  • Finally got around to seeing Kill Bill Vol. 1, pretty damn sweet movie.   Just as violent as everybody said it was.  My impression of it was that it was like a live-action anime movie.

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>To me, that's what Kill Bill was missing. If it had the dialogue to the level of Pulp Fiction or Reservior Dogs, it would be the best of the Tarantino films</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Oh, I completely agree. The movie is ironic, exciting, and wickedly humorous--a send-up of jingoism played for both laughs and seriousness. It really is a marvel.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>If it's a Tarantino film with Tarantino written all over it, how can it not be compared? I liked Kill Bill, but only as a sort of absurd comedy--I cannot for a moment take any of it seriously. Pulp Fiction, I think, has much more depth and coherence.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Kill Bill is a different type of movie from Pulp Fiction even though they both have Tarantino's signature style. Kill Bill is the type of movie I enjoy most when it is done properly (kung-fu/samurai/martial arts/etc.), and Kill Bill does it more properly than any other. I said I don't like to compare the two directly because I do love Pulp Fiction for many reasons and I don't want to belittle my enjoyment of it just because I happen to prefer Kill Bill.</div>
