I thought Kill Bill Sucked

As a standalone...the scene isn't bad. It's just that it's a time-waster.

What purpose does it serve? It develops Lucy Liu's character. But all he really needed to do to develop Liu is to give us the scene immediately after all the anime, where she chops the guy's head off at the meeting and gives the *AWESOMEST COOLEST SPEECH EVER*, which makes the anime scene pretty redundant, in my view.

I also don't like anime which probably means I'm biased. But I think my point still stands.

The fight scenes were supposed to be unrealistic. It was an homage to old Kung Fu flicks. If you've seen Shogun Assassin, which I can only assume served as some inspiration for QT, you'd see the blood sprays pretty much the same way. Also, note the corny old school zoom in on Pae Mei's facial expression in KBV2.

I thought they were both amazing. I like KBV2 a lot better than KBV1, as the dialogue is insane.

Thanks. I can't believe someone actually read it.

Kill Bill didn't suck, but Fight Club sure as hell did.

i read it too and i think you're a better media critic than many of the rotten tomatoes clowns.

i'm actually surprised you didn't work in uma/bruce lee's tracksuit into the homage/tribute theme...

Some interesting stuff that may help some understand how much homage is in really these movies:
