i remember zemeckis saying when they made the third one they had every stuntman in hollywood trying to get a job on it because it was a western and nobody made those any more and they were all desperate to do one

kill bill is still my favorite of his

hm ... I thought the second part was better than the first, the last half hour of the first film ... I guess it was supposed to be exhilarating but I was just bored

and the end of the second film was pretty lame too when he starts talking about superman, I'm like yeah I just don't believe the character would start talking about this, that's not bill talking, it's quentin going off on one

the bit where she's trapped in the coffin though is one of the best bits of film I've ever seen

DJGrenola

2015-10-22 04:22:34 pm

but I'm largely going to credit uma thurman for making that work

and yeah i love part 2 a lot more than 1 as well

DJGrenola

2015-10-22 04:37:45 pm

one thing I do like about part 1 is that it's a film almost entirely about women, there are basically no significant male characters in it at all

ah yeah, it's a stark contrast to reservoir dogs which i think is interesting

Deathproof and Inglorious Basterds are good too. Kill Bill is my fav

tarantino is really good at naming his movies heh

DJGrenola

2015-10-22 04:46:37 pm

i think dogs is probably my favourite of the ones I've seen

DJGrenola

2015-10-22 04:47:54 pm

it's weird how widely condemned the violence in it was, I remember watching it and thinking yeah what's all the fuss

mind you I was a teenager at the time and teenagers are a fairly psychotic bunch

DJGrenola

2015-10-22 04:51:45 pm

i've seen much more disturbing films and I'm not even a connoisseur of that kind of thing

DJGrenola

2015-10-22 04:52:18 pm

like duel, that's an amazing film

DJGrenola

2015-10-22 05:09:22 pm

no budget and probably spielberg's best film because it doesn't contain any of the rank sentimentality you get in his other shit

i've never seen jaws though, probably should sometime

arkarian

jaws is good but watching it now is tough

have to try and get into the mindset of a 70s viewer

saw the martian the other week in london actually

first time I've been to the flicks since snakes on a plane

DJGrenola

it was okay but I thought it would have been better if I'd actually felt like matt damon was in any real danger at any point, he's just a bit too upbeat about everything, not enough of a sense of peril

just emotionally all a bit flat ... it was entertaining enough though
