ah yes the anime.... good god the anime... 
Nonono... no spolierin', buuut... I would have to say that I felt that the movie, I feel, stands alone just as fully as say, the Empire Strikes Back, not that I'm comparing them in any way, just saying I fully trust Quentin when he says that he feels the cut works, and it really is kinda nice to have the episodic feel to it.
I'll bet most "people" (pedestrian-moviegoers) would have had worse reactions to it had it been one 3+hour epic that they couldn't quite understand, as opposed to the two shorter films which they will not understand. At least in this neck of the woods (that neck being ever-so red), it feels like people aren't very huzzah about the film (LIKE THEY SHOULD BE) and are instead kinda "oh it's ok" or "it's not my type of movie" except for the friends of mine who are true film appreciaters. You'd have to see it to know what I mean, but the ending of Vol. I, to me, was very satisfying. I don't know why all the hubbub.
Also, does anyone know about how long Vol. II is expected to be? I clocked Vol. I in at just about the 2 hour mark I believe. Does that mean we're looking at a 1&1/4 hour Vol. II? (I keep hearing "3+ hour film" being used, to me that says "3 hrs, 10 min.") I hope not. I guess I'll find out in February.
And lastly, I'm curious about Tarantino's next flick scheduled for 2005 called "Inglorious Bastards". Have y'all heard anything about it yet? I hear it'll be set in WWII Europe with some U.S. soldiers about to be executed and then getting a chance at reprive. Quint says it'll be heavily spaghetti-western in the vein of the Dirty Dozen. Neato. I can't wait. For now though, Kill Bill.
