jhameiaQuote from Patrick Stewart in 2004, for an international campaign against violance against women:
"The entertainment industry has been extremely irresponsible in perpetuating and stereotyping the violent attitudes of men to women," said Stewart, best known for his portrayal of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek.
"I condemn utterly films like Kill Bill. We are told it is about empowering women. All it does is empower a woman to kill other women."
Rosario Dawson on her discomfort at her Grindhouse character's complicity in a rape:
Dawson says, "I talked to Quentin about it several times, because I had a huge problem with leaving her there: 'I don't leave that girl behind, I love that girl, we're friends.' "Quentin says, 'No,' (and) I say, 'Can I throw her the keys to the car?' and he says, 'No, you can't, that's not how it's going to work.' I was like, 'Damn!'" Co-star ROSE McGOWAN also tasted Tarantino's controlling nature: "I couldn't change the word 'the'."
I like stylized violence, which is why I own the Hellsing TV series and Trigun, but I remember seeing bits of Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill and not being able to enjoy the senseless violence due to the other stuff I saw, just couldn't put my finger on why. So nice to know I'm not the only one ick-ed out.
