Although this movie has just came out to DVD, I finally took the time to go see it the dollar movies. Why did I wait sooo long? This movie FREAKIN' GREAT (imho). Yes, it is the standard "revenage-i'm gonna kill you all for screwing me over" movie, but I've always had a soft spot for movies with large amounts(wasn't as much as some (Braveheart had massive amounts)) of carnage , kung fu kick assing, sword wielding pissed off women, hacked off limbs, blood gushing, Japense speaking, subtitled and darkly humorous movies(i'm not sure how many others throught it was funny, but I was dying(no pun) laughing several times. Just throught I'd share this before I ran off to the store to buy stuff to make cookies.

hmmmm.....cookies.... I haven't seen this film yet but I always hear great things about it, some saying its the best tarantino since Pulp Fiction. Think I'll have to go and buy the DVD but at the moment I want to see "once upon a time in mexico"

Kill Bill was a movie I found I had to watch twice. The first time, I kept thinking 'Ya know...I dunno if I like this movie'. It was an eyecandy feast of more gratuitous violence than any one movie should have. Now add an off the wall plot and a suprising ammount of surreal situation comedy. This was supposed to be entertaining? I guess? Then, like a train wreck. I had to turn my car around and go back to see it again. I mean really....how many people can make a person run around screaming with a major body part hacked off, spraying arterial blood like a technicolor lawn sprinkler and make it look ARTISTIC? Fangora becomes Art Neveau. This movie is a symphony of violence. And yes, I laughed my ass off. Holy shit, I shifted my brain a little to the left and a little to the right simultaniously to get inside Tarantino's head in a bipolar split (sort of like finding the humor to Monty Python for the first time) and wow. This flick was great! I give it 3 double oh sevens.

Choclate chip peanut butter chip cookies!! I have "once upon a time in mexico" sitting on top of the tv still it's it's wrapper...it's been up there for about a month or 2 now...i'll get around to watching it after I go throught the other 12 DVD's in the Gatchaman collection I have left to watch. At this rate it may be some time, unless I'm confined to bedrest and have nothing else to do.

for a moment thought you were talking about this site! Havent seen "once upon a time in Mexico" either but Cep...I would simply go grab "Kill Bill"!!! if I were you!!!! Forget everything Man!!..Get stuck in Kill Bill PRONTO Compadre!!! Im with Tampitt and Buffy on this one.. IT FREAKING ROCKED~!!!!!! Yeah Baby YEAH!!!! I had to blink twice before it hit me what I loved about this movie and gave me such a thrill... Damn Plot could have been written by anyone in here!! It was like I was watching an IF come to life..I kid you not! I almost choked on the opening phrase of the movie "Revenge is a dish best served cold" ..and grinned like an idiot with a flashback to Buffy and Lyon whove used the very same quote at one time or another.. The movie HOOKS you from the opening scene..Its shocking , in your face and keeps you riveted till the unexpected blast after "The bride" utters "Bill its your baby" not five seconds into the movie.. I damn well jumped to the ceiling and screamed it was that unexpected! The blood and gore had me hidng a few times behind my fav cushion but in true Taratino style , just with the gasps come the unexpected laughs.. Watch when The Bride meets up with Vernita in her suburban home , loungerrom trashed beyond belief by the violence of the fight< and one damn hell of a kickass fight too!> only to be interrupted by little Nikki who arrives home from school. No Nope nada..I had no hesitations or doubts..I was damn Hooked and loved loved LOVED IT!!!!! The cinematography, the cut to black and white scnes < Griz was disppointed as he wanted the Crazy 88 slash fest to be in colour > the anime style recount of Oshi Ren's past..the way it flicked back and forths from the traumatic event of the slaying of the wedding party to The Brides Revenge on the five people responsible.. heck , sure its B grade, sure its violent , but if you appreciate Japanese movies, spaghetti westerns, Love Taratino films and use of brilliantly cut scenes flashbacks, fastforwards beuatiful beuatiful cinmetography and truly appreciate the nuances and Japanese elements of violence, sword play and kung fu fights, beauty, humour, angst and cold blooded revenge , mystery, thats usually found in animes < and in most of the fanfics and IF's I love reading from you guys> then Im telling you you WILL enjoy Kill Bill Vol 1 One scene I simply loved was the fight in the snow with Oshi Ren. The evocative beauty and grace of that one scne was truly breathtaking Dont think Ive eeped and gasped and practically jumped out of my skin so much in a while! Just goers to show you what a lack of offerings in kewl films there are out there at the moment.. Just be prepared for the fact that this movie was originally intended as one long movie with ten chapters..< Vol 1 ends with chapter four or five..Vol 2 is at the movies at the moment down under!> So Im warning you you might be screaming and groaning "NOOOOOOOO!!!!" when the movie ends on a climactic ending. Um..In all that rambling and gushing did I tell you I liked the film?

Certainly sounds like it, Imi. But maybe you should support it just a little bit more, just in case? Haven't seen it yet. I always get disturbed when I watch particularly violent movie. Is it because it grosses me out? Slightly...however...it's also because of my tendency to laugh. Yup. I laugh at violence. There is some sadistic part of me that finds people getting their eyes gouged out hilarious. Afterwards, I am so disturbed by my reaction that I walk around like a zombie for a while. I don't know why I laugh. O.o It shouldn't be funny. It isn't funny. I'm thinking "gross, bleah" at the same time I break out in laughter... Er...this is turning into Therapy Hour for Elvin...heh...
