Kill Bill

Anyone looking forward to this move? "The 4th movie from Tarantino", as they want to be sure you know.
The premise looked super cool. A pregnant Uma is shot at the alter and left for dead, or so they thought, then awakens from a coma years later wanting revenge. And she appears to be an expert in martial arts and using swords. It has decent stars and even David Carradine as Bill, he of Kung Fu fame. And Uma as the hell bent for revenge wench. It was meant as one movie. Then, Tarantino refused to cut anymore off his 3 hour cut.
So the producers and he decided to cut the movie in half and release it as 2 movies. Volume 1 starts Friday, Volume 2 in February. So now we have 2 90 minute movies. And that to me, just plain sux. Comes across more as greed than anything. Titanic was over 3 hours, as has many movies. So now they expect us to pay twice for one movie? And they wonder why some resort to getting pirated movies. :;
And of course each half will be released as a single DVD, and perhaps a super DX edition with them together (ie, more moola). - From tarantino
Still, it does sound like a darn cool flick.
Tarantine wants to do a prequel if this makes any money. Now they have two chances to make moola.

Starts off rather weird and slow, but kicks butt the last half. Some very cool scenes and surprises. 
Thought for a second it was going to be that old store too.
