My point is that it’s surprising to hear Uma talk about a dream role that was written for her without mentioning Kill Bill, which in my opinion, is the ideal role envisioned, written and tailored for her by a swooning QT and the one that she’ll most likely be most remembered for.

It's a wonderful throwback film, but c'mon, we all know Quentin should have gotten the Oscar for Pulp Fiction. Kill Bill doesn't compare. Uma Thurman was great but Kill Bill is hardly Oscar-worthy.

Kill Bill Vol 2 in 2004, 2005 academy awards would have been up against Hillary Swank in Million Dollar Baby, another performance greatly outshadowing her. So its not that she did poorly in them because I feel she was really outstanding, but just paled in comparison to some of the best Female performances in the 21st century in Charleze Theron's - Monster and Hillary Swank - Million Dollar Baby. 100% agree on the fact that Uma is a well established and talented actress that should be landing roles as mentioned above instead of My Super Ex-Girlfriend or anything equally as embarassing and detrimental to the caliber of performing she is capable of.

I get your “past tense” argument but to me (and MTV) it still sounds as if she feels the same way today.

"best part that had been offered" in other words up to that point in her career it was the best thing offered to her i know the quotes are new. im saying she meant that she felt that way at the time. she is speaking in the past tense. “best part that had been offered” in other words up to that point in her career it was the best thing offered to her

I'm not sure I can name another actress who's had a more epic/successful/interesting role designed for her. If you can, go for it. @ JMoney These quotes aren't from way back, they're new. MTV raises a similar point with her QT collabs as well. @ Freddie I'd like to see another actress pull off that performance(s), and I don't simply mean the action/showdown at the House of Blue Leaves. @ Captain Awesome

Like JMoney said, maybe she meant at the time of her career. Tarantino waited and took his time for her and let her go through a pregnancy and a variety of other things in her life until she was ready to do KB. It wasn't something she "had" to do at the time. It's been known plenty of times that she just had to tell Quentin when she was ready and then they would begin the project. Caught you off-guard how?
