I just watched Kill Bill

I get DVDs to watch while I'm folding laundry and doing other such chores, and I just watched Kill Bill, both parts.

I feel rather ambivalent about it. On the one hand, I'm thinking, "Wow. That was totally self-indulgent regurgitated tripe -- why do people let Quenton Tarrantino even MAKE movies if all he's basically going to do is make film-school-student masturbatory material?" and the other half of me is going, "WOW! THAT WAS COOOOOOL!!!!"

I enjoyed "Kung Fu Hustle" more than I enjoyed "Kill Bill", although I did enjoy them both. And I'm in the somewhat odd position of having watched them two days apart.

One of my problems with "Kill Bill" is that it postulates that women are 1) sex objects 2) mothers 3) killers, and nothing else. It shows two women who are both 2 and 3, but with an implication that, once you choose #2, you can't be anything else.
