Strip down Brad and put him on my bed waiting for me. God he is sexy as hell in this film. Anyway, Edward Norton is brilliant, as is Meatloaf, as are the twists. Amazing! Why smash up Jared Leto's face though? Sexy bugger!

Uma kicking ass. Love it. Tarentino is genius for making the Kill Bill films and moving time around in them perfectly. The second one is slower, but I'd still give that a 4.
