Gogo is the best! But she's dead

About a second Kill Bill. Well here's the rumor:
We'll have to way and see I guess! But that could be cool

That would be fucking awesome...

Hmmm...I read there was going to be a third one and it was going to involve the child of the first woman Uma killed in Vol 1. (I can't for the life of me remember her name right now) being trained by Sophie and coming back to get revenge on Uma for killing her mom.

That sounds cool for the third movie, if there is one.

As for Volume 2 - I might see it this Friday, Saturday, depends if I work that night or not. I really liked the first one..."Now...wiggle your big toe!!"

The scene with Uma versus all them ninjas was brilliant, same with the animated part with Lucy Liu (whatever her name in the movie is)...I'm one of the..few? who has no idea what the names of all the characters are. Can't remember worth shit. But I'm lookin forward to the 2nd one

The Bride
Bill
Budd
Vernita Green
O-Ren Ishii
Hattori Hanzo
Sophie Fatale
Elle Driver
Buck

Fanboy alert!

Oo I sooo want to see Vol. 2 but I have a stupid class all day Friday AND one all day Saturday (well, not ALL day...9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Maybe I can see it that night or Sun. afternoon. I want to see it though

im also really lookin forward to the soundtrack, if its anything like the first one I'll have to get that one too...=]

Great topic. I saw Kill Bill volumne 1 the day it came out. And bought the dvd today. Can't wait till Volume 2 comes out this friday.

Entertainment Weekly did interview Quantin:

Somehow I don't think we've seen the last of her. Have you thought about a ''Kill Bill -- Vol. 3''?
Oh yeah, initially I was thinking this would be my ''Dollars'' trilogy. I was going to do a new one every 10 years. But I need at least 15 years before I do this again. Uma won't be the star, though she'll be in it. The star will be Vernita Green's [Vivica A. Fox's] daughter, Nikki [Ambrosia Kelley]. I've already got the whole mythology: Sofie Fatale [Julie Dreyfus] will get all of Bill's money. She'll raise Nikki, who'll take on the Bride. Nikki deserves her revenge every bit as much as the Bride deserved hers. I might even shoot a couple of scenes for it now so I can get the actresses while they're this age. It's exciting to know that somewhere there's a little girl who'll grow up to be my leading lady.

Tarantino is on the cover of EW for this week and I'll post a little of what he's said about KB vol.2 and a possible vol.3

EW:let's start with KB 2. Turns out it's a love story. Who knew? And I'm not just talking about Kill and the Bride.

QT: I love the Bride, I LOVE her, all right? I want her to be happy. I don't want to come up with screwed-up scenarios that she has to fight the whole rest of her life. I killed myself to put her in a good place at the end of this long journey.

EW: Some how I dont think we've seen the last of her. Have you ever though about a KB-vol.3?

QT: Oh yeah, initially I was thinking this would be my Dollars trilogy. I was going to do a new oneevery 10 years. But I need at least 15 years before I do this again. Uma wont be the star, though she'll still be in it. The star will be Vernita Greens [Vivica A. Fox's] daughter, Nikki [Ambrosia Kelley]. I've already got athe whole mythology: Sofie Fatale [Julie Dryfus] Will get all of Bill's money. She'll raise Nikki, who'll take on the Bride. Nikki deserves her revenge every bit as much as the Bride deserved hers. I might even shoot a couple of scense for it now so I can get the actresses while they're this age. It's exciting to know that somewhere there's a little girl who'll grow up to be my leading lady.

EW:When you see movies, are you watching as a fan or as a filmmaker? Do you fix sloppy editing or rewrite scenes in your head?

QT:My goal is to be a film fan. If I see mistakes in tone or rhythm, I might start thinking, Okay, I would do this. But I can still enjoy the film. If I were teaching a class or having a serious conversation with somebody about it, I could point out deficiencies I wouldn't allow in my own work, but I forgive it if I like it.

EW:If you were teaching a class on your own films, what deficiencies would you point out?

QT:The answer is none. I'm sure somebody else might find weaknesses, but I can't. If there's a weakness, I don't do it -- you'll never see the scene.

EW:So what recent movies have you enjoyed?

QT:I can't believe it, but I really liked the remake of ''Dawn of the Dead.'' It was terrific. I don't really expect to see much better filmmaking in any set piece this year than that. I was almost offended when [they announced] a remake -- I mean, the idea of remaking a George Romero film without George Romero! And there are things about the new ''Dead'' that don't compare favorably at all. [In the original], Romero used [mostly] amateur actors from Pittsburgh, and they're giving their all, and you just completely buy into their characters in this world gone wrong. They become your friends. It wasn't like a character in a movie just got killed, it was like, Oh, this is horrible. It had the most intense character study of almost any pure genre movie. Even the zombies had personalities.

