Kill Bill Vol. 1+2
There clearly were two things occupying most of my attention last week: apples announcement of new powerbooks and ibooks which triggered my ibook purchase, and lots of kill bill.
Actually i hadn’t spent much thought on kill bill vol.2 right until a friend surprised me with an invite for a kill bill double feature last wednesday as a late birthday gift. The prospect of a double feature, thus getting a chance to see vol.1 once again on the silver screen, but this time without a cliffhanger, was great.
I won’t write a review of the film here (i’m not much of a critic, but rather a “me likes/not”-person) but i can tell you that i absolutely loved it. And don’t ask “which one’s better, vol.1 or 2?”, this’s supposed to be one movie after all.
Then on saturday i picked up the kill bill vol.1 dvd. Now let me confess something: i had a bootlegged copy of vol.1 for more than six months, aquired via the usual means. After seeing the movie on the big screen i instantly fell in love with it and simply couldn’t stand the prospect of not getting a copy of it immediatly. Nonetheless i’ve watched the movie 3 times in the cinema, i’ve seen vol.2 once and will certainly watch it one or two more times, i already picked up vol.1 on dvd, will do the same with the vol.2 dvd and if there’ll be some kind of special edition coming out (and i’m certain there will be), i’ll pick that one up as well.
Give me something to love and i’ll throw my cash at you, even for all those rip-off dvd special editions, but don’t fucking waste my time with your average hollywood crap and wonder that nobody bothers to pay for it.
P.s. i recommend this flash game to get into the right mood for kill bill.
