(no subject)
Kill Bill Volume 2 was on TV yesterday, and because nothing else was, I watched some of it. Today I looked something up, and I saw that it had an R rating. Whoa. If I write about two guys fucking each other in detail and with love, I have to give it an NC-17 rating, but this is an R?! I remember seeing scenes of Volume 1 when I was in a hostel in Ireland and someone had put the DVD in, and I found some so brutal that I had to turn away. And apparently, Tarantino wants to release an NC-17 DVD version soon. What can possibly make this movie go up one rating point if it isn't already?! Hm, maybe a flashing of nipples...
Still about movies: What amuses me is not only that Hollywood sometimes takes an existing film (like Bella Martha) and do a remake (No Reservations), apparently down to camera angles and 1:1 translated dialogue, because redoing a movie with Hollywood stars will probably sell better. In itself I find that pretty funny. But what amuses me most is that I am assumed to find that great, too, and am supposed to run to the nearest cinema, because it's shown it in Germany, too. I liked the original quite fine, thanks, I don't need to see Catherine Zeta-Jones do the exact same thing.
