Fuck Bill

That's what you feel like doing when two days before the mid sem you spend the whole night watching movies back to back... and not just brainless hindi flicks - you've been watching a Quentin Tarantino film. Two actually - 'cuz they're so damn different you don't know whether you should call the other a sequel.

Yes - I'm talking of the two masterpieces - Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2. Two word review - Fucking Awesome!!

The first scene hit my eyes at precisely 1:10 AM, 9th March 2005 and 5 hours 50 mins later, with the approx 4 hours and two volumes behind me, an hour spend on IMDB fooling around on discussion forums, 30 mins reviewing the awesome scenes and another 20 spent going to take a leak (quite a few leaks actually) - I realized I had screwed Mid Sem II as well!

It's 2:02 PM, 9th March 2005 and with just a day left for the mid sems I am actually listening to the Kill Bill Vol 1 sound track and posting this on my blog!

Fuck man - I must really have gone insane.

Volume I - is full of action - the Kung Fu variety. I remember my brother watching the Friday Fury films on Star Movies every week. Those crappy dubbed Chinese/Jap movies with flying monks and monkey, tiger, crane, dog, bitch, skunk, what-the-goddamn-fuck style of martial arts. And I used to have my weekly ritual of mock puking. But no, not this time. Kill Bill Volume I is one bloody, ghory, martial-arty movie that I've fallen in instant love with.

From the first scene till the last - you're glued to your seat. Tarantino has perfected the art of telling a story and building characters. When The Bride/Black Mamba (Uma Thurman) screams bloody revenge - you want to scream with her, when she cries in pain you want to cry with her, and when she sliced that arm off Sophie - you well, stare in horror! Oh, and then you wonder - does blood really spurt out like a fountain!

I think I'll never find out - anyone want to enlighten me on this.

Where Volume I is fast paced, Volume II is a drawn out with a slower pace and more dialogue. With more emotions other than that of anger and revenge. There's hatred, contempt, and love. Oh well, not to forget the emotion you get when you see an eyeball being squashed by bare foot :-). I can't get a precise word for it!

Tarantino keeps up with the mixed chronological sequence of story-telling (aka Pulp Fiction) - which makes the plot even more interesting.

What's the plot - The Bride (Uma Thurman) wants to take revenge from the Deadly Viper Assassin Group (or something like that) - for screwing her over real bad on her wedding (rehearsal) day. And in particular she wants to Kill Bill!

And I want to Fuck Bill - for fucking up my mid sems.

And while I'm at it - throw in Gates as well :-p
