I see that I've started a riot while I was offline! To be fair, I've only watched the Kill Bill films once...but once was more than enough

Do you like any other Tarantino films apart from Jackie Brown?

Yeah, I've written a post about my opinion of his movies which is earlier in the thread. Jackie Brown just happens to be one of my all time favourite films. I think that it's underrated by most people - especially other Tarantino fans - which is why I tend to jump to its defence.

I finally watched KB1 last night on Fletnix. I think, if you like KB, you like it because Tarantino is all about directorial style and paying homage to the classic scenes in the genre of martial arts cinema. If you *don't* like KB it's likely because it's only about directorial style and paying homage to the classic scenes in the genre of martial arts cinema. I loved and I mean LOVED KB1 before it got to Tokyo (and to a lesser degree Okinawa), winced a little during the central scene in there, but loved the ending.

Spoiler for JIC you haven't seen KB1:
There was enormous "plot" holes (with full recognition that the movie doesn't care) in the hospital scene when The Bride rips the lower lip/tongue off the rapist before smashing Buck's head with the heavy door (AND the one being the same as the scene in Pasadena, BTW I swear I've been to that house, my ex's sister's place looked IDENTICAL to that home), that being....is this some universe with no police? She got into Buck's "Pussy Wagon" and seemingly spent the night in that ride without swarms of cops searching for the perpetrator of two BLOODY murders, lol. Plus where does she get airfare to Okinawa?

I don't intend the above to be taken as criticism, I'm completely aware that Tarantino doesn't GAF about keeping tight plotlines here, it's all about look and feel and style, and he does that brilliantly. Even with that, I was wincing a bit in the Crazy 88's scene (I fecking LOVED the Japanese girl band in the scenes leading up to it), again recognizing it's only about style and homage, but come on. (I'm not a martial arts movies fan but I'm sure that the scene is paying tribute to a certain martial arts film, I could Google it but wtf, doesn't really matter).

However, I loved the scene that follows, in the Japanese garden between The Bride and O-Ren. Now THAT is pure stylism.


Gonna watch KB2 today.

I would put PF, IB, & JB in that order ahead of KB, RD just below it, I still haven't seen DU. I have yet to not enjoy a Tarantino film.

I prefer KB 2 though KB1 has better fights, the 2nd one is the conclusion and becomes more about the story not just the fighting.

My fav movies are







Also Animatrix which imo is better than all 3 Matrix films.

I think Django Unchained and Inglorious Basterds outshine all of Tarantino's earlier stuff. Extremely unpopular opinion. But yeah.

My top five favourite movies are...

8 1/2 (Federico Fellini)
The Apartment (Billy Wilder)
Mulholland Drive (David Lynch)
Before Sunrise - Before Sunset - Before Midnight (Richard Linklater)
Hiroshima, Mon Amour (Alain Resnais)

Probably the five films that influenced me the most as a filmmaker too!
