Tarantino

Anybody see him on Leno last night? Purple suit, silver cane and absolutely trashed off his arse. Must have felt like the longest interview of Leno's life. Even Kevin Bacon looked embarrassed on Tarantino's behalf. And come on now…when Kevin Bacon finds you embarrassing, you KNOW you've gone off the deep end.

That being said, anybody else excited for Kill Bill?

No. Too bad. Sounds like a barrel of laughs.

Not really. Not my kind of flick.

I saw it.Leno asked him if his cane unscrewed to hide alcohol,to which Q replied,yeah Jagermeister.Man,he was smashed!

Sounds like a perfect way to get publicity for his comeback……

The trailer for it looked pretty cheesy. Anything with Lucy Liu in it and Samurai swords probably always will.

I'm yet to be disappointed by one of his directed efforts. Pulp Fiction is just brilliant, and both Reservoir Dogs and Jackie Brown are very good. It sort of amazes me, though, that an artistic genius like QT can be such an inarticulate burnout in person.

do you remember seeing him on an episode of the golden girls where he played one of about 10 crap elvis impersonators?

Playboy: You once appeared as an Elvis impersonator on The Golden Girls. Do you consider that a high point or the nadir of your acting career?

Tarantino: Well, it was kind of a high point because it was one of the few times that I actually got hired for a job. I was one of 12 Elvis impersonators, really just a glorified extra. For some reason they had us sing Don Ho's Hawaiian Love Chant. All the other Elvis impersonators wore Vegas-style jumpsuits. But I wore my own clothes, because I was, like, the Sun Records Elvis. I was the hillbilly cat Elvis. I was the real Elvis; everyone else was Elvis after he sold out.


A man with taste.

that's pretty funny…………..i like that……

but then again how did he talk his way out of the cable guy?

Walkie, you're young yet. You'll find that is quite common among many brilliant artists. How they do it, I have no clue whatsoever.

just like people you may know that are brilliant book-wise, and are just flat out genius, but have the worst common sense of all time. i don't know how you can be that smart but not be logical enough to understand simple things, but i guess that is how life is. or something.

Jackie Brown was disappointing, and nowhere near as good as his earlier efforts.. Face it, he's lost it. Warren Beatty turned down the Carradine role in Bill Kill, and that should tell you something. But then again, Robert Blake turned down the Pacino role in the first Godfather!

At least QT worked on 4 classic flicks. How many has Kevin Smith worked on?

Disagree with you on Jackie Brown…I think it's wildly underappreciated.

As for Kevin Smith, the answer is 1, but I thoroughly enjoyed the other 4 all the same.

See, I think that's strangely common, but also quite different. Book smart but life-stupid is pretty self-explanatory â?? spend all your time studying at the expense of living and you're bound to turn out silly and boring. But a guy like Tarantino is a different story…totally uneducated, yet innately brilliant. Not a logical way to approach an art-form, but awfully effective.

Kevin Smith can shit on the sidewalk, and I'll worship it as genius. I LOVE that man. I'm not saying all his work is masterpiece material, but I LOVE it. Cuz I LOVE him. Seeing a trend here?


:D

Hath thou yet seen it? Did anybody, but me, see it yet?

I will say this:

It was better than Jackie Brown, a return to Tarantino's film-school "geek chic" style.

It was better than Matrix Regurgitated. It was better than 28 Days Litter.

As per usual, the soundtrack was rather tuneful. QT, always eschewing traditional background music, this time fancies Japanese rockabilly and Quincy Jones' Ironside theme. Good choices! Gonna hafta buy it.

Bonus Points: Pussy Wagon.

Agree with you 100% Dupek. Hmmm…maybe we should hang out some time…?

I though the Matrix rewhatever and 28 Days Later were both disappointing. Kill Bill may be one of the very few flicks I've seen this year that lived up to high expectations.

And yes, the soundtrack is excellent.

big thumbs up on the kill bill soundtrack :D
but according to some whiney pants on amazon many of the good RZA musical bits are the Japanese version of the soundtrack. hmmm

i was very worried about liking the film when nerdy ticket taker blurted out "film of the year" as he torn our tickets.

personally, it was a very average film, given that fact that tarantino hasn't ever had an orginial idea. there were a couple nice touches i.e. the sunglasses on the dashboard. it seems like the type of movie nerdy geeky film types would get a hardon over because they recognize the homages in the movie.

kill bill part two and the third matrix will be dvd rentals in the kozzie household… what will the two best actors in the world, reeves and fishburne, do once the matrix has left town.

I hated Kill Bill.

If Quentin (What self respecting person is called that, anyway?) was a humanist, If he let you care for any of the characters just one little bit, then maybe it would be a different story. Actually maybe not. there was no plot and scant reasoning why anybody should do anything. Worst of all was half the scenes looked familiar, has anyone seen enter the dragon and crouching tiger hidden dragon and charlies angels. Well you have seen most of kill bill then.

It started off so promisingly too, the rape seen was the best bit. Fuckers got what they deserved.

Maybe the next part will make sense of it all, still then this should not have been a stand alone movie.

The best thing was the soundtrack.

Why then walkie, you will surely love this site. Be sure to go to the music section & download the tracks that don't appear on the OST.
