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.

According to IMDB trivia, it's a De Tomaso Mangusta.

I love this bit in the trivia: Because of its speed, agility, timing, and thick coat, the mangusta (Italian for mongoose) is the only animal capable of killing a cobra in a straight fight.

What "R" you feeling?

Been meaning to watch these again...this seals the deal.

Quentin Tarentino do write good *talks

Helluva find AC.

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

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?

I love that Bud is one of the most honorable characters in the story. The scene where she bursts through the door to a chest full of rock salt is one of the most ninja moments of any movie ever. She's arguably one of the deadliest people on earth but Bud knows that all he needs is a bottle of whiskey, a Johnny Cash record and a shotgun to be totally safe. Then he gets the drop on her, but doesn't kill her. Just buries her alive. There's more going on there than in just about any part of the story.

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

i dunno, all amazing film makers. i guess (for me anyway) in creative mediums, such as music, fine art, or, in this case, film, its far too subjective to say who is the "greatest"

but tarantino would be in my top 5 without a doubt

also check out nolans cherry popper, "Following"

its fucking brilliant
