....after watching Kill Bill on the BBC last night It needed another posting. At least Tarantino has always been open to the fact that he is influenced by other flicks.

Does annoy me this guy has basically coined that phrase and passed it off as his own thinking.
I think in academia they call in structuralism, no? Joseph Campbell, Propp, Levis Straus, Barthes... it's basic undergrad literary theory.

But the metaphor ain't new.
Daniel Coffeen, who taught rhetoric at UC Berkeley, often talks about everything being a remix. And as Beck sang, we all have two turntables and a microphone. His old lectures are available as podcasts.
And, things like Star Wars and Kill Bill are easy examples because they were intentionally copying.
