Kill Bill Vol. 1

rapidstag74 said:P.S.
I'm sitting here watching some movie on local cable where a bunch of hillbillies are opening fire on a parrot with AK-47s.

Well, I'm currently downloading some photos of Chiaki, which were likely taken back when girls her age in America would have been legally prohibited from posing like that. To top it off, I've got Shkoro playing on the TV in the background along with "sumi, sumi, javore." East Meets West. Talk about symbolism.

By the way, speaking of being obsessed with cute Japanese women, it reminded me of that World Cup in Japan, back when the Prince and his crew were out filming local girls in different cities. There are scenes where they’re filming schoolgirls all giggling awkwardly—you know, that specific way only Japanese women do it—and then it cuts to one of our fans saying, "Man, there are plenty of hot ones, but none of them will let us hit on them." Later, you see the Prince and the guys sitting in a shopping mall, shouting at passing Japanese women:

"HEY LITTLE LADY!!!! WHERE YOU HEADED, HUH?!!! WANT ME TO BUY YOU A DRINK?!! HEY, HEYYYYYY, LITTLE LADY!!111" and the women just ignore them and dodge the camera.

I don't know, it's some kind of diary written in Japanese, so someone just translated a part of it... she's just so sweet, and I can't stand sweetness, unless it's actually sweet.
Actually, Japanese women prefer a more aggressive approach; knock them unconscious with a fast tiger style, and then they'll follow you wherever you want once they wake up-.

rapidstag74 said:Probably, since most of them have... asymmetrical teeth.
I don't see that being an issue with Chiaki.

P.S.
I'm watching this movie on KanalRI where some hillbillies are blasting at a parrot with AKs.

Damn that channel... why do I have such crappy taste... I'm actually rooting for the hillbillies... what happened to the parrot?

In the background, some local folk singer and a nursery rhyme are playing on my TV. East Meets West. Talk about symbolism.

Exactly.

Just clarify for me who exactly represents the "East" and who represents the "West" in that little analogy of yours.

casualotter21 said:Well, I'm sitting here downloading photos of Chiaki right now—photos that were probably taken back when girls her age wouldn't even be allowed to pose like that in the States... and meanwhile, I've got Shkoro playing on the TV in the background along with some old folk tunes. Talk about East Meets West. Such symbolism...

Can I get a link, please?
Thanks-.
You won't find a better collision of East and West than this.

Some kid showed up with a gun and killed the hillbillys.

Pfft, even the rednecks aren't what they used to be.

The parrot decided to pursue a career in Hollywood. It didn't survive the trek across the Rocky Mountains.

Last words: "Polly hates crackers."

rapidstag74 said:Just explain to me who counts as East and who is West in this analogy.

HAHAHA!!! Well played! Seriously though, you do make one wonder.

Justin Patel said:link please.

Err, *your* link.

Man, that kid is so Hollywood, and a hillbilly isn't the same thing as a redneck.
When I was in the States, I actually met those hillbillies and they were pretty cool.
There was this guy named Kenny living out in the sticks near my grandfather's place (not sure how, since his estate is pretty wealthy), just out in some rural shack. He had a beer belly sticking out of an "I Love America, God Loves Us" shirt, he'd constantly borrow twenty bucks from my granddad, and his wife would beat him... what kind of crazy people are these? That's just America for you...
And those Hollywood parrots always say the exact same thing.

Justin Patel said:Look, that kid is pure Hollywood. Being a hillbilly isn't the same thing as being a redneck.
When I was traveling through the States, I actually met those hillbillies. They were something else.
There was this guy, Kenny. He lived out in some rural shack near my grandfather’s place—not that I know exactly where, since that neighborhood is pretty upscale. The guy had a beer belly spilling out of a "I Love America" shirt, spent his days drinking cheap beer, borrowed twenty bucks from my grandad every other week, and his wife used to beat him. Just total lunatics. That's the real America right there.
Meanwhile, those Hollywood parrots just keep repeating the same tired script.

