Kill Bill, Vol. 2<\/a>, of course ! (Seriously, can I hear a collective … looooooser !!!)<\/p>\nWell, it wasn’t quite like that … first I did substantive yardwork, attacking with a vengence my backyard for some spring cleaning maintenance …<\/p>\n
Meaning,<\/p>\n
I spent two hours on my hands and knees crawling around scooping up dog poop. Yeah, it was time to pick up all the winter droppings of Indiana Jones Lando Calrissian … YIKES !!! Such glamour in my life, huh ?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Anywhose, it was a fairly productive weekend of outsideness … my backyard is at least prepared now for some chemical treatment … after having raked and bagged a dozen plus bags of leaves and other yard waste-age.<\/p>\n
Though on a side note, I would like the record to reflect,<\/p>\n
I hate yardwork.<\/p>\n
Absolutely hate it !!<\/p>\n
My mom recently commented that if I would go out less and keep up with the yardwork more, I wouldn’t hate it so much when I did it.<\/p>\n
Maybe, but regardless,<\/p>\n
I found myself compelled to briskly reply without a moment’s pause …<\/p>\n
“Well, if I go out, maybe I can find a guy that’ll eventually do my yardwork for me.<\/i>”<\/p>\n
It was at this point that my dad groaned softly while shaking his head !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Oh well … after finishing such duties … I decided to clean up and go catch a flick.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately … as is the case with much in my life …<\/p>\n
Everyone I know was either otherwise occupied or had no interest in seeing said flick.<\/p>\n
So … once again … there I was … uttering the second most frequent phrase in my life …<\/p>\n
“One please.<\/i>”
\n
\nAfter scamming my ticket, obtaining my requisite frozen Mountain Dew and popcorn lathered in fake butter product …<\/p>\n
I made my way into the stadium seating of theater number 6 in my favorite 20 theater complex … and scanned for a good spot to stake my claim.<\/p>\n
I had arrived there early enough for some good seat selection, while not too early so that the previews would start shortly after my arrival. A skilled developed after years of frequent movie-going.<\/p>\n
Anyways, it was at this point that I noticed …<\/p>\n
I’m the only chick there by myself.<\/p>\n
Oh sure … there’s more than a handful of solo guys there,<\/p>\n
And plenty of guys there with guys – all separated in their homophobic way by one empty seat between them …<\/p>\n
But just me who appeared to be there by herself.<\/p>\n
I’m really not sure if that’s something girls just don’t do,<\/p>\n
Or if it’s indicative that I’m pathetic and can’t find anyone to go with me,<\/p>\n
Or if it’s just confirming my membership in the geekwad club remains …<\/p>\n
All I know is that regardless of what it signifies,<\/p>\n
I really don’t care.<\/p>\n
It was just something I notice. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Now as I had hoped, I timed my arrival perfectly with the start of the previews …<\/p>\n
Which commenced mere moments after I had planted myself in a great, mid placement, aisle seat.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, apparently picking up dog poop and raking leaves can cause one to work up an appetite, because before the previews even ended, I found myself with the one conundrum every solo movie go’er fears …<\/p>\n
How do you save your seat if you need a refill of popcorn or frozen Mountain Dew?<\/i><\/p>\n
There’s really no good way … especially in summer months when you’re not wearing a coat that you could leave in the chair …<\/p>\n
Sometimes I just leave napkins in the chair, sorta make it messy … hoping that’ll scare people off,<\/p>\n
Sometimes I ask someone sitting close by to let others know it’s taken,<\/p>\n
Other times I just wait until far enough in the movie so that my risk of late arrivals showing up and taking my seat is minimal …<\/p>\n
But in this instance, I wanted refills before the movie started and there really wasn’t anyone that I felt like asking to help me out …<\/p>\n
So I took a napkin and wrote the following message, then left it laid out on the top of the seat after it had popped back up …<\/p>\n
“This seat is mine. Don’t piss me off. The Bride.<\/i>”<\/p>\n
I don’t know if it worked,<\/p>\n
Heck, I don’t know if anyone read it at all,<\/p>\n
Or even could in the dim light of the theater during previews,<\/p>\n
And I don’t know if any of you find it as amusing as I did while I smirked writing it out (seeing the first flick might help in that sense) …<\/p>\n
But I do know …<\/p>\n
Upon my return, my seat was still my seat !!!<\/p>\n
Wooo hooo \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Anyways, I suppose I should get to the review at some point, huh ??<\/p>\n
Okay … here goes.<\/p>\n
Go see the phreaking movie.<\/p>\n
It’s great !!<\/p>\n
Not only is it worth full price on a weekend evening, it’s worth paying full price on a weekend evening twice to see it again.<\/p>\n
It’s different from Kill Bill, Vol. 1 …<\/p>\n
Which was a great, great movie with lots of really kewl, kung fu fight scenes …<\/p>\n
Instead, this Vol. 2 is more character development …<\/p>\n
Getting to know the personalities better,<\/p>\n
Understanding where they came from,<\/p>\n
And to where they are going.<\/p>\n
Of course, it has some kung fu fun in it,<\/p>\n
And what I consider the best fight scene between two women ever,<\/p>\n
Along with some really funny lines …<\/p>\n
Wherein fun is made of the movie itself and others like …<\/p>\n
Plus plenty of suspense,<\/p>\n
A couple of “ukkkkk” moments,<\/p>\n
Fun, fun action …<\/p>\n
And an ending of resolution.<\/p>\n
Now, I suppose if there is anything critical I noted about the movie,<\/p>\n
It was that there was a lot of talking,<\/p>\n
And I mean …<\/p>\n
Lots and lots of people talking with each other.<\/p>\n
Now, it didn’t bother me until near the end,<\/p>\n
But I won’t get into what bothered me about it, at least just yet …<\/p>\n
Because that would give the ending away,<\/p>\n
And I try not to do that.<\/p>\n
However, I will say, what bothered me was short lived, because eventually it was resolved in a way that met with my approval before the end. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
So if you liked the first Kill Bill, Vol. 1, I think you’ll find Vol. 2 fulfilling and fun. If you haven’t seen Vol. 1, you really don’t need to see it to enjoy Vol. 2 in my opinion, but if you get a chance to rent Vol. 1 beforehand, do it. The movies are really different, but fit well with each other. I’m not sure I’d call Vol. 2 a sequel … it’s more, well … just Vol. 2. Sort of like the LOTR series (Lord of The Rings you butt non-geeks :)) … more of a continuation than a sequel or second doing.<\/p>\n
I consider the movie a must see.<\/p>\n
Final rating … 8 out of 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