You have gotten either the best or one of the best performances out of every actor you've worked with. Do you think it has to do with writing your characters with actors in mind?
I do write characters for certain actors, like, say, Honey Bunny [Amanda Plummer] and Pumpkin [Tim Roth] in ''Pulp Fiction,'' but I'm also trying to find out who the actor is so I can add that to the character. The most I ever wrote for one person is ''Kill Bill,'' for Uma. And sometimes I write characters for actors who don't play them, and then have to reinvent the character.

EW:You mean like Warren Beatty, the original Bill, versus David Carradine?

[Beatty felt Carradine was better suited to the role.]

QT:Exactly. With Warren, Bill would have been much more of the sexy old lion, a James Bond character -- James Bond as a villain. David has a mystical quality and that became more important at the end [of the movie].... People always ask me, Who are actors you'd like to work with? Well, there's a lot of actors I'd love to work with, but I don't think that way. I want to come up with the right combination of character and movie and actor. Usually the opposite happens. They get the actor, and then, okay, f--- it if it's right or not, make it right, all right? I think that's one of the reasons why my casting is so good, and why the actors are so good.

EW:Well, why should we be any different? Who would you like to work with?

QT:Tom Hanks. He's got kind of a snide side in real life that I really like. It's a biting sense of humor that hasn't 100 percent been capitalized on. He's a wonderful comedic actor -- he was even terrific in ''Turner & Hooch,'' a little f---ing ''Rin Tin Tin'' story; his acting elevates it. But I've also wanted to work with Johnny Depp forever, and he's wanted to work with me, but it has to be special. The same thing with Daniel Day-Lewis.

EW:Madonna has been a conversation point in a few of your films. Are you interested in working with her?

QT:I've always said that Madonna has gotten a bad rap. She was the only actor who knew what she was doing in ''Dick Tracy.'' She was my favorite in ''A League of Their Own.'' If I had something right for her, I would totally cast her.

EW:After seeing ''Reservoir Dogs,'' I never would have pegged you for a feminist. But ''Jackie Brown'' and ''Kill Bill'' are female-empowerment fests. Jackie and the Bride are two of the most multidimensional women ever to be seen in genre films.

QT:I almost feel weird categorizing it as feminist. It's more of a femininity, an appreciation for women rather than a label. But it's not hard to figure it out. I was raised by a single mom who came from white-trash beginnings. She created a very nice career for herself as an executive -- a legend in her own time in the HMO field. From the very beginning I never considered that there were boundaries, things a woman can and can't do. I had my mom as an example of someone who came from nothing, who paid her own way, had nice s---, drove a Cadillac Seville. She was living the life.

EW:Motherhood is a big part of ''Kill Bill 2.'' Since you've been quoted as saying the Bride is you, does that mean you're thinking about having kids?

QT: Oh yeah, totally. I can honestly say that all that baby stuff would not have been in ''Kill Bill'' if I hadn't written the part for Uma. We are best friends, and when I was writing the script it was a good excuse to hang out with her. And if you hang out with Uma, you're going to hang out with her kids. I had a wonderful connection with her daughter, Maya. Actually, the truthful answer is that Maya made me want to have kids. [She] showed me I'd be a good father.

EW:One critic suggested that no one with a child could have written the scene where the Bride kills Vernita in front of her child.

QT:I completely and utterly disagree. When you're dealing in the genres of Hong Kong kung fu films and spaghetti Westerns, or even American Westerns, that is an absolute staple of those movies -- the child on the prairie sees his parents slaughtered and spends the rest of his life avenging the deaths. At that moment the child is dead and the warrior is born -- that's the symbolism.

EW:So how do you imagine Quentin Tarantino, boy wonder, at 60?

QT: I won't be making movies, that's for sure. I want to get some movie theaters -- I'm kind of a frustrated theater owner anyway. And I want to have a good life and let the filmography stand on its own. I don't want to be some old guy pitching f---ing scripts.

EW: Do you ever worry that your moment has passed? As popular as ''Kill Bill'' was, it didn't have the watercooler buzz of ''Reservoir Dogs'' or ''Pulp Fiction.''

QT:It's not something I think about. ''Pulp Fiction'' was a phenomenon. You can't count on making a phenomenon every time out of the gate or you'll be one sorry bastard. And when you make a movie as violent as ''Kill Bill,'' you can't be surprised when people don't want to see it. Harvey Weinstein always says, ''We could make $100 million if people weren't drowning in blood!'' [Laughs.]




EDIT: oh fuck someone beat me to it. Oh fuck I'm stupid, being a subscriber to the magazine I could have just logged in and got the interview off there. ok I'll just post the whole interview.
