there could be an enterprise devoted to Gogo. |
||||||||
|

i'm not reading any of these posts because i don't want anything in the movie to be ruined for me - i am seeing this fucking film THIS weekend because Tarantino is one of my favourite directors - and Pulp Fiction is one of my favourite movies of ALL time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
awww man i'm sorry for the heavy spoilage. at any rate, DO see it! =) |
||||||||
|
|

|

i am going to move to fucking japan and me and gogo will go out and get drunk. She'll tell me that farari's are italian trash and ask me if I want to screw her and i'll be all like "yeah yeah" then i'll quick move so she doesn't stab me. Then i'll hit it from the back. the end |

oh don't worry - i didn't read ANY of the posts above. I figured beforehand there would be some spoilage. No worries. |

pretty exciting, huh? does that make your empty godless life more worth living? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
5/5 definately. One of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Battle Royale is gonna be such a let down i reckon... ...not to worry. Johnathan Ross likes Kill Bill, I'm gonna like it! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
amazing.... the more i think about the more i like it ...it wasn't really what i was expecting so it took me off guard.... i'll have to see it again....soon......stoned |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i can't stop thinking about it. i can't wait to see it again. I heard that if you sit through the credits, there is a preview of volume 2. i wish i had known this. i'll have to see it a second time just for that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm seeing it on Friday and looking forward to it. |
||||||||

kill bill is the prequal to pulp fiction. mia wallace is the Bride. That's why they kept bleeping her name. eh? EH? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope theres no preview |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Vega Brothers was supposed to be the prequal to Pulp Fiction, but that has been scrapped. |
||||||||
|
|

mia has no daughter in pulp fiction my favorite part had to be pretty much all of chapter five. the battle in the dojo was just fucking hardcore. |

1. I like how the film keeps the viewers attention. I went with a friend of mine who really doesn't care for Quentin's movies but on Kill Bill he was interested. Also the soundtrack was great for the sequences. I like many of the song but my fav is "Twisted Nerve" - Bernard Herrmann and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" - Santa Esmeralda. 2. My fav. scene, err..well choosing out of many. I like that 1 shot scene where the camera moves from place to play in the restaurant. I also like the dark silhouette fight scene. 3. If i can recall correctly, "This cocksucker's still alive". I love how a cop is refering to something that is mostly dead a cocksucker. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i was just making a wild speculation based on the fact that the deadly viper assasination squad is very remeniscent of fox force five mentioned in pulp fiction. |

i really enjoyed the movie! the thing that bothers me about these HIGHLY anticipated movies is ALL THE DAMN HYPE. it kinda takes away from the movie for me. i like seeing movies i know next to nothing about, that way expectations are NOT dashed. with that said however, i thing Tarantino is a brilliant visionary. i loved the REAL movie and anime side movie.....it was so cool. very original. i also liked the dialogue in quite a few different scenes.....so funny....and subtle. my fav scene and character was Oshi Ren and the fight scene in the snow was such a beautiful one, it's what i always come back to. what a great juxaposition of violence and quiet beauty....ehehhe brilliant i also wish Gogo hadn't been killed, she is just really watchable....i wish she'd had more scenes.....the one where she PENETRATED the guy was classic......muahahhahahha i'm looking forward to Vol 2 and looking forward to getting the soundtrack. the 5, 6, 7, 8's were great..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the music was terrific.. i can't wait to get the soundtrack supposedly there will be a lot more RZA on vol. 2 but there was still at least 3 score pieces by him i recognized in the film |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i liked the soundtrack during the film but i downloaded it and was listening to it on it's own and it doesn't really "do it" for me. But i have though the same thing about all the Tarantino soundtracks. usually there are a couple tracks i like, and maybe one good dialogue track and the rest i just skip over. my favorite soundtrack is probably reservoir doggs, just for the madonna speach and harvey keitel's lets get a taco monologue. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh. "though" = "thought" and "speach" = "speech" need to finish my coffee |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man you really need to immerse yourself in the great soundtrack composers of the 60s-80s.. once you've schooled yourself in morricone, schifrin, quincy jones, herrmann, moroder, etc. you'll really appreciate this soundtrack.. it's a great mix of stuff (IMO) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i agree that it's a great soundtrack, i just appreciated it more when it actually acompanied the movie. i just couldn't sit and listen to it on it's own. well most of it. i really like a few of the tracks. as for the rest, i like it in the film, just not say... in my car. i guess, to give some perspective of my soundtrack tastes, my all time favorite soundtrack is Natural Born Killers. and then maybe.. hmm.. the score to Thin Red Line. oh and can't forget P. Gabriel's 'Passion.' and the soundtracks to 'rushmore' and 'royal tennenbaums.' and, oh yeah, i always liked City of Lost CHildren. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NBK is perhaps my all-time favorite too :) i've met the guy who scored the thin red line and seen his work performed live by a quartet named after him, and i think passion is a great score too.. rushmore and royal ten~ are fun rock compilations. you have good taste in soundtracks, that or we both lack it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes the sound track was just plain superb! I have it. QT turned me on to music i probably would have never paid attention to before this film. |

"i can't remember much of the movie other than it was mindblowingly astronomical. " hilarious. despite the fact that the movie is split in half in part because it's a good way to cash in on the rapid-release trilogy trend of the past year or so, I think it was a smart, unconventional move. it ended on a cliffhanger, they must've had an easy time figuring where, exactly, to cut it.. but I am excited to go back for what will feel like a sequel. I think having it in it's original 3.5 hr form would have been too much anyway. I just hope the dvd is a 2-disc set and not treated like a real part one and part two (ie released as separate movies) |
||||||||

