(I have to say, the spot where he threw the woman out of the truck and she promptly went through the windshield of a passing bus was surprising and reasonably cool. It was DIFFERENT, at least.)

The magical force field that marines have was impressive too. 5000 degrees of flames can go, like, a foot away from a marine's face and he'll just shrug it off.

Quentin Tarantino: "One of the greatest movies ever made."
Oh Quentin.

I think Quentin was being openly sarcastic. For example, I said that Steve Austin movie was one of the best ever made and I knew I meant it in a sick, perverted way. Itsthe kindof perverse urge that makes you want to go see that last Rambo movie on opening night, rent Transorphers, and drink beers with friends while making fun of Attack Of The Gryphon or The Killing of Satan.

And excuse my keyboard, its being a bitch and its batteries are dying.

consider your keyboard excused.

Remember The Marines originally got that heat force field from fighting the Lava Monster

quentin tarantino isn't really being sarcastic. he really loves ridiculous stylized violence, and it's hard to tell when he's laughing at the audience and when he's laughing with them. that's the kind of movies he makes.

I love that in our society, "Dueling Banjos" from Deliverance has become synonymous with anal rape.
