[quote] that doesn’t change the fact that this is his WEAKEST bit of writing to date.  Its not like I’m saying he’s lost it or anything - he hasn’t - its just that the writing itself - ignoring the direction or overall production - is a step down from Jackie Brown.  I don’t see how there’s anything wrong or negative with admitting that.  Common sense:  a crime drama is going to be better written than a Kung Fu movie.
And, yes!  I think the Ironside theme is cheezy!  We don’t all have to like Five Fingers of Death and all references to it, do we?  Sorry, I’m just not a big Shaw Bros fan. [/quote]
I guess to each his own. When I read Kill Bill, I felt it was his BEST script so far. Not so much because of the actual dialogue itself (which I feel was MEANT to be somewhat cheap and used to serve the story at hand not to impress the Pulp/Dogs lovers) but because of the storytelling aspect and his unique way of writing a screenplay. I loved every line of it. I also totally enjoyed the looseness and the format which QT used to tell the story. Its a complete Exploitation film.
Of course not everyone is into what some of us are into and thats totally cool. For instance, to me the Ironside theme is totally rockin and fun, not “cheesy”, (which to me is sort of a negative connotation). I grew up watching old school kung fu and Ive always enjoyed the music and the style of those films.
I like all kinds of films in the Exploitation genre, not just samurai films. Thats why I love Kill Bill so much it has little tastes of all of them.