So what's left then? The ones wearing baseball caps, breeding livestock for fun, driving pickup trucks, and convinced aliens snatched Elvis?

rapidstag74 said:So you're talking about the guys who wear baseball caps, enjoy breeding livestock on their own, drive pickup trucks, and actually believe aliens kidnapped Elvis?

Rednecks—they’re mostly down South. You forgot they deal with crises, breed cheese, stay close to family, and even have names like Billy Bob.
Hillbillysy live up in the mountains, but you find them in cities too; they're more like that trailer trash crowd who live, eat, and shop like animals... instead of people.

Just finished watching the movie.

I’m definitely going to sit down and watch it again soon.

The absolute standout moment has to be that scene with the snowflakes. Honestly, scenes like that are why I have such a love-hate relationship with Quentin Tarantino; I find myself wishing I could have been the one to dream it up, storyboard it, and direct it myself. It was pure perfection, with every single snowflake landing exactly where it needed to.

And man, when that spaghetti western style music started kicking in... I actually found myself tearing up. It just hit me with this massive wave of nostalgia.

It’s one of those rare cinematic experiences where I didn't feel the urge to shout commentary at the screen every five minutes.

Oh, and yeah, now I really want a katana hanging on my wall.

Gnn, rapidstag74 and Justin Patel!!!!!

Please, let's not derail this thread! - you guys have turned the last page into a total mess that has absolutely nothing to do with movies.

😠

this movie is absolute perfection
I'm dying to see the sequel

so much blood... absolutely brilliant
the soundtrack 👍
those katanas 👍

if I can just wrap my head around the plot and figure out who's actually who... yeah.

the best part was those Japanese guys at the meeting—all that yelling and arguing in Japanese🙏:
and that other spray of blood from the neck—you know, when she sprints across the table and decapitates that guy? I was cracking up😁😁 🙏

Stop derailing the thread! The last page is just a mess of stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with the movie.

😠

As far as I'm concerned, I'm with you. If I had more free time, I'd be the first one jumping in to delete those posts. It’s just not right to go off-topic—and people do it on TV too, though I deal with much more of that in my daily life than I do here...

To bring things back on-topic for a moment: did I mention how much I loved this film? Did I? Well, no matter, I'll just say it again right now! 😁

orc said:this movie is stupid as hell (sorry), I stopped watching after 25 minutes👎

SAME HERE
👎

Yeah... honestly, it wouldn't even be fun if everyone actually liked the movie.😁

casualotter21 said:As far as I'm concerned—I agree with you. If it were up to me, I'd be the first one scrubbing those posts. It’s wrong to wander into off-topic territory here, just like on TV, and I spend way more time there than I do on this site...

Suckupaaaaaa!!!

STAY ON TOPIC, D'OH...

I'm heading to the theater this week. No matter what.
Is it any good?

Richard Hernandez13, regarding the off-topic stuff... just move those posts over to Oasis.

rapidstag74 said:Is it any good?

Yeah, it's fantastic.
But listen, they said the same thing about Beowulf; you might be better off just going to see it yourself to realize how damn good the movie actually is...

rapidstag74 said:I am going to see a movie this week. No matter what.

That's the spirit! I'm actually heading back to catch that movie again this week myself.

Is it actually any good?

Hello? I’m the one who recommended "dawn bite" to you—the guy who used to write those ridiculous ninja novel parodies with you over at Literature. Dude, of course the movie is good! It's actually fantastic. Its brilliance lies in the fact that it is intentionally trashy and full of clichés. Honestly, if someone ever asked us to adapt a ninja novel, our version would probably end up looking exactly like that film. Trust me on this!

That works for me.

Honestly, this movie is just stupid and feels like it has zero plot. It’s bad. I really expected way more from my favorite director, I guess. I think most people would agree that he's made much better films throughout his career.
