Can certain...Ahhh....I did over look that somewhat. Can certainly appreciate that! Fuuny I've just read Ian Fleming's Bond novel The Spy Who loved Me and I don't think you would appreciate it all!! It is soooooo misogynist and I can't believe he was ever allowed to get it printed!!<br /> It was appalling and he states that ' <br />all woman like semi-rape, They like to be taken'.!!!!!!! Yeah I don't need to say any more do I?!! I wrote a review if want a more detailed look at it. I like the Bond novels but Fleming was a real jerk being sexist, misogynit, racist, xenophobic,homophobic etc, etc, etc. I wrote somewhere the novels are a litany of hate! The movies fortunately don't follow the tone and much the better for it.BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170443308250983581.post-29529435141162549452011-08-10T12:55:38.098-07:002011-08-10T12:55:38.098-07:00Nope, not the violence.

It certai...Sin City's violence a bit much huh?! It certainly was ultra violent and I can appreciate that. For me it didn't really bother me as I don't take Tarantino/ Rodriquez's bloodshed too seriously. <br /> But I do draw the line at Hostel and Saw as the whole thing has a nastier darker tone that hits the wrong cord for me whereas Taratino is just so tongue in cheek about it all. I mean how can anyone take the body count in Kill Bill seriously? That is the whole point and the quiet send up Taratino is so good at.BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170443308250983581.post-65307238919414362582011-08-09T11:53:54.092-07:002011-08-09T11:53:54.092-07:00It's hard to pick just one.

Also LOVE Reservoir Dogs. <br /><br />Sin City is one of only two movies I walked out on (the other was the sequel to The Matrix). I loved when Rodriguez did Planet Terror but that's pretty much it. Sin City was visually stunning but I did not enjoy it in the least. I only got about halfway through, if that.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08400880202232098855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170443308250983581.post-91514207705791953252011-08-09T05:27:02.529-07:002011-08-09T05:27:02.529-07:00What's your favorite Tarantino film??
For me...What's your favorite Tarantino film?? <br /> For me I've always liked Kill Bill Vol. 1. When it was released it had some really cutting edge techniques and I had to see it twice on the big screen as it just had me in awe. And the soundtrack!! He is just such a genius for putting the perfect track to each scene. <br /> He's an egotistical arsehole, but he's such a genius I can over look it!<br /> Do you like Robert Rodriquez as well? I like his films alot as he's in the mold of Tarantino, no surprise since they have collaborated on numerous projects really. Sin City is an absolute all time fav. Just visually staggering. I loved the mix of black and white with coloured character. And for me he and Tarantino are the only film makers around who are making interesting films. They always bring out a new film that has new techniques that are ahead of the pack.BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170443308250983581.post-32455490071870414762011-08-08T08:00:38.335-07:002011-08-08T08:00:38.335-07:00@Brent: I love that DiCaprio is playing the villai...@Brent: I love that DiCaprio is playing the villain. He needs a challenge. As for Costner, I agree. He's been ragged on by the press far too often. Sure, he's not the greatest actor in the world but he's charming and likeable and I think he could have a lot of fun with Tarantino's dialogue. <br /><br />I can't wait!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08400880202232098855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170443308250983581.post-50280690880736941732011-08-08T07:59:19.198-07:002011-08-08T07:59:19.198-07:00@Tom: Hey!

He's the best in the world in my opinion, and one of the few directors that have crossed over from just being great to the realm of genius!<br /> Looking forward to this with aniticpation. And you're right Deathproof was far from bad!<br /> The cast is a good one. will be interesting to see how Tatantino wrings sadism out of DeCaprio as he generally plays the good guy roles. I like Costner and hope that he gets himself back on track, maybe this will be what does it for him.BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170443308250983581.post-60653795228251994512011-08-06T09:14:31.005-07:002011-08-06T09:14:31.005-07:00Hello laura nice post! please accept the invite I ...Hello laura nice post! please accept the invite I sent you for the blog group.
