"kill bill"

[rmd]

i saw "kill bill". it's a good homage to all the old ultraviolent japanese and HK movies, but i don't think it's worthy of some of the hype i've been hearing. i assume the film flips into black and white and animated in places to avoid an nc17 rating.

but several times in the movie i just kept thinking "man, i don't think quentin likes women."

the action scenes were ... everything i expected plus a bag of chips.

that was about my response, too. or, as I said to the person I saw it with, "That was pretty substance free." I've loved his previous stuff, but this just left me 'well, glad someone else paid for me to see that, and it wasn't *my* money...' It'll be interesting enough on video, with both parts, but I really don't think it's worth bothering with in a theatre.

(the male I went to the movie, on the other hand, was thrilled with it. I was just kinda....bored by it.)
