Kill Bill Vol.1

I admit it, I am horribly late. Not only with the blogging today (because I watched the movie yesterday), but obviously with watching the movie.

It was a difficult task to watch this movie actually… 5 days before my 18th birthday, I invited a friend of mine to my place and we went to the video store. The only movie we were both interested in was Kill Bill – but I was not allowed to rent it! Aaaaah! We ended up watching some weird bad horror movie… which was so bad that he was jokingly guessing the dialogue – and guessed 100% right. I was totally impressed.
This time, I was at a meeting with my parents’ friends and their children. After playing cards and Scotland Yard for awhile, we decided to watch a movie… but couldn’t decide on which one. Kill Bill was the only movie of all of them that I actually wanted to watch (the rest was just some pretty unknown stuff and King Arthur) but they both already saw the movie. After a few subtle emotional blackmailing, I got what I wanted in the end *hohoho*

The movie itself… obviously was gorgeous. So far, everybody I know likes this movie and I apparently am no exception. Of course there isn’t much of a plot and sometimes the blood fountains are a bit too unrealistic, but all in all, I had a good time watching it :]
My favourite scene was the little girl in the seifuku (my God, they really couldn’t leave out any japanese fetishes, eh?), and the bad points in the anime were a. the excessive use of japanese, b. the fact that after Gogo, the high school girl, there was a (way too long) black and white massacre which wasn’t really enjoyable to watch and c. the fight with O-Ren Ishii herself was simply boring – she just stood there for ages doing nothing, bleh.

Uma Thurman is so thin! Damn, that’s scary… by the way, I have read some article about models being “disqualified” from some spanish show because they were too thin *hrr* They had some BMI index > 18 rule. In this case, I am only allowed to lose 4 kilograms O.o XD

O-Ren Ishii’s animated background story was absolutely great, obviously. In fact, I think that the animation looked more comic-like (and americanized) than an anime… at least I think it’s more similar to Superman than, say, Kamichu. My very first impression of that scene was “Oh, this looks like a Linkin Park video”. *hehe*

PS. I had an interesting dream today. In fact, I woke up 3 times. The first time, I “woke up” from my dream no.1 which consisted or something I have forgotten now – the second time, I was consulting some map with my boyfriend. Then, I “woke up” again, and found myself making out with my boyfriend in the subway. I even talked to him and told him stuff like “Hey, you know what? I dreamt that I woke up from a dream and thought it was reality, but in fact I was still in another dream! Funny, eh?” And then, I finally woke up for real, and realized that he wasn’t there *snif*
