Yeah, but now they're splitting the movie into two parts... http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Movies/07/16/sprj.cas03.tarantino.ap/index.html

this pisses me off because I have no problem sitting through a three hour movie. :redfu: to all the short attention span losers out there pressuring production compaines into shortening our films. Granted the script is 190 pgs and in hollywood one page equals about 1 minute of movie. BUt still, an artist creation should not be disturbed because of the percieved ineptitude of the audience.

[evey]

:werd: I'd totally watch it all at once too. :dammit:

[MattaKnox]

Wow, that is pretty :uhh:

I guess I'd take that over them cutting an hour off of the film, but Miramax should have a little more respect for Tarantino. It should be his call, not theirs.

[Dizardak]

if they'll tell Scorsese he needs ot cut his film then they'd do it to anyone.

[MattaKnox]

Agreed, but Tarantino put Miramax on the map.

Knox :slap:, talk about what you know man. Soderberg put Miramax on the map. Sex, Lies, & Videotape was their first Oscar nomination.

[MattaKnox]

I'm talking about $$$, not awards. S,L & V made chump change compared to Pulp.

[clm_01]

Even Miramax says that Tarantino made them famous- since Pulp Fiction brought in SO much money for them.

[Dizardak]

Yes Pulp made the most money, but it was SLV that put them on the map and they had Oscar nominations every year after that whether it was "My Left Foot" or *shudders* "The Crying Game"...please refer to the following link for more http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/series/Miramax.php

[clm_01]

This is from the AP story:
Miramax wanted to be accommodating with Tarantino, whose 1994 crime romp, "Pulp Fiction," a $100-million hit, helped establish the Disney-owned distributor as a major Hollywood player.

"We believe in him. He's somebody we have a great track record with," Miramax spokesman Paul Pflug said Wednesday. "He's one of the key factors why Miramax has become who it is."

[velvetgoldmire]

This has to be said... I really enjoy QT's films, but let's face it... he's a splice artist.. perhaps the best splice artist out there, but he goes beyond the line of paying homage and ripping people off. But people can forgive him, because he has a large forehead.

[MattaKnox]

:haha:

But it's his orginal dialogue that puts him above the competition IMO. And everyone's a splice artist, at least he admits to it.

[Dizardak]

everyone steals from everyone that's art. best example i can give is De Palma's "Untouchables". Everyone thinks of that baby carriage going down the steps as such a great cinematic moment and a historical moment in film when De Palma took that scene from a 1927 Russian film called "Battleship Potemkin". My views on stealing from films in similar to that of sampling music. It's art and when we let $$ and corporations tell us what we can and can't use in our art then we are all lost. Ask the Biz :sadblue:

[Dizardak]

Furthermore, artist may come up with similar, if not exactly the same, ideas. A lot of people told me my movie reminded them at times of Zoolander, a film I to this day still haven't seen. To say that only one person can come up with one theme or idea is wrong.

[jrob]

dardeck...you said "furthermore" like this is your thesis or something.

wait...it was. nevermind.

Pokemon?

Seriously though, it is the LAMEST to split up the movie.... Everyone has been waiting for Kill Bill and now all we get is part of it? What if the first half isn't as good as the 2nd half? Blah...seems like a bad idea to me.

:haha:

"Pigman!"

"Whats he doing?"

"He's finishing his senior thesis. Pigman is trying to prove the Caine-Hackman Theory: No matter what time it is, 24 hours a day, you can find a Michael Caine or Gene Hackman movie playing on TV."

"That's his thesis?"

"Yes! Thats the beauty of college these days, Tommy! You can major in Gameboy if you know how to bullshit."

[Shawn_E]

hahahah rofl.

[bakednotfried]

This movie needs to be released in one piece.Like the second part is going to be out 1 or 2 months after the first one,I will have forgotten what the fuck happened in the first part.

[Yakko Red]

This weekend....

I'm convinced this film is going to kick serious ass.

He only did the penthouse room though.

