you can see specific flashes of what Tarantino does so well in Django during Kill Bill Vol 1. i'm thinking of when Vivica and Uma are having their living room knife fight and, after some glass is broken, he cuts down for a moment to Vivica's foot sliding along the shards on the floor. there's another moment like that at the beginning of the climactic Lucy Liu tea garden samurai chic boss fight scene later.
Django recalled both those scenes for me, only better done.
i take that, perhaps foolishly, as a sign of optimism.
