I get the references. I'm a movie buff, if not a total martial arts fanatic.But all I could think about, catching KBI & II in theaters, was: "what a waste of talent."
I admire the execution of KB, but man, it has to be the weakest QT script in a long time. Can Tarantino quit wanking himself and make the really good movie so many people think he's capable of? I sure don't know, but KB wasn't it. After Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and (especially) Jackie Brown, I thought maybe he was gonna do something special.
I'm OK with genre movies, pulp, noir, chop-saki et al. But I'm still waitin' for QT to justify all the praise heaped upon his balding head. Can he make amovie for grown-ups? I wish he'd try.
