Michael Jai White has succumbed to telling fables on Vlad TV

[Fishmonger]

Joe can kick though. Probably better than alot of the roster.

I never knew this scene existed. Kind of interesting that it was cut given it would have been the only opportunity in the films to demonstrate Bill’s skill and badass-ness. Instead in the final films we’re left wondering what he’s actually capable of because we never see him fight other than like 3 seconds against the Bride before she kills him.

I think it's better left to our imagination.

We know he trained under Pai Mei for several years. And we know he got in a fight with Pai Mei. Now of course Bill didn't win, but he must have performed well enough that Pai Mei respected him and agreed to his request that kiddo gets trained. I kind of like not seeing the action, especially since David Caradine was pretty old and didn't move all that well.

Yeah, I don't put much faith in your ability to convince me that he's not the GOAT screenwriter and one of the GOAT directors.

 

[Fishmonger]

why couldn't you put the bunny back in the box?

 

[Pizza Werewolf]

Because you had a shitty experience with two super fun movies that brought my friends and I closer. We had a great bonding experience anticipating the releases and then watching the films. We even got a kick out of one friend telling us at school one day about how he loved the soundtrack so much that he fell asleep while listening to it but then was startled awake when "Twisted Nerve" hit. Lots of great Tarantino memories from my youth.



No it's not, but this is a silly argument to have.



Yeah, I don't put much faith in your ability to convince me that he's not the GOAT screenwriter and one of the GOAT directors. You missed the boat on him and it doesn't sound like you'll be hopping on anytime soon. I hope you continue enjoying whatever non-Tarantino things you enjoy, and God forbid you have to wait six months for anything that you enjoy

This awesome montage shows all the movie scenes Quentin Tarantino has stolen from

www.sj-r.com

How can I miss the boat on someone who steals most of his best work?

While I will say he does do a good Job of taking all these ideas and making them into his own film. I think you're giving him way more credit than he deserves.

Btw we can have different experiences and opinions there is nothing wromg with that.

 

[Bullitt68]

I think you're giving him way more credit than he deserves.

And I think you're giving him way less.

 

[Pizza Werewolf]

And I think you're giving him way less.

With that quick of a response its obvious you didnt review anything posted and your loyalty is blind. Good day sir

 

[Highway99]

What filmmaker doesn't steal?

If we're going to post youtube vids:

It's 1:00 AM and I'm trying to watch Casino Royale. I don't have the time, energy, or interest to debate Tarantino's merits. But I teach film for a living and I promise I know more about Tarantino than you do, including more about his influences and the films that he's referenced. I know how he works, I know why he uses what he uses when and how he uses it, and I know what original ideas and forms of expression he infuses into his homages. In my book, he's a genius and one of the very best to ever make movies. That's a considered and informed opinion. If it's not yours, so be it, but I don't need to "review" silly YouTube videos to know of what I speak. Have you ever actually watched City on Fire? Can you list all the differences between the Psycho moment and the Pulp Fiction moment? Have you taken the time to think about what all was so unique and brilliant about Kill Bill? Between the two of us, I guarantee I've spent more time thinking about Tarantino than you have, so if anything, I encourage you to rewatch his films with an open mind.

Now, I'm going back to Casino Royale.

Nah Im good. I actually went to film school.
And back In those days it was pretty common knowledge that people who were obsessed with certain directors were the types to avoid.
You're specializing in one of them.
Have a nice night.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

That scene is atrocious. It's Death Proof level, which is the lowest level of filmmaking in Tarantino's career. The shittyness of the scene (largely due to White's horrendous performance, which absolutely should've been deleted) combined with the wise decision to let Bill move largely unseen and unknown until the end is proof that Tarantino was spot-on with his editing for the sake of the larger story.

 

[Bullitt68]

Nah Im good.

With that quick of a response it's obvious who's discussing in bad faith.

I actually went to film school.

I actually teach film school. You should take one of my classes. I've lectured on Tarantino lots of times. You could learn a thing or two, maybe expand your horizons the way they clearly weren't the first time around the film school track. I actually teach people to watch films with open minds and to try to see things they didn't notice before. This is a viewing position which prioritizes learning and growing, not stagnating as a too-cool-for-school pseudo-intellectual snob.

And back In those days it was pretty common knowledge that people who were obsessed with certain directors were the types to avoid.

This is called close-mindedness. Oh, and the only thing worse than uncritical fanboys are ignorant haters. If you were one of those in film school, there's no law that says you have to stay one forever.

Have a nice night.

Coming up on the poker scene. Craig vs Mikkelsen.

