exquisitely contained which made them seem all the more powerful.
Max Cherry seems so real I expect to run into him in a mall at any time (hopefully never at a bond shop!).
Bridget's character is just as classic as Sean Penn's turn as Jeff Spicolli. A classic.
What made Jackson's character so ominous were the parts of his humanity which managed to shine through occasionally like his almost imperceptible, but visible, grief when his "little surfer girl" was shot.
One of Tarantino's greatest skills is coaxing the best of performances out of his characters.
I'm on tenterhooks for his next film. The Kill Bills were classics, as well, with all the attributes of his other three fine films.

I love Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown but the first Kill Bill was just so-so while the second was completely idiotic, Tarantino going the Robert Rodriguez way.

- Actually, the Bills are very Tarantino. He's just evolving. Remember, - tinear 09:51:42 01/16/06 (0)
  these really are one film.
  The "first" one sets the scene for the "second."
  Lots of action, but you are introduced to the indomitable Uma and the horror that sets the chain of events into motion.
  I see the movie as a portrait of her, as a love story gone very wrong, and find it a fascinating character-driven story. The various women she tracks down are all fully developed characters, and so are some of the secondary characters, such as the knee-stocking girlish killer.
  The violence kind of blinded me the first viewing but I found upon the second and third I was a bit inured and the story line came out much stronger.
  Hey, I'm a stoned Quentin fan, what can I say? From the Pussy Wagon to the white-haired martial arts guru, this film had me.
