Sounds pretty cool. I'd be pissed off if everyone was killed at my wedding.

*wonders when it comes to Australia*

I agree completely (with the point about making everything into art). If pointlessness is the point, then there isn't much of a point now is there?

Arty!

As Joeiss said, wow! Just got back from the movie, I thought it was fantastic. As I expected, pretty cheesy dialogue and such, but amazing action throughout. Music was just as important, my respect for RZA is off the charts, excellent soundtrack...It's also great that no special effects were added in afterwards, everything was done on camera. I'm still pissed that I have to wait for Vol. 2, but I suppose I can't blame Miramax (i think) for wanting some extra bills. Well done Mr. Tarantino.

Edit: Just another funny moment, my 22 year old friend got carded at the door, while my 18 year old self didn't. It was pretty great...

Hmm, Pulp Fiction meets Charlie's Angels? I guess I'd have to see it to know for sure.

Joeiss · 10-12-2003, 12:10 PM

The dialogue wasn't too cheesy.. Everything had a purpose.

Heh. Saw it last night.

I didn't want to know what it was about before I saw it. I loved all of Quentin's films so I figured I'd take a leap of faith. I was not disappointed. I loved it so much. I didn't know how gory it would be. I didn't mind of course but wow. Goriest movie I have ever seen.

It was funny too.

I don't wanna wait till February to see the next one.

wasnt cheesy at all. you want cheesy. look up star wars ep 2.

the dialogue was meant to be exactly what it is in this movie.

Mechadragon · 10-13-2003, 08:42 PM

I just saw it and loved it! Especially the anime part.

In my opinion, some of the dialogue was meant to be cheesy i.e. "This sword is so good that if you meet god on your journey, he will be cut." It just adds to the whole parody of Kung Fu movies.

Joeiss · 10-13-2003, 09:20 PM

That wasn't cheesy, it showed how good the sword was.

The Germanator · 10-14-2003, 12:01 AM

Well, let's put it this way, the dialogue wasn't as well thought out or great(maybe it wasn't intended to) as the action sequences. Not that it matters, amazing action doesn't need great dialogue. I thought parts were cheesy, but maybe it's just me.

Joeiss · 10-14-2003, 01:51 PM

It was definitely just you.

I am seeing it tonight with my dad! I can't wait to see it again, lol.

I just got back from seeing it with my dad. I'm so glad my mom wasn't interested in seeing it...she would have been sick

GREAT movie...best since LOTR: Two Towers, Gangs of New York and Minority Report IMO.

The lines were not cheesy...they were appropriate. The acting wasn't the focus of the movie, either...it was all about direction, storytelling, music and of course action. Uma Thurman is AWESOME. Loved the ending...opens up a lot of doors that must be closed during Volume 2.

I thought the chapter with the Japenese Man was really boring...but other than that, it was fantastic. The scene with Lucy Liu and the gang meeting/celebration was great...reminded me so much of Robert Denero's baseball bat scene in the Untouchables.

9/10

Joeiss · 10-14-2003, 06:49 PM

Damnit stu.. you made this wait even more unbearing.. I just picked up my dad from the bus stop, and he was like "oh, we'll leave at 730".. but the movie starts at 8 so i was like "hello no, we're leaving much earlier than that."

Yep, that is my story. I am so pumped to see it again. And a large Doctor Pepper and a Large buttery popcorn bag await me at Silvercity.

Try like 4 segments.
