Now, this really rouses my curiosity. If Kill Bill was truly "...the worst movie I've ever seen, bar none...", then what possible reason could you have had for watching Kill Bill II? :-) Trust me -- it was forced upon me! (There is a group of otherwise intelllgent people that inexplicably think that "Kill Bill" is a classic movie...) I thought of that as well. Also, Kill Bill I & II wasn't like your normal sequel. They were originally shot as one LONG movie. So what you are really saying is you didn't like the first half of the movie and did like the second half. I can say this about MANY movies. Interesting. I think I was so prepared to watch a horrible movie that my expectations were lowered to the point where "Kill Bill II" was better than I expected... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

oups.com... Trust me -- it was forced upon me! (There is a group of otherwise intelllgent people that inexplicably think that "Kill Bill" is a classic movie...) I understand those people. I have a very hard time watching any Tarantino movie. He has a violent streak a mile wide, and his idea of entertainment just doesn't mesh with mine. But, he is a true craftsman. The artistic value in his movies is there, and can be appreciated by anyone who can get past the violence. Granted, it takes a certain kind of person to be able to get past the violence, but I don't think that makes his movies any lesser. Just less comprehensible to the general public. ![]() movie, but even from the bits and pieces I caught while my wife watched it, I could see that his usual attention to character development, plot, interesting locales, and production values were all there. (Sadly, I think that in fact the "general public" is far too immune to this sort of violence...but on the bright side, it means that more people "get it" when it comes to his movies). Some of his "less-violent" films that I did really enjoy include "Jackie Brown", "Four Rooms", and "Pulp Fiction" (yeah, I know...sad that "Pulp Fiction" could be considered a "less-violent" film ![]() Pete |

Brown", "Four Rooms", and "Pulp Fiction" (yeah, I know...sad that "Pulp Fiction" could be considered a "less-violent" film ![]() The first time I watched "Pulp Fiction", I hated it -- but I was mesmerized by John Travolta's performance. His performance as a sleazy, psychopathic murderer was (IMO) amazing, and Tarantino should be given credit for casting a former teen idol in this unlikely role. Travolta really emerged as an "actor" in that film, for the first time. I've since watched it several more times, and have come to appreciate other parts of the movie, too. Samuel L. Jackson did a great job in his role, too, as did many of the lesser parts -- but it's still WAY too violent for me. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
