Kill Bill

[Mark Kohut]

I remember an interview with Tarantion in which he said he does not read...he is inspired by movies [life?] and movies alone.

<< Is Tarentino an example of violence porn posing as art or art posing as violence porn? This movie sounds ill timed and foul coming after events in Gaza and Lebanon. During the reign of Cheney I didn't see any Christian ninjas rising up in righteous vengeance , no oriental ninjas, and no Jewish ninjas. I did see code pink ladies throwing rhetorical pies and a brave Iraqi hoisting his shoes.>>

Agreed. And, while the speculation about Kill Bill/Vineland parallels is interesting, I doubt Tarantino has the nous to read Pynchon. Tarantino is so one-dimensional that calling him "a one-trick pony" would make him sound much more interesting than he actually is.
