I think we also have to applaud Tarantino for his incredible casting choices, not just in this, but in all of his films. Say what you will, but he always squeezes every last drop of greatness out of all of his actors. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by Kristina and thank you for having me!

Carradine in this role probably reminded me more of the magnetism of his father than any other, he just was fantastic and had a lot of "meat" in this script. Wouldn't be nearly so good with anyone weaker, or with his interesting movie/tv history. Nice, and thanks for being part of this event -- really glad you did :) Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11659951781597698530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-48581027815380525772014-04-24T22:46:43.343-04:002014-04-24T22:46:43.343-04:00I think Bill is a GREAT choice, Andrew.

I do feel sorry for him at the end as I think that maybe he didn't mean for events to unfold as they did, and at some point he did love Beatrix. Or perhaps that's just what the romantic in me wants to believe!

My complaint about Vol. 1 is that I can't follow the story for all the action, but Vol. 2 was compelling, and Carradine's relaxed vibe as the villain is one reason why.carygrantwonteatyou.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113307554617254662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-6830428179094753022014-04-23T20:08:13.260-04:002014-04-23T20:08:13.260-04:00Very neat study of an iconic baddy in Tarantino...Very neat study of an iconic baddy in Tarantino's pantheon of villains.

I could've easily done a whole piece on Tarantino's villains and made it a piece on Bill, The Deadly Vipers, the Christoph Waltz character from Inglorious Basterds and the DiCaprio character from Django. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks again!Andrew D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13875921908336809524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-30135717753778565912014-04-23T15:00:32.402-04:002014-04-23T15:00:32.402-04:00I love the kill bill movies.

For example people give me the same shocked look when I say I don't care for pulp fiction, but I love kill bill and I liked the latest film with jamie fox. Just kind of hit and miss for me. But bill is definitely one of his coolest baddies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12529802600026047951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-27073025031404819782014-04-22T22:43:18.507-04:002014-04-22T22:43:18.507-04:00Thanks!
