thistlechaserSince some people had said Kill Bill was good, I attempted to watch it tonight. Ugh. It was about as close to my definition of "good" as murder by a pickaxe is. I watched it for a half-hour to give it a fair chance, then gave up on it. In those 30 minutes I saw these oh-so-logical and
So let's see. It started with a wonderfully detailed (note the sarcasm) viewing of a woman who had been beaten bloody being tended to by the man who tortured her. Then we get a nice close viewing of him shooting her. Or maybe he shot himself, who knows! Whoever laid out the camera shot was more interested in showing the splattering blood.
Then next we watch two women have a knife and karate fight through the house. And what stops it? The death of one of them? The cops? Nope! The one woman's daughter comes home, so they just stop fighting and hide the knives behind their backs so the girl won't see them. Whisky Tango Foxtrot, over? Of course it ends with the women killing each other in front of this kid anyway (four years old, what the HELL were the parents thinking even letting her on the set? Gods.).
Then the next scene. A chick is in a coma. One man sells the rights to RAPE her for all of $20. Luckily she woke up out of the coma (because a mosquito bit her) and so, after being in the coma for four years she kicks two guys' asses and then kills them. That's right. The moment she wakes up after years of being in a coma, she kills people. And guess what! We get to see it close up!
And the final, and perhaps most lovely (sarcasm alert!) scene: A whole church full of people get shot to death. Typical fat white cop wearing sunglasses arrives. Comes in. Quite visibly lusts over the dead pregnant woman with a chalk line drawn around her. Then guess what! She's not dead! She spits blood in his face! So somehow these cops had no idea she was alive, they drew a damned chalk outline around her and never checked her pulse?
I turned it off at that point. I have not one single idea how anyone could have liked that movie, not unless they just get off on the ideas of abusing women, beating them, raping them, and watching them cut each other to death. Quentin Tarantino must have issues so big you could eclipse the sun with them. He should get therapy. Fast. I hope he's on some kind of medication.
For dinner I tried Gardenburger's non-chicken BBQ chicken patties. I think they were good, but it was really hard to tell. The BBQ sauce was that kind that's so strong and tangy that you literally can't taste anything else after it, so I have no idea if the chicken tasted good or not. It's amazing how they can make it look so much like chicken though -- it "flakes" just right. I over-microwaved it, which also didn't help. I have one more patty left in the box, I'll probably eat it some time. (If I don't, it'll be because of the BBQ sauce, not because of the chicken/soy.)
It's amazing they can make such a good fake meat out of soy. It reminds me of the food replicators on Star Trek, and it also makes me wonder why more people aren't eating it. If it can pass for meat, and it's much better for you than meat, and from what I've seen so far it's the same price as meat...
