If it was up to me, I'd ban it

Rating: 1/10 (31 August 2009)

I have never been a fan of the poster child of graphic violence. The only Tarantino film I ever reached the end of was 'Four Rooms', and he only did a quarter of that.
Quentin, if you're reading this, your films - including this one - disgust me.
How can you possibly imagine that it is entertaining to watch someone, in graphic detail, being scalped? Or to watch someone poke their finger into an open wound to deliberately inflict pain? How is this entertainment?
I see you say (quoted here on IMDb) : "What if a kid goes to school after seeing Kill Bill and starts slicing up other kids? You know, I'll take that chance! Violent films don't turn children into violent people. They may turn them into violent filmmakers but that's another matter altogether."
Are you really so naive to believe that your films don't influence kids? Or unstable adults? I can only suppose you grew up in a perfect middle-class world where kids do their homework when they're told to, and respect their parents. Where I live, it's not like that. Kids are bored, undisciplined and violent. And that's before they get high on cheap drugs and alcohol and decide to skin the neighbours cat - like they saw in your film. I agree, violent films don't turn non-violent people into violent people, but they DO give violent people new ideas.
When are you going to grow up and realise that we're not all 10 years old any more? Actions have consequences. You are in a position to show kids that there are alternatives to violence. Or do you prefer that they go around sticking hypodermic needles into each other?
