    *** Official KILL BILL: VOLUME 2 Discussion Thread

    Well, Vickie, it's very easy to misrepresent my posts as saying "my KB screenplay would have been better than his". The one thing you certainly CAN say about KILL BILL is that no-one but QT could have (or would have) written it. But if you'd prefer posts that just say " This film is a...

    Well, Patrick, I'm NOT arguing that the film be sequentialized - but I may as well let that go. Quentin (i'm saying nothing) - of course, you're essentially right. Why am I expecting anything more ? But even on its own terms, KILL BILL could have been better imo. I'd again point you to...

    David - thanks for at least considering what I'm talking about. But I absolutely disagree that it's "great writing" to turn a character from one that you feel compassionate about to one that you feel contempt for. That's about the easiest thing in the world. Just have them do something...

    Exactly my point. Personally, I quite like to be surprised. And that's maybe the difference. I find the ramifications of her not killing him a lot more exciting and retrospectively interesting than seeing her employ the Five Step Heart Thingy. If you don't agree with that, then you won't...

I'm not here complaining about the shakey zoom shots during the Pai-Mei sequence (which I loved, btw). I get what he's trying to do. I'm making what I believe to be a slightly...

    No offence, but it's pretty laughable to cite the reason for having Vernita Green first as being because she had to get the information from Sophie. This is a movie where Uma Thurman somehow manages to stand upright in a coffin under a ton of earth and clamber up to the surface ! It's a good...

    You're missing my point about the Vernita Green sequence. What I'm saying is - what would the difference have been if Vernita Green had been the first person that the Bride killed ? If we just hadn't bothered with the title card that told us she was the second ? No difference whatsoever, imo...

    Let me start by saying that I did enjoy KILL BILL 2 and thought it was, overall, a more satisfying film than its predecessor. VOL 1 is fun too ; indeed, it would be hard for any film fan under the age of 50 to NOT find any enjoyment in these films. However, I do feel that - whilst...
