I agree with you in terms of films like The Godfather and The Godfather, Part II, but those are indeed different movies.wehitandrun wrote:I really hate using "trilogies" and "volume 1s and 2s" as ONE slot. It doesn't work that way. Different release dates - different films.
Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 were only released seperately so they could cash in. They are two halves of one film.

i'd argue LoTR could count as all one movie, 'cause it was shot all at the same time. unlike American Pie, or Star Wars.
here's my top of my head, i read everyone else's first, list:
IN NO ORDER:
Blue Velvet
LoTR (all of them? any of them? whatever)
Roman Holiday
Heathers
Pulp Fiction

Dude, Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2 were filmed as a single movie and written as a single movie, originally intended to be released as a whole, but marketing reasons prevented Tarantino from having it happen that way.wehitandrun wrote:Well, Kill Bill Volume 1 and Volume 2 are also completely different. One is a full on action film, the other is actually story driven.
They may be different parts of the same story, but they're different films. Same with Star Wars, Lord Of The Rings, and American Pie.

I am aware of this.
But, just because it started a certain way, doesnt mean that it didn't happen as it did.
Goodbye Cruel World started as a live/folk rock album, but it didn't end up that way, did it? (figured I'd use an elvis reference, given our battlegrounds).
Fact is, Marketing reasons prevented the film from being ONE film, and it is two films.
It isnt exactly quantum physics, Blue. One was released in October, the other in April.
Can we wait until this is released on DVD as the single film it was meant to be (Tarrantino has stated his intention to do so)?wehitandrun wrote:

Well, first, we'll just buy the two seperate dvds that're coming out first.
Kind of like what we'll have to do with Star Wars, being they're seperate films and all- they come out alone first.
Star Wars Episodes 1 through 3 are seperate films in a series.
Kill Bill Vol. I and II are one movie that was cut in half due to length and marketing reasons. It's being released as seperate DVD's for the same reason, and so that people who missed seeing Vol. I in theatres, can rent Vol. I and then see Vol. II in theatres.

Lord Of The Rings was written as three seperate books as part of a trilogy.
Even in early promotional materials and interviews, Kill Bill was just referred to as Kill Bill. There was no issue of Vol. I or Vol. II. The original tagline was even "In 2003, The Bride will Kill Bill." Obviously had they known it would end up as two movies they would have saved that tagline for the 2nd film. It was only in post-production that they decided to split it into two seperate releases.
So stop being a know it all, and deal with it

Personally, for the purposes of lists, I think it's really up to list maker.
I, for example, choose the consider the entire James Bond series one movie. Started out okay, got really good, got less good, got way less good, got okay, got less okay, got better, got worse, etc.

Repeated talk about the 'early' everything is what gets me. I admit, it started out as one film... but it changed.
One Story, Two Films.
