I've bee busy. Working on my script, trying not to get used to having no roommate in a double room in the dorms (long story, but I have no roommate at the moment and have no idea if/when I'll get one), crying and feeling sad about the end of To Boldly Flee and the Nostalgia Critic, trying to sort out my feelings about Spoony especially in light of his commentaries on To Boldly Flee, not sleeping enough, playing the Dresden Files RPG with friends via Google+, keeping track of all the shows I'm supposed to go to including a production of Rocky Horror which two of my friends are starring in, limping because of my stupid toenail, working in the scene shop, and oh yeah, classes ... 

... I have to chose the subject for the big ongoing project for one of my classes. We can chose a play or musical to hypothetically turn into a movie, or a movie to hypothetically turn into a play or musical. 
(I fucking love my school. : D )

I'm torn between Kill Bill and Labyrinth. 

Yes. I feel like Kill Bill would be challenging, maybe too challenging, but also badass and full of gore. And difficult to get research material for. On the other hand, Labyrinth could be this cool Nutcracker-esque adventure with changing sets and I could research mythology for that. 

Thoughts?

 Now while I know a bit about this movie from geek pop culture osmosis, I’ve never actually seen it. Until today.

This was written in my usual fashion, as I watched I would think of something to write, pause the movie, and type it up. Hence I am unaware of outcomes of plotlines early on in my comments. I did some minor editing after I'd finished, but not much. 

SPOILERS!!! Also, Tim Roth is Hot )
 

Kill Bill

 Watched Kill Bill Volume 1 tonight, again, for the first time a while. 

I am extremely bewildered as to why this remains one of my all-time favorite movies. It's extremely violent in a downright icky way at times, and there's a whole bunch of swearing. I shouldn't like this movie. I should hate this movie. 

But I don't. God help me, I love the whole thing, and I love the second one too. I don't really differentiate between loving the first one and loving the second one, though they are very different, but you can't have one without the other and they are the same movie, just split into two disks. 

Really, one of these days I'm gonna do a huge 'What aunt_zelda Thinks' rambling post about Kill Bill and my thoughts on it, but right now I don't have time for that epicness. 

I know I love this movie. Now I'm actually trying to puzzle out WHY I love this movie. (Tomorrow, if I have time, I'm watching the second one, don't worry. I'd watch it right now if I didn't have to get to sleep.)

Some probable contributing factors to why I love this movie so much:

The katanas
The fan-freaking-tastic music
David Carradine's voice
The kickass action sequences
The blink-and-you'll-miss-it darkest of dark humor
The katanas
The badass ladies
The fact that it makes me sound cool that I like this movie
David Carradine's voice
The utterly awesome way the movie is shot
The katanas
