Watched Kill Bill on Sunday before the Oscars. The only problem: I really wanted Bill and Beatrix to end up together. I did not want Beatrix to kill Bill. I think this means I didn't get something.
I should note that I generally do not go for unhealthy relationships. I don't ship Clarice and Hannibal Lecter. I actually tend to support very healthy (if flawed) on-screen relationships. But god, they're just so equally fucked up. What the hell is killing one of them going to do? This is why I hate revenge. But then again, I didn't really go for the whole "I'm a mother, and all I care about is my child" transition either. Of course, I wouldn't know, but I don't think it's as simplistic as Tarantino makes it out to be. It's not like she's even cognizant of giving birth to this child that she changes so completely for.
Sigh. Well, I've been enjoying the soundtrack to Lost Highway, at least. It's so kooky and Western-ish. We all know how I love the Neo-West. It's what I like about Kill Bill too (the Asia parts = meh). I've also been listening to the Across the Universe soundtrack. It's made me realize that I like the Beatles' music - just not when they're the ones making it. I like their lyrics and their basic melodies. But I don't like their "style," I guess? Then again, I've always liked Oasis' version of "I Am The Walrus" much, much more than the original.
Jesus Christ, they're having an all-military Wheel of Fortune and one of them guessed "African Samoa".
African Samoa.
African Samoa.
What's the world coming to? We don't even know our own colonies anymore!