 

[Bullitt68]

Hate to burst your bubble, but I'm siding with Tarantino's instincts.

 

[pugilistico]

Lol a thread on White devolves into a thread about Tarantino because White was in a movie where his part got cut out haha.

Dude is getting ignored even in threads about him.

 

[pugilistico]

Seems to be more of a MMA and Martial Arts things to make up street fighting stories.

Never see that with boxers.

I guess because most boxers come from really rough upbringing where they got into street fights all the time. And some of them just end up either dead or in court.

I know, but he competed i think. He also has a belt in bjj doesn't he? Still, I remember when he was playing with Mark Coleman and got a little too full of himself and mark spun him and threw his dumbass into a wall. I've seen that happen before in martial arts. Some guys you can fuck with, some will do shit like that, One guy actually kicked another in the nuts for besting him at chi sao.

I guess because most boxers come from really rough upbringing where they got into street fights all the time. And some of them just end up either dead or in court.

many say they haven't or qualify "not since i was a kid". I never really heard of Ali getting into a streetfight, or Ray Robinson. After Mike Tyson got clobbered by Lewis he was saying most boxers aren't violent and most have not been in street fights. I don't know. Delahoya said he never has been in a fight, he said he actually defers to knuckleheads but don't that sound like him? The same guy who when someone was fighting someone and oscar was signing autographs, the question was posed, "who's gonna win between such and such and sucn and such" One asshole said, "so and so because he won't quit like Delahoya". Oscar smiled the whole time and continued signing autographs, I"m sorry, that's the type of stuff that maybe should have bothered him, in and out of the ring. He just wanted the dollars and he got them and after a point, he just stopped caring about anything else.

Anyway, I'd assume most boxers have been in streetfights but I've never seen stats. It's stupid for sure to use your moneymaker on an idiots head, lots of fights were postponed because of serious injuries to hands in fights. Billy Conn had to postpone the Louis rematch because of a fight he got into with his father in law and they had to wait years so the war would end. Paul Gonzales was plagued by hand problems and busted his in a street fight (recently read the guys a convicted child molestor, was shocked.) https://ktla.com/news/local-news/14...oxer-east-l-a-trainer-accused-of-molestation/

I loved Once Upon a Time, I only just saw it, I think he's right when he says it's his best. And I don't even mind him busting Bruce's chops, that's my favorite part but it's probably very out of context to Bruce's life. I wasn't there of course but I really don't think Bruce had that much swagger until he was a star in Hong Kong, sure he horsed around but that was Bruce, there's a clip where he rides up on a bike that was discovered a few years ago, that's seems more like the young man Bruce was before Hollywood fucked his head up and not only did his ego lose control, his drug use did and I believe it's all what killed him.

It has to be based on the later interviews because there is scant interview recordings of Bruce in the year 66. Of course, I don't think the Lebell thing ever happened, not with Bruce and not with Seagall in the way it was advertised. No pissing, shitting choked unconscious, just two doofus' fucking off when they're supposed to be working.

Loved almost everything about Once Upon, rewatched it more than any film since Elvis. For me, it's the 360 of the thing, the acting,, the characters, the era, you get a feel for the people and the era, dirty assed hippies included.

 

[TJ Dillashank]

First story isn't too outlandish but the second is def BS

 

[mozfonky]

He had another story when a gang wanted to beat him up but stopped when they saw him doing kata in the backyard.

must have been the 70's when he was 10. That shit used to look deadly to us.

- MJW got skills, same with Billy Blanks. But Blanks was a beast athlete with horrible story telling, i just learned that when someone pointed, before that never got why his career never took over.

Heard a rumor that Jet Li beat him in a fight, also heard a rumor that Blanks was overseas and got caught in one of those bars where they trap you into buying an expensive drink and paid when he saw how many guys there were. None too bright I guess.

Not sure whats so unbelievable about either of those stories.

me either as i didn't listen, he annoys me everytime. Did a fucking supernatural job as a young Tyson though.

Lots of footage of him on this channel

his lead is fast, not a whole lot else to like though. He claims Tyson got into his face about his portrayal of him in the movie, Mike was superior with his hands, of course.

 

[Señor Dudu Bird]

The most unbelievable story was the one where he was a good actor...

 

[LeonardoBjj]

he apparently had some old fashioned karate exp.., he did look good in the Tyson movie, no one could have done better.

- He actually got skills. Will Isbitch fans were tauting him as a badass street-fighter a couple of months ago. Because he played Ali, in a movie edited to make him look good!
