    I don't agree with it, but I see where it came from.

          Much like this thread, the movie I watched tonight involved a sort of resurrection: Kill Bill Vol 1.

          Yeah, I know it's old, but I finally was really in the mood to see it, which I'm finding is more common nowadays with me and movies (have to be in the mood for a movie, then be in the certain mood for one of the movies on my "list" to see).

          I was planning on watching both volumes back-to-back, but after seeing the first one.....wow. That's a LOT of visual overload. Cinematically I thought it was superb. The different forms (black and white, color, anime, etc) was a bit surprising, as I didn't expect that from Tarantino (reminded me a lot of Natural Born Killers in that aspect, and yes, I know QT wrote the story for NBK, and my reasoning is he later disowned Stone's "version" or film interpretation of it). The dialogue portions did live up to his rep, though, which I liked.

          So I only watched the first one. My expectations were more in the homage to the old kung-fu movies, with ridiculous action and overblown fights, etc. I was pleasantly surprised, as there was good substance to the story, and dare I say a certain art quality comparably to the newer kung-fu movies (the snow fight harkened to "House Of Flying Daggers" for example).

          Obviously it's tough to top Pulp and Reservoir for QT's best movies, but this comes close. I can't wait to see Vol 2.

            The black and white battle in the House of Blue Leaves was actually done to keep the film from having an NC 17 rating, as well as some other cuts of violence. Japanese cut has full color and more some more shots spread throughout.

            Here's a link to the color extended version, which was actually part of the original previews for the movie, where The Bride is running up the steps.

              Yeah, I read imdb after every movie I see.

              Still, that's a lot of visuals to take in, when you're not expecting it.

                Wait til you meet the martial arts master in Vol. 2. Vol. 2 drags a little bit, but everything involving him f-cking owns.

                  QT movies don't drag, from what I've seen. I love 'em all. Gimme dialogue and substance over action any day.

                  Example: "Bringing Out The Dead" (Scorcese) GREAT movie. And there is less action there than in Dude Love's bedroom. It's ALL dialogue.

                    The fight with Darryl Hannah in Vol. 2 also owns.

                    OK maybe I need to watch them all again. What annoys me greatly is that Tarantino promised that there would eventually be a complete, united cut of the Kill Bill films and, well, that sh-t ain't happened yet. Granted, that'd be one long friggin' movie but still.

                            Of course. That probably will be one I see in the theater, in fact.
