Well, Volume 1 its self was 1hr 54min, so I was assuming that Vol. 2 would be close to the same, leaving the total movie length near 3 1/2 - 4 hours.... Atleast I hope anyways... (Can't have too much of a good thing... ) Does any one have the official word on the total movie length?
I agree with with Nomar on the point that the plot is simple to this point, but do expect it to be more complicated in Vol 2. So far, the movie has only established two things 1) Uma's character seeks revenge. 2) Uma's character is capable of extracting this revenge. I totally enjoyed this movie even though its plot is pretty simple so far. It is very well executed if you like the style of the movie. I see QT's work like an opera...you either love it or you hate. I plan to see Kill Bill in a week (or two) blind folded. Movies appeal to two senses (Thank God Smell-O-Vision never caught on) and as far as action movies go, QT is the best with using the soundtrack to get the audience into the movie.
I've already seen a QT interview that basically says there will be separate DVD releases of Kill Bill 1 and 2, followed by future rereleases with extra features. I have a feeling that the followup releases will feature the Japanese version of the movie that have been hinted at by the actors (color Crazy 88 scene, disfigured Sophie scenes).
I saw it again, it's still badass even though there's no way that Vernita's daughter is only 4 years old. Especially if she's coming back from school.
Did anyone catch what the Bride's name was? I thought they said "Beatrice" or "b**** t***", I'm not sure.
Nah, she's only known as "The Bride," notice them bleeping out her name when she meets with Vernita...
Here's the thread I remembered it from: http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=47928 At the time, I couldn't believe anybody would trust Bruckheimer to do LotR and immediately discarded your opinions on movies. I see your tastes have changed, though.
I know they beeped it, but I went and saw it again and tried to read their lips, and it looked like either "b**** t***" or "Beatrice".
The comment about Bay was made tongue in cheek. I was emphasizing my point about having ANYBODY else do the movies.
Are you sure? What if it was directed by Richard Linklater? Not that Afleck's character was likeable......far from it.....but I thought he did a pretty good job.
To tell you the truth, I didn't even think of Dazed and Confused. But thinking back on it, you could take his character from Armageddon, Good Will Hunting, or Sum of All Fears and plug it in there and you wouldn't see much difference.
I thought he was pretty good in both Changing Lanes and Boiler Room (though Boiler Room was a small part and essentially just Alec Baldwin from Glengarry Glen Ross, though not as good).
Pretty damn good, you almost got it if the interview with V. Fox I read was accurate (which the conversation between Oren and the Bride strongly suggests it is).
Speaking of Quentin: http://www.empireonline.co.uk/news/news.asp?story=5083 Pulp Fiction Sequel To Go Ahead Tarantino plans to reunite cast for follow-up 14/10/2003 Currently on fire as Kill Bill tears up the London box office, Quentin Tarantino has revealed that he may soon turn his talent to a sequel film for his most impressive work, Pulp Fiction. Talking to New Zealand's Aotearoa News, Tarantino bemoaned the death of his previously-mooted prequel project, The Vega Brothers but indicated that the characters may yet live on in sequel form. "[The Vega Brothers] is something I always planned on doing, but other projects took precedence. Ten years on , John Travolta's getting older, Michael's getting older. I don't think they'd even want to do it. Not that that's the last hope audiences have of seeing more of Vic or Vincent Vega. There's an idea I have a Pulp Fiction follow-up. Sequels generally suck, so it's nothing I want to rush into. But Bottom line the studio wants it, the fans want it. I'm sure I can compromise somewhere. It'd be my way of apologizing for never getting Vega Brothers off the ground I guess." The fact that both Vega brothers have been riddled with bullets at one time or another does not deter the director, who plans to press on regardless of the laws of mortal life and causality. "We could get John, we could get Michael, and we could get Sam and Tim...everyone back. It would be interesting to see whatever happened to Jules and his plans to 'walk the earth'. Hey, just having Michael and John in the same frame would be great. They're great. But that said, I got to write such a thing." We'd donate vital organs to see it but something tells us we shouldn't hold our breath.
Don't bump into anything. Man, a "sequel/prequel" of Pulp Fiction would be awesome. I hope he does it.
