Kill Bill Vol. 2
04.16.04 (12:03 pm)   [edit]
Last night, Shagman, his lovely girlfriend, Mr. Picky and I were one of the few in America to see the double feature of Kill Bill Vol. 1 shortly followed by Vol. 2. As the Alamo Drafthouse owner said, no one could understand Miramax's decision to only allow the double feature in 2 theaters throughout the US. After viewing Vol. 2, I understand why.

THERE IS NO COMPARISON.

Vol. 2 feels like a dragged out epilogue to Vol. 1. There's more dialogue, the kind that only Mr. Tarantino could write but as Mr. Picky said, "Who needs to see that shit? We need more butt-kicking and gratuitous shots of Uma's pert little ass."

Vol. 2 could be seen as a cool stylized revenge flick, heavy on character development and not at all a bad movie - on it's own. However, watching it immediately following Vol. 1, one cannot help but feel disappointed or even cheated. Yes, Vol. 1 was a bloodfest, but Vol. 2 although it had it's share of violence, just doesn't satisfy the bloodlust built up by the first film. You're expecting everyone to die and lie in a pool of their own blood with their limbs lying all over the place but alas, Tarantino takes the "been there done that" attitude and says "hold up, let's talk this out."

There are a few great moments. Pai Mei, played by the same man who plays the leader of the Crazy 88s, is every Kung Fu master cliche embodied in a single master and I guess that was the point. I loved him. I also liked Michael Madsen as Budd, Bill's brother and member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. Mr. Picky on the other hand, wasn't buying this warm and fuzzy version of Madsen, he's still trying to keep clean underwear after watching Madsen inReservoir Dogs. Sigh! The good old days. Elle Driver, played to perfection by Daryl Hannah, was awesome. Folks, she ain't no mermaid!! Her catfight with the Bride, Uma Thurman, will not be soon forgotten. MEOW!! HISSSSS!!

The biggest disappointment I have to say is, um...the man...you know...the whole point of the entire frickin' movie franchise...that prick...Bill.

Tarantino, you built me up
And then you let me down
But I'm still around
And I love you still.

Don't build me up like that again
And then let me down.
Quentin, don't break my heart!

I dunno.. The world should never have lain red carpet before Quentin Tarantino: there's nothing more annoying (on talk shows, etc) than a huge NERD who thinks he's hot shit and won't shut up with his wimp-droning on and on and on and on and on. And that irritating nerd laugh of his: ever roll your eyes @ someone who laughs twice too long? For being a nerd who found some fame and now thinks he's cool and therefore now a confident blowhard of nerdisms, I nominate Quentin Tarantino "King Nerd of the World." Blecch.

His movies are ok though, i guess. Of course, the Columbine nerds tried to become cool thru violence, too...

I loved Volume 1. I'm studying Kendo and it was interesting to see that they showed really how the katana strikes.
