Well, we went to the Alamo Village and saw Kill Bill. I don't know what to say, except that everything people are saying is basically true. It is terrifically violent, and really gruesome in its detail. I had to look away a number of times.
There are some seriously wicked fight scenes, even with a bit of fantasy choreography, which I loved. Unfortunately, I don't know all the film references he was playing to, so I can't talk about that.
Given the rather thin story and the graphic (in several senses of the word) way it was delivered, I don't know—there was something kind of cartoony about it all. I found I couldn't be upset about it afterward. It had none of the gutwrenching chill that some of Tarantino's other violent visions have.
Watching it was sort of like a whallop over the head with no bump or bruise afterwards.
