Kiru Biru o mimashita.
Saw Kill Bill Vol 1 tonight and despite what some have said, it didn't seem to be weird or wacky, just a run of the mill Tarantino film (having seen all but Reservoir Dogs, couldn't complain much about this one heeh). Although we got the 'censored' Americanised version which had the black&white scenes instead of in colour (as Japan would have) as it would be deemed to be too gory if we saw the colour red in blood .. as a mental imagery kinda thingymajig... but having watching the Crazy 88 yakuza scene go on for so long, the black and white was a bit overwhelming. I prefer blood and guts thanks. Although all that spurting of blood sorta became over the top after a while heeh.

Quentin, being Tarantino, pays homage to a lotta era of films he was influenced by.. it was good to see Sonny Chiba speak berry good Engrish, having only ever seen him speak Japanese in all the other Asian flicks he's in that I've watched heh. After watching the movie, did I realise woah there was actually quite a lot of Japanese spoken through the whole movie.. and I was focusing on the subtitles and trying to match the Japanese words with the English and some of it came back to me (yay :)

Now need to wait for a few months for Vol 2 to come out. gah!

Matrix Revolutions is currently screening worldwide. w00t. Can't wait, might watch it today too hmmmm.
