Kill Bill Series

Briceman ?

I disagree that Kill Bill was shallow in depth.

Think of this following example (from the wonderful world of Wiki)

In cinematic order:
  • Chapter One: (2)
  • Chapter Two: The blood-splattered BRIDE
  • Chapter Three: The Origin of O-Ren
  • Chapter Four: The MAN From OKINAWA
  • Chapter Five: Showdown at House of Blue Leaves
  • Chapter Six: Massacre at Two Pines
  • Chapter Seven: The lonely grave of Paula Schultz
  • Chapter Eight: The Cruel Tutelage of Pai Mei
  • Chapter Nine: ELLE and I
  • Last Chapter: Face to Face
In rough chronological order:
  • Chapter Three: The Origin of O-Ren
  • Chapter Eight: The Cruel Tutelage of Pai Mei
  • Chapter Six: Massacre at Two Pines
  • Chapter Two: The blood-splattered BRIDE
  • Chapter Four: The MAN From OKINAWA
  • Chapter Five: Showdown at House of Blue Leaves
  • Chapter One: (2)
  • Chapter Seven: The lonely grave of Paula Schultz
  • Chapter Nine: ELLE and I
  • Last Chapter: Face to Face
Just reading the plot description here reminds me of the complexity of the story. Read the page !

Ok, I see your point. Maybe it isn't so shallow, but still not a fan. Just not my thing I guess. Glad you all like it!
 
OK, I just got done watching Kill Bill Vol. 2 again (I'm home from work sick today) and I have finally figured out what is the best line in the history of Tarantino writing. For as great as the Walken speach in Pulp Fiction is, for as brilliant as the Zed dead from Pulp Fiction, for as great as the Like a Virgin is from Res. Dogs, for as strong as the whole, '$hit man, I'm a Natural Born Killer" from NBK, and for as incredible it is seeing Walken and Hopper square off with the 'you've never seen evil so perfectly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you' speach from True Romance...

At the end of Kill Bill

Bill: "How do I look?"

Bride: "Ready."

That sums up this entire film and is why QT is the man.

I love KB 1 and 2 -- it was amazing to watch those in packed theatres when they came out. I've seen each one twice. I'm holding out for special edition DVDs.
 
Last I heard they are going to release voulume 1 and 2 cut together in the theatre at the end of the year and then the dvd's will come out in 2007.
 
I never heard that, but I would go see it again theatrically. I think these are brilliant movies and I can't wait to see what QT does next.

Tarantino is more than respectable as a director...

But I give him the highest of praise as a writer (one of the best of the last 20 odd years...if not the best.)

I agree, but in my opinion he is the best writer director working today. M. Night is far far behind in talent, style, and balls.

I agree.

M Night needs to grow a pair.

Tarantino is indeed the best filmmaker working today. The ballsiest, the gutsiest, the most creative, the most original.

Then who ?
First off...I could see his being
The ballsiest, the gutsiest
argued (and a strong argument it is.)

But (as a filmmaker, not as a writer) the best, the most creative and the most original?


Damn...off the top of my head I'd say the best working today:
Spielberg
-then-
Mel Gibson
-then-
Ridley Scott
-then-
a few other names
-then-
Tarantino probably around #6 or #7
 
Mel Gibson?

Not with 2 features under his belt and one not even in this language. He's not even in the top 20.

Yes, Braveheart is one of the best of the ninties, but that's all.

Okay okay Callaghan

-

I love the work of Gibson, Spielberg, Scorsese, DePalma, M Knightshbangagong get it on bang a gong and on and on and on ...

But Tarrantino is the only filmmaker that excites me. Steve is the master, pure and simple but always stays true to the demands of Hollywood. Gibson is a stud; I am a huge fan of Mel onscreen and behind the glass but Quentin is the one working filmmaker that makes me just want to make films.

It's hard to Quantify. I'm not disrespecting the other guys; Spielberg is the reason I want to make films in the first place, but QT continues to breathe life into my soul.

I disagree. I think when all is said and done, history will remember Gibson even more as a director than as an actor (keep in mind, he's got alot o' films left in him...he's barely 50). This is true IMO even more so than Clint (who will always be remembered equally as an actor as well)