Excellent film. Soundtrack wasn't up to usual Tarantino standards and it was a wee bit of a departure but all in all it was nails and I'm gonna get the DVD. Loved the use of anime too, and I'm not a big fan of it. Just really ingenious and silly. |
||||||||

It was a good half-a-film. Only good. Not great like Pulp Fiction was. *struggles to find something genuinely praising to say about it rather than just that it was ok* I liked the scene where Uma Thurman met someone and didn't kill him. *offers lame smile to the mb* |

sorry guys, i didnt like it. |

I think this is a film that I have to see before I comment on it agree? |

I think having it in it's original 3.5 hr form would have been too much anyway. exactly.. hence it's not a cash-in. it was really the only thing they COULD do. I just hope the dvd is a 2-disc set and not treated like a real part one and part two (ie released as separate movies) same. that WOULD be a cash-in. plus it doesn't make sense; some poor sap out there would buy vol. 2, having never seen either before, and pop it in. he'd end up very confused and annoyed at himself. i really hope they don't split the dvd into separate releases. i could make an analogy to how the godfather, when it went on home video, wasn't split into separate releases for each of the two tapes, nor was scarface, etc., but these long movies weren't divided into separate films like kill bill is. i just hope they don't get greedy.. |

"i've met the guy who scored the thin red line" Yeah that's great until you found out that Hans Zimmer wrote his music from the temp track to Mallick's early cut of the film, which included stuff by Phillip Glass and Brian Eno. So basically, he re-wrote Glass (there's exact quotes of some of Glass' piano work through the movie) and Eno. But then again Zimmer was and will always be a second-class movie music artist |
||||||||
|
|

|

oops i meant the red violin (not the thin red line).. to be precise i don't know much about hans zimmer except 1) i can play the theme to forrest gump on my trumpet and 2) i'd like to hear his cover of "video killed the radio star" but have never found it on p2p. that is all. |

saw it a second time this weekend. it still brought tears of sadness and then joy to my eyes. can't wait to see it a 3rd.. |

That is where VCD's come in handy! I can't simpily wait to buy it! |
||||||||

exactly.. hence it's not a cash-in. it was really the only thing they COULD do. they could've shortened it into one 2.5 hr film though.. |

Fucking Great. Saw it Friday night with my GF then Saturday night with a mate and was blown away. I love the blood raining on O-Rens Father. A nice tribute to Ninja Scroll. "Wiggle your big toe" is the next "Royale with Cheese"... The cinimatic shots with the music and perfectly timed tension build actually made me cry with excitment in the O-ren Vs The Bride scene. I'm seeing this again and again! |

Blood rain = GREAT Ninja Scroll flashback for me.... saw it for the first time last night and was JUST blown away !!! I came to the movie with spprehensions about QT's new flick, but now it's ay alltime favorite movie EVER ! OMG the anime sequence was GREAT ! and every time I saw "Deadly Viper Assassination Squad I burst into unconntrollable fits of laughter.... maybe I should see it not drunk once or 9 times..... The Red Apple Cigarettes in the airport was a GREAT tie in..... JESUS going to see it again tonight ! |

Hans Zimmer didn't write anything related to Forrest Gump, that was Alan Silvestri, a much better compser with much more class and understanding of classical movie scoring :) Oh and as for John Corigliano, he wrote much better stuff in the early 80's, especially for the movie "Altered States", which is an atonal 20-century modern music composition for the movie. |

Here's and early draft of the full Kill Bill script |

i saw this movie again on saturday. best movie ever. |

You can all help me with something here. Inspired by Kill Bill I'm carrying out an exercise to see who are the most ass-kicking female characters in cinema history. You can cost votes or suggest your own entries . Due to the nature of the site, you shouldn't click that link if you're under 18. |

you're right, i'm not sure why i thought that was hans zimmer.. maybe i can't play anything by him, i thought i could. (fuzzy memories from 8 years ago). and yes i know corgliano wrote better stuff, i heard it performed live.. i just said the red violin because people here know that score theo: no |
||||||||

They could have, but it wouldn't have been as good. I think Miramax learnt their lesson the hard way when it comes to shortening films. Peter Jackson offered them the Lord Of The Rings project. They said they would back him if he could get all 3 books into one 2-hour film. He said no, approached New Line and the rest, as they say, is history. |

before we even see the second half, i doubt anyone can accurately assume that there is an hour of delible material to cut. i agree though that this could likely start a rash of big studio's cutting crappy 3.5 hour films into two parts in an effort to double the admission. And also, more than doubling the number of possible showings per screen, per day. an hour and a half long film can potentially play like 8 or 9 times a day per screen while a 3 hour movie can only play 3 or 4 times. depending on the theatre. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as for the hype, i intentionally emersed myself in it, being very anxious to see this movie. it still exceeded my expectations. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same here! |

Longer films don't necessarily equal reduced box office. Just look at Titanic, the highest grosser ever. The vast majority of people in the US and Europe now watch movies in multiplexes. The tendency is to run longer films on two screens and just not show some other film that's not expected to have a high gross. The result is maintained revenue at the expense of choice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes but per screen, a 3.5 hour movie simply cannot play as many times in a day as a 1.5 hour movie. this, of course, is most important on opening weekend which has a finite number of hours that actually qualilfy as the "opening weekend." anyway, the real kicker is charging 2 admission's to see 1 movie by splitting it in two. which i think sucks but for Kill Bill, i suspect it will be well worth it. |
