-- Approximate quotes from a movie Ant and I dropped into last night. A little thing called "Kill Bill Vol. 1." Sure to be the #1 movie based on the fact alone that most of the shows were sold out and we caught the last 2 seats together in our theater. Ant proposed the plan Thursday as we discussed how the commercials had gotten into our brains. Truth be told, I'm not even that crazy about Tarantino -- I hated Pulp Fiction when I saw that in the movies, but the last viewing was amusing -- yet I've also realized I've seen all his stuff including Four Rooms. I'm a quirky kid, so I tend to like quirky movies I guess. Anyhoo, Kill Bill could've been one movie. It went way too quickly and the TV moviesque cliffhanger was type annoying. All the violence (though violence in a Tarantino movie? Who would've thunk?!) was off-putting, bouncing between cartoonish (spurting veins) and disturbing (the thing with the little girl and whatever she did to the would-be rapist). I'd see it again though.
This afternoon, I braved Kazaa on my 56K. I thought I was gonna rip my hair out because it took so freaking long. But, guess who's replaying "Milkshake;" Apollonia Six, "Sex Shooter;" Nancy Sinatra, "Bang Bang;" Tosca, "Fuck Dub (Fila Brazilia Mix) and the "Sweet Georgia Brown" remix of "Thoia Thiong?" This kid right here. So worth it.
