Kill Bill
Kill Bill, Volume 1 is probably the bloodiest movie I’ve ever seen. There’s geysers of the stuff, spurting everywhere, as Uma Thurman’s “The Bride” nee “Black Mamba” cuts a swath of bloody vengeance across America and Japan. It’s something else. I’d say that the spurting looked pretty silly, but that’s a very relative statement given the absurd violence of the film. But if you’re into the ultra-violence, it’s a sharp and stylish action film – finally a Tarantino film I actually like. Uma kicks major ass and looks good doing it. My only real complaint is the splitting of the film into two parts. You greedy bastards – people are quite capable of sitting through a three hour action film, thank you very much.
My vacation is now pretty much over, and I think I’m getting sick (from standing outside the Skydome box office Wednesday for three hours in the bitter wind, I bet). I can’t take any days off for being sick though, because they will think I’m the biggest lazy scammer in the world. And they’d be half right.

But leave behind any limbs you have lost. They belong to me now.
