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.

When I think of writing, I think of the dialogue and character development. Format, camera cues (generally, and IMO) are pretty pretentious and unneeded (just from the "pure writing" perspective) seeing as how cutting/wiping/split screen/ etc are more directorial issues and choices.
Anyway, I guess I can agree to disagree with you there. I do try to see as many different types of film, but no matter how hard I try I can't just be a film lover just for the pure sake of loving film. The writing, directorial style, or acting has to appeal to me on some level or another, and most Kung Fu movies, in general, don't do it for me. However, Kill Bill nailed two out of the three so I still love it.
