I don’t know if it’s how **RickJay** did it, but [Drew’s Script-o-Rama](http://www.script-o-rama.com/) is generally a good source. There is an “early draft” of _Kill Bill_ posted, but I have no idea how accurate it is. ---

I don’t think Uma Thurman is all that great to look at any more. As far as females who lose a certain amount of beauty due to the evils of Hollywood sucking it out of them like vampires, imo she’s lost some of it. Now when she played Venus in _The Adventures of Baron Munchausen_ she was really really good looking. Having said that, unlike others who seem to be swinging towards the **Babes with Blades** aspect of this if I go see it it will be for the Michael Madsen factor, aka Mr Blonde from Resevoir Dogs. From what people have said here, I think the more you know about the genres that Tarantino is putting into his film, the more you will enjoy it. People who are utterly clueless as to what is going on might enjoy it but might also end up walking out of the theatre going, “I don’t get it.” What would make this a GREAT Quintan Taratino movie? NOT HAVING QUENTIN TARATINO IN IT!! He can compile a great soundtrack, he can write a compelling script, but that freaky geeky Frankenstein could not act his way out of a wet paper bag.

Oh I don’t know, I kind of like Tarantino’s obligatory cameos. I think he is hilarious as Jimmy, Mr. Brown, and especially his too-brief role in pal Robert Rodriguez’s Desperado. If Woody Allen gets to star in every one of his movies, I say let Quentin get in there and give a monologue! ---

So… no word on why **Kill Bill** isn’t avail for advance tix sales online? ---

Not sure about advance ticket sales. I know my local Alamo Drafthouse has tickets onsale, but I checked [www.moviefone.com](http://www.moviefone.com) and I didn’t see a way to buy tickets for toher theaters from there. Then again, I never buy tickets online so I might not have looked in the right place. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Me \* > \*\*The Coens and Tarantino are on my “OD” list (“Opening Day, Hell or High Water”), so I’ll be seeing both films October 10 (with a long dinner in between). I haven’t decided which one will come first. Probably **Intolerable Cruelty** since I like the Coens a bit more than Tarantino. > > While I’d like to see the whole thing in one sitting, I do like the 2 movies idea. Once I see a movie from my OD list, I know it’s probably going to be a couple or more years before I’ll see another movie from that director. It’ll be nice knowing that I’ll be able to see another Tarantino film in just 4 months. I’ll be able to see the whole thing in one sitting when it comes out on DVD. > > **Jackie Brown** is my favorite Tarantino film too, and I’ve never seen a 70’s Blaxploitation flick. I love all his movies though. Like the Coens and a few other directors, he’s already proved to me that he can Do No Wrong. I know there’s always a first time, but if they haven’t disappointed me yet, chances are good that they probably won’t in the future. \*\* The track record stands. Tarantino can still Do No Wrong. I loved **Kill Bill** both times I’ve seen it and will probably see it a couple more times in the theater. It ended perfectly and though I am impatient for the second part, I love the fact that another movie is coming. The Coens bobbled a bit. I liked **Intolerable Cruelty** a lot, and thought it was very funny (saw it second, btw), but I didn’t love it. It might grow on me. It’s down there with Hudsucker Proxy on my list of favorite Coen films. ---

I loved Kill Bill both times I’ve seen it and will probably see it a couple more times in the theater. It ended perfectly and though I am impatient for the second part, I love the fact that another movie is coming.** I was expecting something like: _Kill Bill_ is to martial arts films as _Resevior Dogs_ is to heist films; but I didn’t get that same feel from _Kill Bill_. But then, maybe I was hoping for the martial arts action that I wanted to see, as opposed to Q.T. So when I had a chance to see it again, I went for it and it was better the second time around. I had forgotten how good of a director Q.T. is. I’ll probably see it again. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anybody-else-excited-about-kill-bill/203770.md?page=3)
