both kill bills were 2 of my favorite films of the last decade.
i never once felt like they were going for th 'cool factor' - i totally understood tarantinos vision because it is similar to mine .. i also grew up with the grindhouse chop socky films/blscksploitation films this guy loves.
the films he is emulating were at the time trying very hard to be cool (which gave them their charm) so it is fair that this would come through in the Kill Bills, but its appropriate in this case.
i remember watching these films and just thinking 'wow' finally something that delivers.
i dont want to harp on the age thing but maybe it helped that i grew up in the 60's/70's ... i completely understood the direction of these films.
(i'm sure you 'understood' them too .. but you didnt live through it .. so nostalgia plays a big roll)
