I just watched Kill Bill

[xiphias]

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 quite liked it. I went in expecting flashiness and hot chicks fighting, and in that he did not disappoint. But I also felt it had depth, with the flashbacks and the thing she was searching for. I like stories that reveal things bit by bit, and that expect you to keep up (see e.g. Memento). I felt Tarantino did a great job with that, while indulging himself with the things he (and a lot of Americans) likes-- trashy, bright-colored things blowing up real good.
