I didn't grow up watching 70's martial arts flicks nor do I know any of the movies referenced in this movie. But, ya know, I kinda feel like I did after seeing it. Tarantino has been an aquired taste for me. My first experience with his directing was watching Pulp Fiction. I didn't like it much at all. Actually, I couldn't see what the big deal was. I laughed only once during the entire experience - [spoiler]when Vincent Vega blows off Marvin's head accidentally[/spoiler]. That was the only part I liked. Same for Jackie Brown upon viewing it for the first time. I thought it was crap. A few years past and for some reason I ended up watching Pulp Fiction again. It blew me away even though I knew what was coming in every scene. It almost felt like a huge *CLICK* in my brain. I got why people liked the movie and understood where the writer/director was coming from. The film wasn't about the story or really even the characters. It was about the experience and the style.  Tarantino's movies have never been big sellers or huge money-makers. They are not everyone's cup of tea. Many people simply don't get his films. I can understand why someone could see any of his films as stupid, pointless, characterless and so on. It may seem like that on the surface. I've been there. But I'm glad I'm in a better place now.</blockquote>