[MattaKnox]

:hyper:

[Tybaltcap]

most of his films are was sweet, but I wasnt a big fan of the vampire movies he made, the first one was ok, the rest...a bit to much I thought

[Yakko Red]

In Kill Bill, Uma Thurman does the whole "square" drawing in the air with one finger while she's talking to vivica a fox in one scene, and also, in vol 1, Uma Thurman's character's name is bleeped out every time you hear it, and you won't actually find out what it is until vol 2.

[KittyBleu]

I SAW IT! YAYAYAY!

It rawks my world.

This movie was ultraviolent but full of amazing visuals. The storyline is great, the characters are great..you can really tell QT watched a ton of movies. He borrows from dozens of pictures to create a very strong piece of work. But man..by the time it was over...whoa...it was brutal...but AWESOME!!

Go see it!!!

[KittyBleu]

...BTW, it's pretty ZANG to see women beating some serious boo-tay..

[Emansurcuber]

i think iam gonna like this movie just by the feel of it

[Emansurcuber]

i just saw it too and i agree it was excellent. i couldnt believe how much i liked it i was driving home and i was still thinkin about what i had seen there was so much goin on at once always. good stuff

[Yakko Red]

We were going to check this out tonight but our laziness took over and we decided to just sit on our asses, maybe tomorrow.

[breaks princess]

Saw it last nite, definately my favorite QT movie yet. Vivid, acerbic, and all around brilliant. Uma was beyond badass, and I really dug the story line thus far.

I may go see it again tomorrow..

[GimmeABreakBeat]

i fell asleep and missed the whole thing. shame on me.

[MattaKnox]

going later today :woot:

[Milkman John]

saw it, it owned. I am amazed at the amount of crap he throws into a film. All about the subtleties.

[Yakko Red]

Just got back from checking it out, definitely an awesome movie.

The japanese school girl (GoGo) with the ball and chain was HOT. :drool:

[MattaKnox]

Awesome, though it could have used a little more blood.

[uberclkgtr]

:werd: knox. :afterbuzz:

awesome movie. qt has a toe fetish, i swear!

fine ladies, get yourself a samuri sword, a yellow jumpsuit and some blue cloth tape for stripes, you'll have the most badass halloween costume out there. :yummy:

[empath]

That jump suit is basically the same one that bruce lee wore in The Game of Death

[GooglyMoose]

My official review of the movie, ahem

Holy Fucking shit I cant belive how great that movie was.

As much as I like Bruce Lee, Uma Thurman pulled it off much better. :ANden:

Best part of movie - all the groaning from down on the dancefloor after she is finished kicking ass... :afterbuzz:

[dancrbuzz]

:werd: to Kill Bill!!!!!

I LOVED her. She's my new hero. Bad to the ass dude.

[bboyneko]

Hey can someone very knowledgable in asian cimena please list all the refferences to old movies?

I know the masks the bad guys wore are from green hornet.

As for that japanese girl, Chiaka, she is from BATTLE ROYALE and if you havent seen that yet you better get off your asses and see that shit..its awsome..anyway here is an interview with her:

http://actionadventure.about.com/cs/weeklystories/a/aa100703.htm

[Old Shoe]

To all:

Go out and see this movie. If you're a NYU Couch Potato and movies are your life, don't wait around for this to come out on DVD. Get off your ass and go see it today or tonight.

From the way QT takes you down a historic path of various styles of directing to ultra-violence, man! I was blown away! If you love martial art movies but long for a good story, check this out!

[Valencia Styles]

quentin tarrantino is teh shit

[DNAgirl]

Just saw the movie too. It was very good. I can never get enough of woman kicking the shit out of others :D

I thought Uma did a great job.

[Hitoi]

Probably the best movie I've seen in a long time. I thought the opening scene was pretty amusing. I won't lie and say that I didn't almost piss my pants when Vivica Fox busted out her cereal box ammunition.

