* Gilbot V7000a doesn't find Uma attractive either.

And no, I didn't watch KB.

Blackthorne · Tue 20/04/2004 04:23:43

You are all gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

We live in a crazy, variety-ridden world.

People CAN think Uma isn't attractive.

I just think you're batting at a different plate than some of us.

LGM · Tue 20/04/2004 04:25:03

wow.. am I the only one that things she's overwhelmingly beautiful?

Blackthorne · Tue 20/04/2004 05:28:39

No, LGM. I agree. She's a goddess, much like her namesake.

I loved Kill Bill, Vol. 1. So much that I would go to the theatre by myself just to see the second one, just so I can see what's going to happen next. I also put my name down at work to buy a copy when a previously-viewed copy gets pulled from the shelves. Good timing, too... Kill Bill, Vol. 1 just came out on video here in Wisconsin, and Kill Bill, Vol. 2 just came out in theater's here about a week ago.

How many volumes are there supposed to be, exactly... that's what I wonder. Anyone know?

Uma Thurman may have a crack-baby look to her... but I still think she's hot. How can you NOT think that a chick that can wield a katana like that isn't hot? Aside from Kill Bill, she was looking pretty damn good in that black cat suit in the Avengers.

It's just Volume 1 and 2. It was going to be one movie, but it was too long for Miramax and Tarantino didn't want to edit it down to a standard feature length so he did it in two parts.

2.

QT did say in several interviews that he would like to create Volume 3 in something like 15 years, where the daughter Vernita Green is the main character.

I may very well find some other chick who can weild a katakana sexy (if she was sexy BEFOREHAND - I can't say that lunch lady Dorris would do it for me no matter how much of a skilled killer she was), but not an actress being made to LOOk like she can weild one ^_-

I also hate her name. Sorry to anyone named Uma but... my god, it's just awful! @_@

LGM · Tue 20/04/2004 14:03:36

You're too damn harsh, man.

AGA · Tue 20/04/2004 15:33:23

Woman.

I watched Kill Bill part one for the first time last night (rented it from Blockbuster), and I enjoyed it. It wasn't as awesome as I'd been led to expect, but it was fun enough. I've booked tickets to go see part two when it opens here on Friday, since seeing the first part and not seeing the second would annoy me.

I'm talkin' about a samurai sword here... who's talking about fighting ninja's with the japanese alphabet?

Here's something to muse over:

Kill Bill was split into two parts, right. Now I read on IMDB today that the sequel just pulled in several million dollars ALL PROFIT because the first film already recovered the films costs.

Now, consider that Disney (of which Mirimax is an off-shoot) has been in DEEP FINANCIAL SHIT for a while.

Something tells me that the decision to cut Kill Bill wasn't as much Harvey's decision, but a request from Disney.

Just a thought.

In any case, Disney's still screwed.

LGM · Wed 21/04/2004 14:01:00

I always found it funny that Miramax, a company owned by Disney (Or so I read) published Kill Bill, the complete opposite of what Disney stands for.. But I guess they've done that before. Miramax always seems to do the risque films.

DGMacphee · Wed 21/04/2004 14:26:15

That's why they deal with Miramax -- there's a lot of money in non-kiddie films too.

It's a shame, cause I remember the days when Miramax did mainly indie films.

Argh.. OK, you caught me on an "off" day there. So, my brain was spaced when I wrote that

Damnit! Just to help my repuation a bit, I HAVE done 4 years of Japanese at university! Trust me!!!

I also saw Kill Bill 1 today for the first time. I was very impressed - it's shiny stuff. I had a lot of problems with things I had heard about it but watching it, none of them were so bad! It just goes to show that you shouldn't judge something until you've seen it, or at least been told about it by someone that's actually reliable.

Was I the only one that desperately wanted Lucy Lui to win that fight? Uma Thurman's a decent actress, I'll say that, but I watched that movie with as big an open mind as I could manage and I just couldn't find her attractive. That black chick at the start though? Wow ^_^ All I can say is "What a waste!"

I always found it funny that Miramax, a company that has ruined most of the kung-fu films it has released on DVD and effectively prevented other companies from releasing decent versions or even selling imported versions of those movies and the other movies Miramax owns the US publishing rights to but haven't even released yet, published Kill Bill which is basically a homeage to just those movies.

Kinoko · Wed 21/04/2004 16:00:33

I just found out that Vernita's actress is called Vivica A. Fox... "How appropriate!"

And somewhat related to it - Quentin Tarantino convinced Miramax to release the uncut version of Hero.
