Its interesting that you both lost interest in QT after Kill Bill, because I'm young enough where Kill Bill was not only the first QT film I ever saw, but was the catalyst for my appreciation of film beyond Jim Carrey, Jerry Lewis, and Adam Sandler.
I was 12 when KB1 came out in 2003. Soon after, an AIM friend sent me Gummo via their file transfer function, and I stumbled on Eraserhead in the horror section of Best Buy. I was suddenly obsessed.
KB1 also features that animated bit by Katsuhito Ishii. The wild ass Verhoeven-inspired director behind Taste of Tea, and Funky Forest: First Contact

antonioni made a movie based on that story but set in london and different characters. some people think it’s a bit of a failure in capturing the swinging 60s london, but i love it. i think you’d get a kick out of it. malcolm mcdowell is great in it and his character was based on a real dude of the times.
de palma as i understand substituted a microphone for the camera, but same basic idea?

Haha yup, sounds about right. I've only seen Identification of a Woman and L'Avventura from Antonioni. I've always loved the poster, but didnt realize that's what Blow Up was even about...

What is it about Kill Bill that you guys dont like?
The only thing I can think of is maybe that's where Tarantino's work became more kitschy. I love me some kitsch and sleaze. De Palma, Argento, John Waters, etc.
