the difficulty with self-indulgent films ...

I got a lot of respect for Tarrentino, though I know that's not the consensus on this board. Basically, he was able to make a film that compromised to no one, has turned a profit for his fianciers, and so he will continue to make films that please himeself and whoever cares to join him on his own terms. Some might call it self-indulgent, and I wouldn't say that's an incorrect label to attach to the Kill Bill films.

I like the films, but I didn't love them.

However, the sticky issue I throw out is this. Often we watch films and complain that the studios mucked with them or held back the director to make them mainstream. And we long for the days when the director had "final cut" and could make his vision come to life as he sees it.

Yeah, we cheer when a band refuses to edit down a single just for radio playability, or when Elvis Costello changes the plan and jumps into "Radio Radio" on a TV performance, and we boo when the Stones changed words in "Let's Spend the Night Together" for a TV perforance. Kill Bill does that. So shouldn't we applaud Tarrentiono for going forward with his vision, no holds barred?
