I would have loved this video a lot more if it didn't have the word "Fish" in both the title and the tags. Not knowing Emilio isn't a person is half of the shock of this conversation


Many a time a brilliant title or a vid that you don't want to be obvious until it's been watched has been ruined by the youtube titles slapped across the top. I hate that they have that, have wondered if there's a way to take them off. And sorry I never thought about presuming Emilio was a person, he gets round to saying it's her pet so quickly, it didn't even register to me

>> ^Raaagh:

Bill monologues should be inserted into more pop culture. Sesame Street should get him on as a guest star extolling on the finality of the letter Z, Bill O'reilly should have him in a segment called "Thoughts of Bill" where he explores a rationalization of this weeks neo-con cognitive dissonance, Good morning America should have a live cross etc


Yeah. Except, now he's dead. Yet another brilliant videosift idea wasted by the grim reaper.

Inception and Memento are both really good films (I think Inception is a Great film), but largely because they are great ideas, well delivered. His Batman stuff is fine, but it didn't rock my world. Really, it seems pretty formulaic to me.
I think Tarantino's work is so distinctive and ambitious, that he sits above all others. Also, if you go through his films (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, the two Kill Bills (so far, a third has been announced), Grindhouse and then Inglourious Basterds), it's hard to pick a weak spot apart from Grindhouse which was a disaster and an excuse to film the best car chase in modern history. But even that was ambitious if not well executed.
I'm tempted to put Danny Boyle up there, but almost exclusively for Trainspotting which is my favourite film of all time, and Sunshine which I thought was brilliant.
Perhaps Tarantino could be given the nod for best writer/director in the modern era?


Good call on Danny Boyle. I haven't see Sunshine, but 28 Days Later is one of my favourites of all time, Shallow Grave was a great debut and Slumdog Millionaire was beautiful. But yeah, Tarantino, he's inimitable

Best director of his generation, by a country mile.


among the best for sure, but greatest of his generation? i think C Nolan would be up for the challenge

>> ^QuadraPixel:

Cool sift. Does anybody know what kind of car that was in the background? (probably Bill's car)


I *think* it's a DeTomaso Pantera. Not really sure though. Late sixties/early seventies.

Ok, I dunno what's happening here, but do me a favour and leave me out of it, Bone, thanks...

It may well be that he wears his influences on his sleeve but on the whole they seem a bit capricious. His film is, I will agree with you, unique. But that doesn't salvage it from the un-polished feel and the stilted overused Tarantino movie regularities like the nicknames. Nearly every fucking character in the movie had a little 'what they call him' intro where Samuel L Jackson voiced over background info on this new person the audience was meeting. I'd be impressed if he grew a little as a writer and didnt need to side track the story just to intro a character. As it stands, it's still a so-so movie and his originality was undeniably lacking.

I think that's become such a trite criticism for Tarantino, something that people pull out by default when they want to put the man down because it's easy and so many other people have done it. I mean, Tarantino has certainly said how influenced he was by "man on a mission" films when making Inglouious Basterds, but in the end, does it feel like any "man on a mission" film you've ever seen? What film, in particular, does it seem like he's ripping off here? Or director? Tarantino wears his influences on his sleeve, sure, but he generally ends up using those influences to come up with something fairly unique (with the possible exception of Kill Bill Vol. 1, which was still about a million times better than most of the schlocky kung-fu films that inspired him).

I understand why it was cut. It was a little out of tune from the rest of the movie.


Absolutely, this would belong in vol. 1. And, when the hell are they going to release the director's cuts of these on BluRay?!

>> ^Psychologic:
I'm pretty sure those are Chinese swords, though I forget their actual name. Bill has a katana. I'm not sure what the black guy has.

The black guy is wielding a jian and his Chinese underlings are all carrying types of dao.
