By the way, could any of you putting Tarantino down pull off a Kill Bill. 

an ever further pointless question.  albeit, im sure ive thrown that out there in the heat of the moment myself, but in hindsight i realize what an idiot i sound like.*

the fact of the matter is, you're comparing apples to oranges.  sure, i can be a real loud mouth when im criticizing someone else's work, but it doesnt change when someone challenges me to put my money where my mouth is.  im obviously not going to turn around a run myself into the ground with debt in order to prove anyone wrong out of spite.  

anyway, im not attacking you, im attacking that stupid argument.



*not implying you sound like an idiot.

[yesno]

Tom has discussed on the show how "Let's see you make a movie/album/etc" is just about the stupidest possible criticism. 

I've never written an epic poem about dentistry, but I can tell you that Solyman Brown's Dentologia is kind of boring.  Not as boring as Kill Bill, however.

Kill Bill bored you??

[yesno]

Once it was possible to assume that Tarantino's pop culture references were an ironic critique on the barrenness of media-age culture, but there's no mistaking it now: Tarantino's work is not a commentary on the barrenness. It is the barrenness.

I agree with this review.

I didn't see the second Kill Bill, but the first one was boring as fuck.  Except for the flashback with the Pussy Magnet truck or whatever it was, the whole thing was like watching someone else play a video game.

And if by "pull off a Kill Bill" you mean participate in the creation of a shitty movie, the answer is yes, I can and have.

I just saw Lars and the Real Girl, and was pleasantly amazed at the tone of respect for basic human frailty on display in a film I had assumed would be a sequence of stupid sex jokes.

Dang, now I'm not going to see it.

I thought Kill Bill 1 and 2 were mesmerizing.  I loved every second of each of them.  But hey, whatever, let's bash Korine.

Let's bash Diablo Cody, that was always fun.  And Poster Children, while we're at it.

Are you saying that if a person sees a burning building, he should be able to yell fire, even if he's not a fireman?
If not, I don't think I really understood your post, but have a nice evening.

Hey, my Uncle's a fireman!  Don't you insult the firemen!














































My uncle's not a fireman.  In fact, I don't have any uncles.  I just wanted to fight, too.

[yesno]

The other day I saw a burning building, and I could have called 911 on my cell phone, but I was like, fuck it, I'm not a fireman.  NOT MY JOB.

At least you remembered to leave out "The" when discussing Poster Children.

I thought about putting it in there.

Cher!

Hey, I loved Kids!  Harmony Korine wrote the screenplay to that, right?






I didn't love Kids.

Actually, I did like Kids, but that was because I went to the movies incredibly high for two whole years and everything seemed good.  I even liked Mallrats and Natural Born Killers.  But no amount of weed was enough to make me like Forrest Gump.

I'm a tiny bit bummed that the John Ford thing is gone.  I wonder if I can write "Bill Hicks" now.
