The Kill Bill Diary

davidcarra_cohen_7893606_400.jpgDavid Carradine kept a diary while he was working on Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill volumes 1 and 2.  Now he's publishing it as The Kill Bill Diary: The Making of a Tarantino Classic as Seen Through the Eyes of a Screen Legend which is available for preorder from Amazon and will be released November 1st.

David Carradine did a phenomenal job in the second Kill Bill, even as he delivered Tarantino's clunky, ill-conceived superman monologue (yeah, I said it).  Seeing him playing a villain reminded me of Henry Fonda's character in Once Upon a Time in the West, a role so counter-intuitive and yet so well-cast.  It's a shame Carradine didn't see more "heavy" roles after the Kill Bill series.
