In This World Even Winter Ain’t What It Seems:
I watched Kill Bill this Saturday and I thought it sucked quite frankly. I guess the production and music was alright, but the script and dialogue was lame and actually boring from time to time. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for senseless violence and overblown choreography, but if there had been a bit of a story or maybe some interesting dialogue I think Tarantino could've won me over fairly easily. But it had nothing and I left feeling annoyed and slightly nauseous. So after that (and in general) I needed a good laugh, so I watched Lewis Black - Unleashed and Dennis Miller - The Raw Feed, which had plenty of laughs. The Black stuff from 1998 is absolutely hilarious even though I had heard some of the bits before on his White Album (like the "If it weren't for my horse" bit) it had me laughing hard. Obviously, you're always a little scared that he might pop an aneurysm during his performance, but that's also a part of the charm. I guess Dennis Miller woke up around 9/11 and decided that he just wasn't conservative enough and now he's probably the most pro-Bush, pro-war, pro-killing everyone in the Middle East comedian ever. But he's still funny even though he's talking out of his ass sometimes. I rounded of the evening by watching Confidence, which was really cool. Everything about it is just cool - the cast, the story, the dialogue, and the way Burns talks to Hoffman. That's the kind of movie Tarantino should be making instead of whackass ninja flicks. Now I'm back home, so I guess I have to get back to normal life. I have to apply for a couple of jobs this week and do some other stuff as well. I've been thinking about some stuff the last couple of days and one them is Simply Red. I'm not a big fan of Simply Red, but sometimes I think Mick Hucknall was right when he said, "If you don't know me by now - you will never never never know me". Know what I mean?
