KILL BILL

I don't know if I'm going to spring to see this in the theater. Probably so. My expectations are pretty low. I like my splatter gore a little more Herschel Gordon Lewis, if you know what I mean.

My biggest bitch with Tarantino is his insistence on casting Uma Thurman in lead roles. As somebody once said, I'd like to buy her for what she's worth and sell her for what she thinks she's worth. She damned near ruined Pulp Fiction. She is the equivalent of Eastwood putting Sondra Locke in his movies, or Lennon putting Yoko on stage with him. I've never forgiven JL for Don't Worry Kyoko.

Caveat: I am not equating these women on a Screw Scale. I'm equating them on a Talent Scale.

You know what else pisses me off? Uma's known in this movie as The Bride. Where's my fucking royalties??? Little brother, QT would likely pay $600k or so just to make me go away. Paperwork, please.

Interesting list of movies for Lewis. I'll have to check them out before seeing Kill Bill.

My IMVHO...Q is over-rated.

End? Rental. No doubt.
