The thrill of the kill
I finally saw “Kill Bill: Vol. I” the other night and was absolutely riveted. I was pissed that I was called out on a mission in the middle of her showdown with Lucy Liu, but caught the rest of it in an encore showing. Much as I love cartoons and comedic films (I don’t know why I ever watch scary- or depressing movies because they always leave me scared or depressed), I also much dig fight films. They have all the grace of a ballet, the grit of a football game, and the drama of a soap opera. You get your all in one there. And I love how this one just broke right into the fighting without a bunch of smarmy backup story. I found myself jumping up and down in my room going “Go, Uma, go, bitch! Kick the fuckin’ fucker!”
We are such a violent peoples, we are. And we don’ make no ‘pologies for it either, mkaaaay?
