Went to the premiere last night, totally clean: never read the script,
stayed away from reviews, listened to no spoilers.

My God, I love that movie. It is, without a doubt, the best flick I've seen
all year - maybe the best flick I've seen in five years. It made me so
insanely happy. When the credits rolled, I felt proud in a weird way,
just because I make movies at the same company Quentin does.

It was the perfect marriage of "movie" and "film": extremely
entertaining, engrossing and satisfying, and also moving, inspiring
and heart-wrenching. It's a masterpiece. It's "Pulp" good. Shit, it's
better than "Pulp" good.

From the opening quote on the screen (cheekily credited to the least
expected source), to the closing line (the best piece of cliff-hanging
dialogue since "Empire Strikes Back"), "Kill Bill" delivers in ways few
movies ever do.

The whole cast is wonderful (with Uma Thurman and Lucy Lieu being
the stand-outs). "The House of Blue Leaves" segment is brilliant.
The anime' sequence is so great, it may finally introduce
manga/anime into the mainstream. It's shot beautifully. The music
choices are flawless. The sound is rich and daring. It's just flat-out
phenomenal.

I've always loved the guy's work, but this flick is proof positive that
Quentin's a mad genius. I'm gushing like a fan-boy, I know; but I can't
help myself. It's the kinda flick that makes me remember why I got
into filmmaking in the first place. I'm going to see it a few times in
theaters when it's released - something I haven't done in ages.

I wish everyone here had seen it already so we can post back and
forth about it.

Shit, it was great. Great, great, great. God bless Quentin and
Miramax for making this flick.
