Yeah, those were the days.
:thumbsup:
(I'm kidding - I like the 'new and improved' Hudson. Please don't nuke me. Please)
i;ll nuke you fur master..... keep your whiny crap at the door! 
While I am a fan of him, I strongly disagree with this statement.
As mentioned earlier, sometimes a stain on the wall is just a stain on the wall. Without debating "what is art", lets not confuse coolness with artistic value.
but also, dont get so distracted by the glitz, that you miss the real passion he has, writing. his stories are more complex than i think most people give him credit for. Read the scripts.
The boy shouldn't try to act, though.

I think you're responding to something I posted in relation to what TC said. I was suggesting that whatever he saw in Kill Bill in terms of symbolism, etc., might have been read into it, and not something QT intended. Much like the speech you posted from Sleep With Me could have been reading a bit too much into what Top Gun was about.
Or it could have been dead on.
As for his education, what does it matter in terms of making film? He has seen many movies (borrowed from a few), thought about them and read up on the subject. He loves film, and followed his passion.
Did graduating highschool make guys like Uwe Boll good directors?
Billy Pilgrim
Stye in my eye
So the 50 greatest directors list... I personally think Kubrick should be number one, but Hitchcock is not far off. I just watched Rope today. What underrated masterpiece. Everyone always talks about Psycho, or Vertigo, Rear Window, etc, and they're great, mind you, absolute classics. But Rope doesn't seem to get enough attention. Brilliant film with some amazing performances and camera work, with long takes, made mostly to look as if the film is occurring in real time (with the exception of a few conventional cuts). And of course, Jimmy Stewart is great as usual.

I've come to appreciate Kubrick much more than in my past Pilgrim
Heh heh. I'm dealing with much bigger monsters these days :lipsrseal
LMAO.
Oh yeah. I remember I used to make lil' Reaper pictures of banned asshats.
I agree.
Of course it was reading into it too much. It sure seems that way though. Even Val Kilmer has remarked about the 'truthness' in that speech. :cheesy:
No less. QT has skills in my eyes. Bring on the bastards

He's like QT for me...some of his stuff I really like, some not so much.
Yeah, that is what makes speeches like that so good...they do sorta make sense. And in this case, you know what they say about macho overcompensation...By the way, Kilmer is under-rated, in my opinion.
Sure he has skills. I'm still a fan, in spite of some of the crappier stuff he makes. No less, it's a long way from having skills to being one of the top dozen directors of all time.

Doc was the role he was born to play...he'll never ever top it.
Have you seen him lately...damn did he pork up!

And he probably tells everyone it's "for a role".
