intertribalWatched 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!

Date: 2009-02-25 02:16 pm (UTC)well, if you look at it from that angle, no one in the movie has anything to redeem themselves. Like Budd said, "That woman deserves her revenge. And we deserve to die. But so does she."

Date: 2009-02-25 02:33 pm (UTC)i thought maybe i was having a PMS migraine, cause nothing seemed to get rid of my headache...until i drank a Rockstar. i swear to god those things are addictive. i have like taurine withdrawal or some shit.

Re: why kill bill?
Date: 2009-02-25 02:46 pm (UTC)haha, it's not so bad (pretty much the same as red bull, but tastes more like licorice or something). i'm just paranoid. i wouldn't recommend it as part of a balanced diet, though. there is too much shit in it.

Re: why kill bill?
Date: 2009-02-25 08:30 pm (UTC)how sad that the bb player felt the need to drink that much red bull to perform well, though.
Re: why kill bill?
Date: 2009-02-25 10:52 pm (UTC)he must've been really tired. and idiotic, because that's like drinking 8 shots of espresso, downing 8000mg of taurine and an assortment of vitamins and then expecting your body to be able to handle extreme physical exertion without obscene amounts of water...
well, all my sleeplessness was for naught, as steve didn't bother to show up for my meeting, asshole.
