| AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG ok I'm done. Where shall I begin... Hey, it wasn't a linear storyline! It was essentially the Pulp plot juggle that made Tarantino such a huge Hollywood name, which kinda surprised me, considering that I thought Tarantino was going to abandon that whole concept. But wow... this is the Pulp Fiction 2 we've all been waiting for. :) I saw it at 11:30 AM (first showing in SCV... there was no midnight showing, and had I realized that earlier I would have started a petition or gone on strike or done something that involved flipping out and killing people for not being able to watch this movie for another half of a day but oh well... *sigh*) Anyways, I saw it with Tim and only with Tim although the originally intended number of people going was five. But I'ma watch it again anyways so no biggie... I'm not jumping for joy and being super ultra giddy like I always am after watching a tiiiiiiiiite-ass movie, and don't get me wrong, the movie was phenomenal, but... just like after I had first watched Pulp Fiction, I was more horrified and disturbed than I was awestruck. Just like Pulp did only to a far greater extent, KB:V1 had some seriously sick and twisted shit. O-Ren's childhood scenes, Vernita's little daughter, and I can't forget the hospital scene... ugh. Just wrong. But that's just how his movies are, and I love 'em how they are. Aside from that, it had some pretty funny parts, and awesome fight sequences. I'm still shell-shocked by the sheer amount of blood in the House of Blue Leaves sequence. All in all, great homage to the kung-fu genre and it was quite the experience. But Volume 1 itself lacked cohesion. Pulp's plot was out of order for a purpose. Volume 1 was out of order for seemingly no reason. But perhaps Volume 2 will provide a reason; there are a plethora of unanswered mysteries too. Goddammit, Feb. 20th is like... forever... from now... ARGH. Ok that's enough out of me. I'm done being a movie critic. In any case, it was nice to see the Revolutions trailer on the big screen. :) |
