To be fair, I haven't seen Death Proof yet, so I won't comment on it.

I'm surprised you liked Kill Bill 1 and not Kill Bill 2, when they were really just one movie cut into two pieces. I think there's a difference between "bloody for bloody's sake" (like what you'd see in a cheap horror/slasher film) and the more aesthetic violence in Tarantino films (Kill Bill being the best example I think, having not seen Death Proof.)

What are you referring to when you say "weird language spells" though?

Kill Bill 2: Well to be honest most of it was pretty boring to me, except for the final sequence. I was unfascinated with the Daryl Hannah character buildup up and conflict. the bar scene in Mexico (?) was a snoozer.

I think we disagree on whether is cheap slasher film blood for blood's sake at this point.

Conversations: His earlier films (and KB II-last conversation) were noted by these passages, discussions on weird topics. Sometimes they are interesting, sometimes they are not.

I thought the foot thing was specific to Uma Thurman ? Those being her least favourite body part or something ?

No, Tarantino has admitted to it and doesn't hide his love for female feet:
- In From Dusk Till Dawn he sucks liquor from Salma Hayek's bare feet.
- In Jackie Brown Robert DeNiro is distracted by the toe ring on the bare foot of Bridget Fonda.
- Kill Bill 1 has the whole "wiggle your big toe" scene, Kill Bill 2 the part where Uma squishes an eyeball barefoot.
- Dead Proof Kurt Russel plays with bare feet.

So, I think he'll throw his fetish into this movie as well.

As for his dialogue style: he has written for a lot of movies, adding in these really geeky and pointless discussions, like the Silver Surfer and some other superhero battle in Crimson Tide.

On a funnier note, Tarantino also always works a reference to the Netherlands into most of his movies. Reservoir Dogs theme was sung by George Baker, a Dutch singer. Pulp Fiction had the whole Amsterdam talk and Kill Bill had a ringtone that is the anthem of my country. Again,

Holy gak, he's really going all the way: "[Eli] Roth also directed the film-within-a-film, entitled "Nation's Pride" (Stoltz der Nation) which is a homage to Leni Riefenstahls wartime propaganda flicks. He said that he hopes that the mini-movie will make him become "the Sarah Palin of the Nazi Party.""

Ah yes. I know exactly what you are talking about. Sorry, for some reason I didn't make the connection when you said "weird language spells."

I thought "Death Proof" was terribly boring. Yes, I know that Tarantino movies practically live of useless discussions but it didn't really work for me Death Proof, probably because of the all-female cast. I just couldn't relate to (or understand) what they we're talking about all the time.
The ending was nice though.

And I loved David Carradines Superman-Monolouge in Vol. 2
