my office early to move everybody's desks around. I really liked (didn't love) the first one, but from what I've heard this one will be more my speed anyhow. I'm stoked.
