A while ago I was telling people (not without some misgivings) that I am over action movies. I said that because all the mainstream action movies lately I just so haven't been interested in. Bourne Identity revolted me, it was so gross and the violence pissed me off. I dunno, I just didn't like it apart from Franke Potente. (Swoon..)
Anyhoo, I thought that all the artsy film festival movies I've seen have made me a bit of a film snob who doesn't like those predictable action films.
However, I've just seen Kill Bill and I loved it. Granted, it isn't your average Hollywood movie. I'm still not going to go to the latest Tomb Raider or anything. BUT this movie made me feel like I was 16 again seeing "Broken Arrow" or "Independence Day" with Regan :) Yay!
Kill Bill is funny. It has style coming out of it's ears. It's beautifully filmed and slick and just. so. cool.
Of course, the entire time I was watching it I was thinking "I could cosplay that..." I'm tempted to do the trademark yellow bloodstained tracksuit of Uma's. Which is a bit grotesque but *so cool*. I'd also quite like to do Gogo the insane Japanese schoolgirl/bodyguard. I don't look nearly Japanese enough, but she was pretty cool, and the costume would be easy enough to do.
I love the anime part of Kill Bill. Reminded me of the ones I liked from Animatrix: Kid's story, Detective story, the New Renaissance. The music all through was very cool too. Might go looking for the soundtrack.
