for those that care...here is what Kevin Smith said about the film....

"Went to the premiere last night, totally clean: never read the script,
stayed away from reviews, listened to no spoilers.

My God, I love that movie. It is, without a doubt, the best flick I've seen
all year - maybe the best flick I've seen in five years. It made me so
insanely happy. When the credits rolled, I felt proud in a weird way,
just because I make movies at the same company Quentin does.

It was the perfect marriage of "movie" and "film": extremely
entertaining, engrossing and satisfying, and also moving, inspiring
and heart-wrenching. It's a masterpiece. It's "Pulp" good. Shit, it's
better than "Pulp" good.

From the opening quote on the screen (cheekily credited to the least
expected source), to the closing line (the best piece of cliff-hanging
dialogue since "Empire Strikes Back"), "Kill Bill" delivers in ways few
movies ever do.

The whole cast is wonderful (with Uma Thurman and Lucy Lieu being
the stand-outs). "The House of Blue Leaves" segment is brilliant.
The anime' sequence is so great, it may finally introduce
manga/anime into the mainstream. It's shot beautifully. The music
choices are flawless. The sound is rich and daring. It's just flat-out
phenomenal.

I've always loved the guy's work, but this flick is proof positive that
Quentin's a mad genius. I'm gushing like a fan-boy, I know; but I can't
help myself. It's the kinda flick that makes me remember why I got
into filmmaking in the first place. I'm going to see it a few times in
theaters when it's released - something I haven't done in ages.

I wish everyone here had seen it already so we can post back and
forth about it.

Shit, it was great. Great, great, great. God bless Quentin and
Miramax for making this flick."

I think he liked it.

That's exactly how I felt. Harry Knowles' review is also really good. I'm trying to write my full-length review of it, but I think I might need to see it again first.

I just did!!! i only got the email about 3 minutes before i posted my first response, you need to sign up for angelika's email thingie so you can get the occasional free pass, and if you havent done so either, sign up for landmarks, they also give out passes, but they will usually do it weekly, whereas angelika does this once in a blue moon.

***Possible spoilers but i will try to refrain from spoling them to you, ths film needs to be seen with as little knowledge as possible, i wish i could have go into this one cold, perhaps having only seen the trailer, but last year i read the first part of the screenplay so i had an idea of how things were going to play out as i was watching this.




Well alrighty, I just had the chance of seeing Kill Bill this morning and this film is going to make every fanboy cream in their pants, this film will be talked about for years and will be copied upon, mark my words.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, the opening title card reads and from there on it never lets up, you dont ever really have a chance to breathe, it hits you with one thing upon the next and when the final words are spoken you will wish for feb to be here tomorrow, fuck that, you will want it now!! God, i dont even really know where to begin and i really hate to say more, i really cant wait until the 10th when every single one of you will be on here and this thread will reach beyond 100 pages. But believe everything you have heard and read, this will knock you on your ass, you will cheer, maybe not outloud but to yourself you will, you are introduced to these characters so fast that you still feel for them, its hard for a movie to do this but this one pulls it off nicely, i really want to go into more but i'll stop here and just wait till everyone else sees it

P.S. Dont even bother standing up when you see Written and  Directed by QT
