That I can't do, because I agree with you quite frankly :disgust:

The whole flying bit is about the only thing I didn't really like in KB.

I saw it. 20 minutes of action. 100 minutes of yawning. Also, the ending was predictable.

Vol 1 is vastly superior.

I just got back. It was interesting, and it did leave me with a big grin (though perhaps not as big as the first). I was laughing my ass off at a couple of the grossest bits (esp. the fight with Elle).

i thought it was good, very tarantino-like dialogue... way different from part one, it's the more "dramatic" of the two...

btw, if anyone doesn't want to watch the vol. 2 to find out the name, just check the dvd... you can see her name somewhere if you know where to look ;)

actually, Bill calls her by her name in the opening scene ;) we just didn't know it at the time.

I heard that they're going to be releasing both parts as a single movie sometime over the summer. that, I think, will be interesting to see.

So I paid $16 for K.B. and got a raincheck to get R.Dogs for $4. :confused: What a waste of a trip. Oh well. I added two more to my DVD collection.

Awh, crap .. i got hosed! i paid 15 for reservoir dogs like 2 months ago.. and plan on getting kill bill 1. . maybe i'll just wait to buy the set.

hah, no don't worry, u had a chance to get it for 8.99 a couple weeks ago too;)

ah...anyways u probably got the real se, not the plastic weenie case one.

no real loss anyways. wait for next release of kill bill, the special edition. this edition is lousy.

Saw it last night :) Very good followup to Vol 1, though it was a little slow and drawn out, which I know was for a purpose. And I was expecting a much larger ending fight... oh well :)