[jrob]

yeah, i about soiled myself on that one. AWESOME movie, cannot wait for the second volume...she still gots a lot of killin' to do!!

[J*C*M]

It was a little darker then i was expecting, but i liked it. It was made better by the fact that i skipped out of work to see it at noon on friday :evilred:

[numbskull]

:drool: holy freaking shit man! kill bill rawks! this movie single handedly repositioned tarentino on my list. up until now he'd been in the top five..... but now.... he's number one. that movie was perfect.
uma and lucy did all their own stunts and there were no harnesses. oh god! how i love tarentino! :lessthanthree:

not only that, but i put it together that it wasn't breakfast time AT ALL... cereal sorta tipped me off. I didn't notice the name of the cereal...apparently it will be one of those "watch-it-and-see something-completely-new-EVERYtime-you-see-it" movies!!:raveon:

[numbskull]

the chick that played gogo was also in battel royal. (she played a similar character.) :lessthanthree:

[Old Shoe]

I think Lucy Lui did a great performance. I really loved the animation sequences to tell her character's background. Mad props to QT on going down that path! :thumbsup:

Honestly, splitting the movie into two was nothing more than a way for Miramax to gouge money from us. Based off of interviews with Tarantino, I think every negative review I've heard of the movie wouldn't be coming from the same angle if they saw the entire movie in one sitting...

All in all though... Kill Bill vol. 1 was a hell of a fun time...

what made her so cool was her fuckin expression on her face, it was soooooo classic

[Bioteknik]

btw, after watching the movie, don't you think the movie would be even closer to 4 hours before the editors went to work?

No way, I saw the last guy who tried to go down that road, I just want her to beat me up a little bit.

I just got back from the movie Kicked ass for sure. anyone one know when the next part is coming out?

[rockyblue]

:werd: I own this movie. I love the third room!

Back on topic, I haven't read this thread (too much reading for this early), but I saw the movie on Friday afternoon and I can't wait for Vol.2.
*Sidenote-Someone had there kid (as in 3-4 yrs old) in the theatre for this. What is wrong with people?!

[J-Star]

I was going to wait until part 2 came out so I could watch them together. The fact that they chopped the movie in half blows.
Damn why'd they have to do that? Ever heard of an intermission?
After reading this thread I might go check it out.

[Anti-DieselKitty]

There's a good article about the movie in Entertainment Weekly (the one with Uma on the cover, naturally)... If you see it when you're out, definitely pick it up. :yes: :yes:

[housecat]

Hmmm I think I'll try to see this movie this weekend!

[RedHedGurl]

I loved it! Just saw the movie last night! Pretty crucial fight scenes!

"your name is Buck...right?" "and you came here to fuck...right?"
:::smashes head in door repeatedly::: damn I liked that part a lot.

[bboyneko]

This is what happened to his head:
http://www.davekahle.com/images/egg.jpg

[RedHedGurl]

one more thing...let me just say that Lucy Lui is cute as a button but she can be an evil bitch when she wants too. Much much props to QT on casting!

[rajdeep]

Yeah, like Matt stated earlier on there isn't blood spouting arteries in this movie! :whoa:

I was tripping over how the dramatic music plays from time to time, reminded me of older Indian movies. :afterbuzz:

Also, interestingly they let you carry samurai swords on airplanes. Now that rocks, besides having a samurai holster on your bike!! :D

Great movie, excellent use of animation for a flashback scene. Cuts out the human emotional crap. :onethumb:

Personally, though I think Lucy Liu didn't fit the role of an assasin. She just didn't have the ruthless sexy punch.

Oh, yea, the gun-in-cereal box move made me :poop:... huh huh

BTW: I was watching the behind the scenes stuff on DVD and there's a scene which seems to have been dropped completely - one where Uma is training with an old Japanese in traditional garb.

[kathy v]

The old guy is Pai Mai in KB2. He's amazing! Did anyone else notice that one of the Crazy 88's looks like Quentin Tarentino--he's notorious for making cameos in his movies....
