Kill Bill Series

I saw a Charlie Rose interview with QT when Jackie Brown came out and Rose asked him what his three living directors that influence him the most are.

He said Spielberg, DePalma, and Scorsese. He went on to describe a conversation he had with Spielberg before Private Ryan came out and Spielberg told him "I'm going to make the greatest D-Day invasion of the beach at Normandy ever."

Tarantino replied... "You don't need to tell me, anything you tackle is usually the greatest ever"
 
Actually Callaghan, I was wrong when I said 2 features. He did direct "Payback" or so the rumors go. Right?

I love Payback.
 
The Passion was beautifully made...

Plus he should get mega filmmaking points for making a film that looked like it cost 5-6 times what he actually made it for (and outta his own pocket no less)
 
Gibson is a stud.

Braveheart alone is like worth 2 films it was so perfect. (No really)

-

The Passion was beautifully done (although I have always wanted to see more of the days before

OFF TOPIC:

What I really want is a remake of The Ten Commandments

ON TOPIC:

He also did THE MAN WITHOUT A FACE which, although not GREAT certainly not bad as a Rookie effort.

I think Apocalypto is going to be a player.

Love that flick.

And i too think Apocalypto will be huge.


However i also think Munich marked the return of Spielberg the Legend and i hope for more films from him and less from Hollywood Steven.

Edit:
I disagree with one comment, though...
Braveheart is worth five films at least

I agree that Braveheart is a great film, but my problem with Gibson extends way past the whole Braveheart thing. I think it started when he did the Patriot. In my opinion the only difference between Braveheart and the Patriort is:

"Unite the clans" became "Unite the militia"

Just not a big fan at all since then. I thought Passion just was an insult (not trying to open a religious discussion), but at the same time, I think that Gibson has become Gibson's biggest fan.

Personally, any day of the week I take a QT film.

I'm not sure this is a legitimate criticism of his directorial talents. His only involvement with The Patriot was at the acting level. It was directed by Roland Emmerich and produced by Dean Devlin, Mark Gordon and Gary Levinsohn.

Braveheart is the second best movie of all time, only surpassed by The Wind and the Lion.

I laughed when I read that... I guess I was just expecting a "In my opinion" prior to such a massive statement like that. I think it is a great film, but to say that it is the second greatest film ever? That's a bold statement that I don't agree with.

Henderson over Dimaggio? :evil:


btw: " I guess I was just expecting a "In my opinion" prior to such a massive statement like that." I made the statement on something as subjective as Best Movie, so obviously it's MY OPINION. That should be a given. :thumbsup:

I think he's a better director than a writer myself. I dig his writing, but at times it just gets a little too dragged out and unbelievable. It feels like you're having a nerdy conversation with "that kid" in high school. That's part of its charm, and weakness from my perspective.

Directing... damn the dude is a perfectionist. After seeing the Kill Bill's I think he's one of my favorite directors ever. I love how he doesn't just crap out a movie every year. He waits and plans like a true artist. He focuses on creating something great, and not being prolific. I respect that.
 
I'm probably the only who has done this, but I watched Vol. 2 first (I bought it used in some junk shop and there wasn't Vol.1). Well, based on Vol.2, I have no interest in bothering with Vol 1. I came away with -- what a bunch of nothing. Not exciting, not interesting, just bad all around. This is good writing? The only good thing I can say is Carradine is a better actor than I thought. But wow, why the hype? .. what a waste of time really. Yeah, I know, you all will say I must see Vol 1 before forming an opinion but no thanks. There's no way he can make up for Vol. 2. The only good QT film IMO is Dogs. I didn't care for Pulp. What can I say? I enjoy QT's interviews more than his movies.

So you saw the sequel before the original? Or in the case of Kill Bill, that's like only watching the second half of the film. What are you smoking? :Drogar-Smoke(DBG):

I'm sorry, if you sit down an hour into a film and call it crap from not watching the beginning I gotta call bullshit.
