Just went to see Kill Bill -- Volume One.

[apocalypsos]

Yes, it had its problems -- the dialogue wasn't as quotable, the plot wasn't really all that important, there wasn't more of it. And quite frankly, the cliffhanger ending didn't come as much of a shock (well, to me, at least -- it's exactly how I would have ended it).

But dude. All I could think was how stupid Ethan Hawke was to cheat on Uma fucking Thurman. He's going to wake up one morning with the severed head of an underwear model in his head. Bam! Uma! Superbitch!

Oh, yeah, the style's a big thing. The anime bits? Awesome. Sonny Chiba? I worship at his sword-decorated altar. Crazy killer Japanese schoolgirl? *sniffle* I want a Gogo Yubari movie right now, I tell you.

Hee. Times like this, I really love Quentin Tarantino ... you know, in a I-want-to-bear-your-supercool-genius-children-but-please-God-don't-touch-me-you-spastic-babbling-monkey-boy kind of way.

I was going to go see "Underworld", but I've been contemplating editing the book I wrote while I was at work today, so I had my original character in my head all day long. I think she's the one who picked Kill Bill, 'cause every time I wondered whether or not I should go see the creepy vampire movie, she started cackling hysterically and wouldn't stop for an hour. (Yes, even when I taunted her with mental images of Scott Speedman soaking wet. She decided that if the man's going to have that stupid-ass long hair, he might as well be marinated in oil and hyperventilate sexily on command, then demanded that we go watch people's limbs get cut off. Ash is weird like that. Ash is also homicidal like that, but I digress.)

I did see the poster for "Underworld" again, though, and the more I see it, the more I realize that Kate Beckinsale's been in movies with Jon Cusack, Ben Affleck, Scott Speedman, Rufus Sewell, Hugh Jackman, Denzel Washington, and Stuart Townsend and should therefore be fed alive to starving otters.

*sneaks in and kidnaps Kate, protecting her*

I enjoyed Underworld, but the pacing was a bit off, and could do with some improvements here and there. Nice vampire mafia movie, though. ;)

I understand that "Kill Bill" is Quentin's 4th movie. What are the other three, I wonder. Because I am sort of curious about this one just by watching promos.

Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs

and.....?????

Hope that helped.

I checked IMDB on this one. For directing, they have nine items listed (though two of them, "Kill Bill Vol. 2" and "Inglorious Bastards" are far from done). They've also listed the segment he did for "Four Rooms", which was my initial guess, and an episode of "ER". That leaves "My Best Friend's Birthday" (a very amateurish 1987 B&W comedy/drama), Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill Vol. 1.
