I have an hour to kill waiting on the WoW beta to finish so this might be long. :)

Also, apologies if any of my questions get answered before I post this. I'd bet that someone is going to respond before I get done typing.

What about QT's films doesn't Mrs Ochhi like? I'm curious because my girlfriend watches his movies more than I do. Is it the violence, does she not enjoy his style?

Just curious. :)

Getting into it, QT''s storytelling and style are the two things that I enjoy most about his films. He always has a great song playing in the background during all the "big" scenes.
It's more than just the music though. His films, specifically, Kill Bill 1 & 2 have incredible sets and the effects are.......in your face but still usually contain a nod to past movie standards.

The scene where the Crazy 88s enter the club is a great example. Awesome music during the whole club scene, IMO. The girl in the schoolgirl outfit, the 88s, O'ren, and lets not forget Uma a little later on in the scene all have memorable outfits.

It's the little things about the films that make them good. His films always end up in the category of movies that I see something new in every time I watch, a little detail that makes me want to watch the movie yet again.

His twisted, time-wise, stories are how he likes to write I guess because they seem to mostly be the same to me. Not that the stories are necessarily repetitive but the techniques he uses to tell those stories are.

Download almost done. If you'd like to get into a more in-depth discussion of certain movies, I'm all for it.

About kill Bill 2, wjithout spoiling it so I will say very little, the movie is "good". Take that for what you will. I liked it but individual tastes vary. I like the first one more, my girlfriend liked the second better. It's a little less action intense and more cerebral, I guess but that doesn't seem the best word. I can't think of one better though.

Kill Bill 2 explains some more of the backstory, and also gives some more character backgroud.

It's a safe bet that if you like the first Kull Bill and have enjoyed other QT films, you will enjoy Kill Bill 2. I just think you will like one better than the other.
