I love that Quentin Tarantino still wears Kangols and Wu-Wear hoodies. I hope he wears Karl Kani overalls and Lugz boots to the Oscars. With a beeper.
“While it’s easy to make comparisons between characters from the film and teams around the league, there’s one striking and bizarre real life similarity between the film and Bryant’s play. In the film, every time the theme from “Iron Side” played, the audience expects to witness a serious amount of ass kicking and whenever that Kobe Jaw jaunt makes an appearance, the audience expects to witness Bryant go supernova and attempt to beat whatever poor unfortunate soul that happens to stand in his way single handily.”
Epic post from skeetonmischa comparing Kobe’s plight to that of The Bride in Tarantino’s KILL BILL. Never enough hoops/film comparisons. ALSO: NBA Finals start in less than 2 hours. LAKERS GONNA LAKE.

“Well, if this is it old boy, I hope you don’t mind if I go out speaking the Kings.”
SIDENOTE: I was going to, probably will still, write a review on this film sometime soon. Planning on starting up a movie blog where I’ll chronicle a film every other day or so, writing reviews and posting other otherwise nerdy information that’s probably only interesting to myself. Verdict though, I liked it. But felt as if there were chunks missing. I’m hoping it’s a lot like Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven director’s cut where all the missing pieces fell back into place and turned out something epic. Regardless, some really great scenes with top-notch dialogue, some great acting (best movie villain in quite a long time I might add), and overall pretty entertaining. No masterpiece though.
P.S. - I absolutely hate Eli Roth. Casting him is like casting Andrew “Dice” Clay as Han Solo. I know Tarantino and P.T. Anderson love this guy for I’m not quite sure, Cabin Fever and Hostel I guess? But I can not stand him. I will say the guy is good at directing shorts (Thanksgiving fake trailer and Nation’s Pride).
