    it's the friday after this one, the 16th i believe. because Tarantino i think spent a lot of time editing, adding scenes, and stuff.

    Too bad he couldn't "edit" this "2-parter" into one movie so I wouldn't have to waste another 6 bucks just to see the ending.

    I might be wrong but didn't the studios force him into it because the movie was going to be so long as just one part?

    so you're not going to watch these movies either right?

    **spoiler alert**


    1. the Alamo -- we all know what happened there
    2. Troy -- the Greeks take Helen back by Achilles dies
    3. Punisher -- not sure but I think he gets revenge

    Yes, but I'm an optimist.





    I'm holding out hope that somebody sabotaged the film reel and spliced in home movies of Tarantino making out with his image in a mirror, playing with his feces, building samurai swords out of his feces, etc. But then again, if Kill Bill 1 wasn't enough to prevent him from working again, nothing will.

    you sure it's not because if you don't see it, you won't be able to bash it even more and put down people who liked it?

    So does this one count as Tarantino's FIFTH movie even though it's really just one movie cut in half?

    Found: where Tarantino gets his ideas

    With his latest release, the director 'borrows' from other films more heavily than ever. Steve Rose has seen them

    Tuesday April 6, 2004
    The Guardian

    It is almost easier to list the films that haven't influenced Quentin Tarantino than those that have. The voluble director never seems to tire of pointing out all the movies he's referenced, paid tribute to, been inspired by or simply ripped off wholesale. With his latest release, Kill Bill Vol 2, Tarantino's "borrowing" has reached unprecedented proportions. The film is made almost entirely from elements of other films, mainly what Tarantino refers to as "grindhouse cinema": a catch-all term for movies that played in cheap US cinemas in the 1970s - Hong Kong martial arts flicks, Japanese samurai movies, blaxploitation films and spaghetti westerns.

    It would take a cinephile as nerdy as Tarantino himself to account for the exact details of what's being referenced when and how - and, of course, there are plenty of those. The Quentin Tarantino Archives fansite (tarantino.info) identifies some 80 movies that inspired Kill Bill, from Hitchcock's Marnie ("has the exact same nurse-walking-down-corridor scene") to Japanese retro-horror Goke: Bodysnatcher From Hell ("for the orange sunset sky behind the plane").

    Four key films playing at the ICA's Kill Bill Connection (alongside parts one and two of Kill Bill itself) are more revealing. All were made between 1972 and 1974, and the only American one is The Doll Squad, a kitsch low-budget B-movie prioritising costume and soundtrack over dramatic rigour. It was directed by the prolific Ted V Mikels, who later claimed that the TV series Charlie's Angels was directly influenced by his vision of voluptuous female agents equally versed in combat and seduction. The Doll Squad was itself indebted to Bond-like spy thrillers and the works of Russ Meyer, and it's an obvious template for Kill Bill's own female agent team, the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad.

    Well, literally, I already have. ;)

    But I'm going to walk back in when it comes out.


    Paige: That's nothing. At least with KB he admits that he is a ripoff artist. Reservoir Dogs, the movie that supposedly exposed his genius to the world, was really a rip off of some hong kong movie starring ChowYun Fat called "City on Fire".

    The guy is a complete hack, and basically got lucky with Pulp Fiction, a pretty good movie. Besides that, he's shown nothing of worth.

    Some friends in college told me about how this was the best film
    of all time. . .RESERVOIR DOGS . .

    That film turned my stomach so badly . . . I almost threw up
    I was sooo horrified and pissed out .. I turn the crap off 3 times
    BUT
    I wanted to see if it got better. . . the end was . . .adequate

    Yeah it's not that good.

    Did you like Pulp Fiction? It was better.
