muffin...don’t get me wrong...I've seen a lot of junk. But this beats them all. Oh, de gustibus. The fact remains that I get chills of disgust every time I think about that afternoon at a friend's place when 3 grams of good weed weren’t enough to make this movie even slightly watchable. :D

The worst movie I have ever seen. Period.

Poletti, what do I have to hear? Let’s just say this is a nice and fun movie. Smoke a couple of joints and it’ll even make you laugh. Of course, it's not a masterpiece... but do you really think one should only watch masterpieces in life? I say no. I believe that if you have a flexible mind, you can love great films to the moon and have a blast with movies like this one. And, trust me, just chill out... Aloha.

"I saw Tarantino as a provocative, uncomfortable director, not for everyone"... and I add: you saw wrong, very wrong...

"I prefer a more niche Tarantino, like he was with Reservoir Dogs before the sudden transformation into a cult movie"... your words. But what do I want to say? What difference does it make to you? Why should something you like remain niche and not appeal to millions of people around the world? Do you feel like it's being taken away from you? Do you need to know that you’re one of the few who appreciates it? I don’t agree. Now, whether one is against certain processes of massification is a whole different story. But let the kids buy their damn yellow jumpsuits; after all, the masses need to fall in love with something... and it’s better that they do so with Kill Bill rather than with Vacanze Di Natale. As much as you might dislike the word... yours is pure snobbery.

I only read the first part of your review, and I promise to read the rest later. But in the meantime, a consideration is due: what difference does it make to you if Kill Bill has become a "mass" film (a concept that's quite slippery, by the way, but anyway... let's simplify)? I mean: how has this massification of the work deprived you of the joy of enjoying it? Or is it purely an example of snobbery (with just one "b," which is even snobbier) or tell me. This is even more true in cases where the "success" in question doesn't significantly alter the subsequent works of the author in question. If tomorrow a beautiful film or album comes out and for its own reasons becomes a popular MUST... does it become any less beautiful? Bah!

Great, nice review. And to think that when I read the first 5 lines I frowned... the river scene and "knockin'" are legendary, okay, but it's a bit cliché and I feared the usual empty elegy. But instead, it's a really interesting read. About the film, you've said (quais) everything right in my opinion... and on the points where I don't fully agree, maybe we'll discuss those on these pages when I have a bit more time to dedicate... right now I'm at work. Aloha.

...in the sense that Kim Ki Duk is much better... obviously. I’ll focus on one thought at a time, forgive me.

the best of the trilogy, in my opinion... psycho, lady vengeance is more violent in other ways, I agree, but this is "made" better. More composed, more complete. Then it's subjective, we all know that. Someone in the early comments was talking about the theme of incest... true, I believe that's the extra something of this film, what elevates it above the other two from a content perspective as well as in terms of execution. It remains a good film and not a masterpiece.
