i think most of my rage is pent up from kill bill... the hype around it when it came out was simply unbelievable for a film i really did not like.
again, few cool scenes, but the only good things about them were copied from actually awesome films (the kung-fu, and samurai films they mimiced), and copied so badly it was insulting...
LAdazeNYnights, GREAT point about tarantino focusing on cutting off the ear, while lynch (and nearly all other directors) would focus on the ear itself.
and witty, i'm all about the journey man, i havn't been suprised by a film for a very long time, but i love film, i don't care what happens at the end, or if there's a lot of twists, it's all been done a million times...
I'm a character and dialogue man, and there is simply nothing of it in tarantino... his characters are shallow, and ugly, not helped by consistently bad casting as i mentioned earlier, and the dialogue is equally shallow and glib, either copying other people's styles (but not well (so yes there is a problem doing it!)), or just randomly trying to spin hyperbole so it sounds good...
death proof actually wasn't too bad!
