Well said, Cap. I agree completely with you here.
And I genuinely have always recognized, known, and appreciated their love for the craft. I suppose, then, the stories they’re trying to tell just may not appeal to me currently; tastes change, I guess. Am I getting OLD? 😛
But of all Tarantino’s and Rodriguez’s latest works, I’m actually fairly interested in giving Kill Bill another chance. I consider it Tarantino’s last true film. Death Proof just seemed undercooked, too simple and/or a shameless diaolgue showcase. Worth watching once, but seemed like a fairly cheap gimmick when it was all over. And it’s frustrating — all the genuine talents involved.
Maybe if the missing reel was included… I may have to give it the benefit of that doubt. Nah. 😛 But the film just seemed like a little sketch, much like his contribution to FOUR ROOMS way back when.
M.I.K.E.
