It's okay, he runs the television from the power generated by his butter-churning, so even his free time is not filled with sinful sloth but he can be productive whilst indulging his imperfect and human frailties.

I actually found watching the two Kill Bill movies to be light and breezy after doing things like watching all three LOTR films back to back, or the Nolan Batman trilogy. Remember when an hour and fifty minutes was long enough for a movie? Kill Bill Volume 1 will help you remember.

That is what we in the biz call a "doolap".

I still haven't gotten around to playing the video game, but apparently the final scene has you playing as Mr. Blue for some reason. You'd think they'd have somehow done a QTE event where you can change the ending and shoot both Joe and Eddie while dodging their bullets, then shoot your way out of the warehouse

I didn't do it until I realized it was a controversy, as it seemed rather obvious that Mr. White was supposed to have shot both. Clearly they screwed up a bit and Keitel clearly doesn't aim the gun in the correct trajectory as he falls to hit Nice Guy Eddie, though he makes a good go of it, but sheesh, people, way to

"So you're telling me there could be as many as FIVE Sith up there?"

I wish it was in the movie, because I feel like I have to pause the film, go to the special features and watch it, and then continue with the film. Which on blu-ray recently I found is much easier and less jarring a transition, but on DVD it was a chore.

I hated that part. It was stupid and had no further pay-off. It's like "Hey, let's give this guy a weird quirk, but instead of burning books after he reads them so no one else can gain the knowledge, he shoots talented cooks so no one else can experience their food!" If it had more pay-off, like that he shot multiple

My problem with how they played up the no eyes thing is he ends up not really doing much in the film at that point (I forget how many people he shoots, but it didn't seem like enough). If you're going to have a blind gunman/samurai/Zatoichi reference (whatever Rodriguez's inspiration/parody/homage was), you need that

Why would you feel bad?

Rodriguez made an okay parody of grindhouse cinema (because seriously, it was actually pretty subpar on that front, if you ask me. I'd rather watch Black Dynamite or Hobo with a Shotgun or any of the other parodies of the era)

The early '90s (and the early 2000s, which saw a reignition) called, it wants its tired debate back.

I'll take Tarantino's tonal shifts over what seems like complete tone-deafness on the part of Rodriguez.

Nothing like Rodriguez. Even Predators suffered from the shoehorning in of his brand of humor. It was pretty straight-forward for the most part, but early on, with the Laurence Fishburne character's death, you realize "oh, there's a little humor here. But hey, I guess we needed some comic relief." Things slowly

I assumed if there were a third one it would be called "Machete Kills AGAIN" and not Machete Kills in Space. Machete Kills in Space seems like simply a joke about Jason X…or does it?

As I mentioned up above, Once Upon a Time in Mexico is like a parody of Leone mashed up with far too much of his own sense of humor and Depp wackiness. Then Machete is like a parody of his own sense of style. Machete Kills is a further parody of Machete, basically, taking that idea and pushing it to the limits. At

I don't think Tarantino has yet screwed the pooch. Rodriguez, on the other hand…you have probably seen Grindhouse, right? Do you notice the tonal differences between Planet Terror and Death Proof? Rodriguez is trying to be as wacky and silly to PARODY the genre, whereas Tarantino is still clearly trying to make an

The problem is Rodriguez has become so silly that it is almost a parody of his earlier films which were at least slightly grounded. Then Machete mutliplies THAT by ten and looks like a psarody of this movie. At some point there's no substance left under all the style and humor, not even a proper parody (because he's

He was clearly trying to take Sergio Leone and run it through a blender of his own sense of humor and wackiness along with a bunch of quirky Depp randomness, or something. Obviously the movie makes some attempts at staying in line with the previous film (at the end there are once again two Mariachi buddies with

The explanation for which still made no sense after several viewings. Because the pork tasted TOO good? Really? What a silly quirk. If they had shown him shooting other talented people it might have made more sense, but instead it was just a one-off Rodriguezism.
