I would have loved for IB to have a film companion; I suppose it's something Tarantino just doesn't do (he didn't even storyboard the fight scenes in Kill Bill).

I haven't been so enamored with a film and its characters (Shosanna and Fredrick in particular) in a long time, other than Watchmen (which almost doesn't count since the novel has been around for over 20 years now). Tarantino's love for his work really shows in every detail of his films and seeing his excitement over film gets me excited.

I'm finishing up an S/F fic currently and have another multi-chapter fic centering on Fredrick planned, and while I certainly intend to get them up before December 15, having the film on hand will help keep me on my toes.
