He pulls off Mainstream art, how DOES he do it?!..

By him, I mean Quentin Tarantino. After seeing Kill Bill 2 the other day, all I can say is this: QT is one of the greatest creative minds of our day, and no other director is capable of taking something so much like an indie art film and making it into a huge smash success.

QT's use of odd camera angles, light, absence of light, color, lack thereof, and camera tricks reminiscent of old Japanese B movie samurai flicks make for one of the most enjoyable theater experiences I have had in years. His script almost comes off as Shakespearian prose as you listen to it, and the soundtrack blends elements of music that have never before been intermixed.

When Kill Bill 2 comes out on DVD, I know I'll be scoring a copy of it, and I plan to watch Volume 1 and 2 back to back, and I encourage everyone to do the same. I'll be the best 4+ hours of your week, I assure you.
