Continuing my streak of catching up with Tarantino's films before Django comes out, I finally watched this last night. And even after years of hearing the most famous lines repeated, after reading virtually every discussion ever had...

The thing about the Lizard design is that he's usually depicted as more reptilian in the facial features, more monstrous in build. Now, in his first comic appearances, he WAS a bit more human-looking in his, so that might be what...

I have that book myself! It's great too, especially since you can totally hear Hepburn reading it in your mind.
