Oh dropper of spoilers, I would like not to have known that at this point.
A recommendation or two.
Lost In Translation - Bill Murray is great.
Bubba Ho-Tep. It�s such an odd little movie. Elvis is indeed alive, and living in an East Texas rest home.
And
Elephant - An interesting film which is tied in to, but not about, Columbine.

And it's good. Not gooo-OOOOO-ooood, the way, say, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness were good, but good. And also I concur with Jay having seen Lost In Translation for the second time today (this time with my Japanese speaking gf). Another fine Coppola product.

Because I didn't know there was going to be a part 2. And so at the end of the movie, I was all, "What a fucking cool way to end it, so we the audience have to imagine __________ completing her revenge. How perfect." But then my friends told me I was an ass.
LOL! I loved how they bleeped her name out... why did they do that!?! Just wierd-ass Tarantino?

LOL! I liked when the lights went out and it was just that blue background - it reminded me of the 'blue room' scenes in "Cube".
There was that fist-fight in BJD! That was funny how everyone ran out to watch it. (I think that that was in that movie).

$ $ $ $ $ $ I just saw Kill Bill. BEST MOVIE EVER! Though i don't understand how you can have blood gushing out of your arm like a firehose... my bro. puked in the anime sequence. I think it was around the part where Lucy Liu's (HOT WITH SHORT HAIR) "dad" (I mean Lucy Liu) was stabbed and about a good 4 gallons of blood came out (intresting we are supposed to have about 4 quarts...) I was laughing at all the carnage at the end of the battle: "Leave now all of you! your limbs are mine!"

(I puked when Lucy Liu's scalp was cut off...

You can't. Tarantino did it like that to pay homage to b-movie martial arts films of old that had obscene amounts of blood squirting out every which way.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Psyliam's right: the "firehose of blood" thing is a martial arts movie tribute. Notice that the girl with her arm severed never lost consiousness (whaen she's actually have bled to death in minutes)?
Note also the lovely model of the city as the plane touches down in Japan.

It's only fake blood after all. Granted, it is being sprayed out of a power shower, but still... I've never seen/heard of anyone being sick or passing out in a movie. My sister did cry when Bambi died though...

"Blair Witch Project" had a lot of people getting motion sickness, but watching the Anakin/Amidala "They'd never understand our love" scene is the closest I've ever come to actually puking in the theatre.
