All I have to say is Kill Bill fucking delivered.
Do you even know how nice it was to be re-united with the smooth soundtrack selections Quentin always chooses, the funny dialogue that always seems like trivial information but more entertaining than you ever could have imagined...even that ridiculous yellow Times New Roman type that pops up at the bottom of the screen with captions like "The City of Hawthorne"? There's just that way he tells the story...I've really missed it.
Two doubts I had: Kung Fu. Sorry. I'm lame. I never got into Kung Fu movies...action movies...Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...that kind of shit. I'm NOT saying that shit isn't good. I'm just saying that shit has never particularly been my shit. That's all. Even though I'd never seen a kung-fu/martial arts movie before in my life, I didn't need to. It was entirely captivating and awesome.
Uma. Sorry. I was being skeptical. I'm NOT saying I don't love her. I do. But I thought to myself, "Is she really gonna be able to carry this movie???" She did. She does. She was awesome. I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to vol.2
I'm not quite sure why I decided to go off on this, but it's my journal and I can if I want to.
