Robert Rodriguez resurrecting Predator franchise

[Philly Q]

I don't disagree about Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction or Jackie Brown, but I thought the rot set in with Kill Bill, especially the second half.  Boring, self-indulgent tripe, I absolutely hated it.

Just because you have lots of ideas, it doesn't mean they're all equally good or that you have to use them all, like some hyperactive little kid on a sugar rush - I think QT needs a tough editor who's prepared to stand up to him.

fair point, i suppose you could say reservoir dogs is his lean mean punk album and kill bill is his sprawling prog concept album! :)  condensed into one 2 hour movie, it probably would have been better.

it's a pity he hasn't done more films, and advanced his art rather than wallowing in nostalgia for the movies of his own youth, but at least he has made a handful of fantastic films.  and there's always the hope that he'll do more.

The Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness of the movie world!  :lol:

Agreed. Kill Bill is total cr@p. It's just all a bunch of GCSE Drama ideas mismatched and shoved into a 2 hour film slot.

There's nothing arty about it. Its just infantile cr@p.

And the people that like it are almost as bad... "He's so creative! There's nothing like it! What are you talking about, the plot was brilliant!

A perfect example of "Just because you can do something. Doesn't mean you should."

I really liked Kill Bill (although Dhiem, if you want to see Grindhouse, just watch it. I've been waiting for the original directors cut for Kill Bill for years).
