Yes I've been looking forward to this, but with a little trepidation. For one thing, splitting the film in two seems like a bit of a ploy, esp when the first half clocks at "just over an hour and a half long". And the trailer makes it look like layered pastiche, which seems a little done after the latest Charlie's Angels installment. But reading that interview, I'm hopeful - Tarantino works best riffing in this space between aging genres and our all-referring pop consciousness. His little nods to other films aren't cute, in jokes, and they aren't solemn invocations either. He's just starting his work from the genres he knows best.
I really like the idea of an ass kicking Uma. I was disappointed at how they wasted her (and everyone else) in the Avengers movie.
Now if she would just stop calling me all the time. Uma, really - it's embarassing.
I'm really excited about it. Tarantino's stylistic choices in his movies have always worked for me so far. Same weekend as the new Coen brothers, too--I can't wait!
Hey, bigoldgeek, you have my permission to point Uma in my direction if it's getting too embarassing for you :)
