Quinten Tarantino has been watching WAY too much Anime lately.

I got the chance to watch Kill Bill today, practically had the theater to myself. Thankfully, and unknowingly, a friend of mine had warned me about a certain part of the movie, that I definitely would not have wanted to see. I kind of guess from the situation that that was where the particular event would occur... so I averted my eyes until I heard the slashing sound and a cry of pain from a man's Achilles tendon being severed. I very much agree with the same friend on the movie. I think it was very well written, and the characters were developed very well, but it was like I was looking at a painting... something people say, "That looks nice" and "I love the (insert what you love here)." I haven't seen many of Tanatino's movies, but I've heard that he really likes to show movies out of order (in a sense), and I know that other movies that have been like that I have sometimes had a difficult time following the plot lines. But in Kill Bill, I often found myself going, "OOOoooHHhhhh..., I get it." I was a little sad that Lucy Liu's character died in this volume, I would've loved to see that Nurse chick get it in the stomach, and let Liu live on to the next movie.

It was a good escape for a couple hours. I can't wait for Volume Two!
