I finally got to watch Kill Bill the other day. Its a rather...odd.... movie. Must look up this Quentin Torotino dude. Very familiar sounding and yet cant quite remember. Anyways, whoever he is, must be one pretty twisted dude. The movie has absolutely no credibility though, and that brings it down to chick flick level, although I must say this is the first time Ive seen Lucy Liu look so pretty/cute. That was the only commendable feature.
And then I watched The Last Samurai again today. See now THAT movie has credibility. I mean, of course all those things could happen. Of course the director was being serious on portraying these honourable men's plight. Of course it wasnt some chick flick with some action/gore (supposed to cover it up as action flick?) just because it was starring the ever handsome tom cruise. Of course not. Thats because it had credibiity.
The long and short of it is this.
Movie maker, directors,shooters, filmers whatever. We'Re NoT DumB!! We can tell when the movie line is crappy, we can tell when things pop in and out of thin air. We can tell when you're covering something up, making it to be somethng its not just because of a few props. Charlie's Angels may be in the same lines of Kill Bill but thats what its supposed to be. A chick flick. Not burst arteries flooding some fancy restaurant caused by some chick that trained for one month after coming out of a 4 year coma and expecting us to classify it along with Saving Private Ryan.
I cant wait for Kill Bill 2.

What do you mean by 'credibility'?
You mean believable? Satisfactory?
Bah. Anyways Kill Bill 1 was ok ok only to me. Go and watch Pulp Fiction. That's much better.
