Tarantino didn't do NBK, it was Oliver Stone. Since one of NBK's themes was the parodying of movies like Kill Bill (glorification of violence) it makes sense that you'd like one and not the other. You probably won't like Dr Strangelove for somewhat different reasons.

I think John Carpenter did an homage to Slim riding the nuke in his first(?) movie - Dark Star, anybody else remember an astronaut riding a missile, or something equally deadly, in there?
