I made it halfway through part 1 and ceased to give a shit.
Fair enough. Part Two is better, but I can see why the brutal obviousness of it could be pretty off putting. But like I said, I like it for the pretty filler, and for me, that's all Kill Bill needed. A movie like Ingluorious, or Django really suffers when you treat subjects that should be treated with respect as cannon fodder, never mind the fact that the stories are just dumb. If you're going to do a revisionist history, at least make it interesting. I completely agree with you about Death Proof. I was soooo bored, but I wanted to see Planet Terror, so I stayed. Otherwise, I think that would've ended up on my shortlist of movies that I've walked out of (and it's a very short list; my tolerance for shitty movies is really high). I would say Death Proof is unarguably Tarantino's worst movie. Even if it was supposed to be recreating the "Grindhouse" feel, you should at least try harder than some 1970's filmmaker who probably had a microscopic budget and little to no talent. Shameful, really.
