I will admit that I loved George Carlin and saw him perform live four times.  The material near the end of his life was not to my liking. But hey, the guy was ancient so I choose to cut him some slack.

I think it has a lot to do with discovering someone at the right time in one's life. I was a teenager and his act was the first "racy" stand up I ever saw. Totally novel in my world.

Yeah, me too. He pretty much blew my mind when I was 14, and I think he was smart. Plus, I share his misanthropy.

I'm pretty misanthropic about misanthropes.

Yeah, I like Tarentino too.  Death Proof was probably the worst thing he's done, most of it is terrible.  However, the car chase scene is a really good car chase scene.

Manhattan is on Turner Classic Movies later this week.  For any of you who haven't seen it, you should.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

I love Death Proof from beginning to end and I know I'm in a minority with that opinion. However, if you want something to chew on check out this analysis by screenwriter Todd Alcott.
Part One: http://toddalcott.livejournal.com/258682.html
Part Two: http://toddalcott.livejournal.com/259147.html
Part Three: http://toddalcott.livejournal.com/259508.html

He's really insightful and gives the movie serious consideration.

I don't see how anyone can hate on Kill Bill.
