What’s worse than movie commentary about a movie that’s been out forever? I’m not sure.. perhaps this. In any event saw Kill Bill Vol 2 today (foreshadowed bit of lameness) and I found it to my liking. Ah, that’s not quite right, it pretty much kicked ass without bothering to ask for names. I could go into a long movie-ish review and hit the high points/low points and plot points but what’s the point? Suffice it to say it’s much funnier than Vol 1 and has one of the greatest characters ever.
Yep, Pai-Mei is pretty effing cool. I saw Pai-Mei and I wanted to see an entire movie about HIm. Why not? He’s an eyeball plucking, sword dancing, back breaking, monk killing, thousand year old dude! Which is all cool stuff, I loved the secret Pai-Mei five fingered heart explosion touch of secret five step double death with chopped up whoppers. Except that’s not really the name, I can’t remember Pai-Mei’s secret move, it’s long and complicated like a fatality in Motal Kombat, no matter. Apparently you get hit with it and five steps later you’re dead. If anyone tries that crap on me I’m buying a wheelchair and a 45. Actually I’m pretty sure that supposed move has an Americanized counterpart called bacon.
Long story short, great movie. Funny, fast paced, over the top and made me want a beard like Pai-Mei’s. Memo to Quentin…I get it. I’m not saying it’s Memento or anything, but it’s pretty damn good.
