The Swallow and the Crow had an argument one day about their plumage.
Said the Swallow: “Just look at my bright and downy feathers. Your black stiff quills are not worth having. Why don’t you dress better? Show a little pride!”
“Your feathers may do very well in spring,” replied the Crow, “but—I don’t remember ever having seen you around in winter, and that’s when I enjoy myself most.”
Take that, subspace.

Re: My future in marketing is eternally just around the corner
I see Michael Madsen doing this ad -- reprising the role from Reservoir Dogs and slicing the meat with that straight razor -- in a prime time spot. 2670,000 calls to the FCC later, I see the conceptual team that came up with it looking for work in another field.

Re^2: My future in marketing is eternally just around the corner
That scene is, for whatever reason, the only one that has almost sent me walking out of a movie. Just the way it was done I guess.

Re^3: My future in marketing is eternally just around the corner
I almost walked out on that too, at the long scene where the gut-shot guy was screaming. The gore and horror crossed the line into a directorial self-indulgence of beating the audience down.

Re: My future in marketing is eternally just around the corner
Kill Bill exceeded my gore threshold, although I seem to be in the minority; I thought the movie was a waste of time; but then, I can't tolerate as much gore as I used to since I had kids.
I never did like horror movies, though, unless there was a science-fiction element, like the Alien series.

Agree, though Kill Bill seemed so cartoonish that it was easy to dismiss, and hard to take the rest seriously too. Tarantino is an interesting director but ultimately he’s not a very good one.
