Without getting into too much detail, 3-chip DLPs have a DMD chip for each of the primary colors (red/green/blue). A 1-chip DLP has one DMD and a color wheel with colored segments. The wheel spins very fast in front of the chip and fools the eye into thinking it's seeing a full-color image, when in fact it's seeing a series of red/green/blue images at a very high frequency. 1-chip DLPs are cheaper to produce, but there are image quality compromises due to the single chip design.

That would explain why a DLP image (on a home projector, at least the ones I've seen) appears to go monochromatic (either red, green or blue) whenever I blink.

Actually, Adams only wrote part of the script. He died part of the way through the process and they brought in someone else to finish it.

The other person brought in was Karey Kirkpatrick, who was previously responsible for Chicken Run, and who I thought handled the rest of the script very well.

If you're referring to Tarantino's tendency for dialogue-heavy scenes, then I'd agree, but the action is another story; of course the action of KFH is very similar to Kill Bill Vol. I, which in turn was inspired by the Shaw Bros. movies out of Hong Kong. If someone only has the limited frame of reference that comes from not having seen much in the way of Hong Kong action flicks, it's easy to describe the action in this film as "Tarantino-esque".
