Still, he clearly has balls, I guess. And volume 2 gets my respect since it does away with action completely (except for one fight) and, if I remember correctly, only 1 person gets killed in it! Actually, kinda brilliant -- there's almost no real violence in it. Also, there's a loooooong stretch of the movie where the Bridge gets captured, buried, and has to fight her way out. I really love that part, everything about it, and I think the way he split up the movies was quite brilliant. Still, about half of Volume 2, I could've done without, and the final confrontation with Bill was just kinda silly.

WELL you know how I feel about Death Proof, so I won't bother. BUT I will say the "buried alive" scene in KILL BILL 2 is incredible. Maybe one of his best scenes ever. I remember in the theater feeling claustrophobic by this scnene. And the fact it leads to a flashback, and then resolution and amazing music... it's so great.
Anyway. I haven't seen any trailers for Inglorious Basterds. But I will be there. And I'm excited. And it's gonna be weeeeeiiiird. Cuz I love Tarantino and hate most war films. I expect something else entirely though
