| And there are tons more of those words. But the plusses on this are * This will be a Quentin Tarantino flick. It is special. If the guy made 2 pictures a year I doubt Mr. Mayflower would be so disappointed, because he expected something mind-blowing. But instead he found he didn�t appreciate nor it met up to his expectations. When I read this stack, I knew I would like it. If I really did or not. Just like A.I.. But like A.I. I couldn�t objectively experience it, since I knew a lot about what was going to happen. But I truly liked it, for it is just 222 pages of Tarantino-fun. * There will be lots of Japanese spoken by the characters, including Uma. Thank god this won�t be one of those movies, which all Russians speak English with a bad Rrrrrussjan accent. * The swordfights are outstanding. Many call it the greatest in film history. And to me it is, along the lines with Blade, the best I�ve ever read. This will be bloody, but it will be �artisticly� shot too (crazy camera movements; Black and White). * I liked the little plottwist during the last chapter. If any other person would have written it, I would�ve spot a mile ahead. But since he�s not convential, the cliches work on him. * The dialogue is vividly written. You know how some characters will be like by just reading the words they speak. * The pace is extremely high. Sometimes even too high. This doesn�t feel like 222 pages at all. This piece of celluloid will rush you by as a candycake. I might have mentioned more negative points than positive, but don�t get me wrong. I really really liked this. The negative points are minor. I�m dying to see this, how he�s going to handle the scenes, how the characters become real. Mostly the screenplays are better than the film itself, but I have a strange feeling I�m wrong. Quentin has solely directed 3 great highly influential films. And looking at the current revival of the Shaw-movies and interess in those movies I�m eager to be right. Or as Pai Mei says PAI MEI (to The Bride) It's the wood that should fear your hand, not the other way around. No wonder you can't do it, you acquiesce to defeat before you even begin. Translation SPRITE (to Darwin) It�s the script that should fear the movie, not the other way around. No wonder you don�t believe Quentin can�t do it, you comply to critical failure before you have even seen the thing. My point Who uses �acquiesce� nowadays anyway?
