Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair

[reACTIONary]

I just saw Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, and, unexpectedly, actually enjoyed the four and a half hours! My spouse likes Tarantino and enjoyed the Kill Bills when first released, but I never really cared for his sensibility, and never saw them. But I went along.

What made it entertaining is that it doesn't take itself seriously and actually has a lot of laughs. The crude "special effects" (blood, gore) are over the top and rival those of Dr, Who. The characters are cartoonish beyond stereotypes - especially the Kung Fu master.

The only disappointment was the ending, which was maudlin, something like really weird Hallmark schlock. Oh well.

1. I think...

I may have seen both movies at least twice. Even my mom liked them, much to my surprise. She also liked Pulp Fiction.

2. My spouse (and son) both saw Pulp Fiction....

..... and liked it. I never saw it. A long time ago I saw a Tarantino documentary about surfer gangs. (Surfers were more like gangs than the kids in beach blanket bingo movies.) I thought it was a bit pretentious, over intellectualizing a relatively uninteresting cultural subgroup.

I'm happy to have seen Kill Bill though.

3. Quentin Tarantino has never made a bad movie.
