"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.

I enjoyed it immensely, probably because I consider plot in my action movies to be nice but not strictly necessary. Reasonably clear motivation will suffice. And I just like to see women fighting well.

I did have to keep mentally repeating, "It's a genre piece. You cannot ask why they have no guns. Bad brain! NOT John Woo!"

I expected to be annoyed by having it leave off in the middle, but I thought that was done well, considering. I wasn't annoyed at all.
