Neat-o*
Aaah, the American Cinematheque at the Egyptian Theatre screened "Kill Bill: Vol.1," which I saw right when it came out, however the fun part of getting tickets was the Q&A with the dazzling-energy-radiating-sexier-than-a-mac-pop-culture-lover director/writer afterward. Indeed, it was incredible. He radiates so much energy, and it didn’t help to calm him down that all 650 seats of the theatre were filled with cinephiles and B-movie fans.
The bombardment of questions begun, ranging from violence, to how come the flick was split in two, to the experience of filming in China, to his kung-fu movie influences, to fighting sequences without digital effects, to music, because he believes music and movies go hand in hand, to the obligatory budget, schedule, etcetera foo, and of course to Vol.2, is it done? Yes! Blah blah blah. He wasn’t disclosing too much information, other than to say that there will be more focus on character development, and oh yes, a killer and brutal trailer fighting scene between the gals, which will be so beautiful it will hurt to watch.
One thing about Tarantino that quickly revealed itself is that he is very entertaining; he takes a question, rants away, and in the process tells a lot of anecdotes. I would have liked to have had my Canon Optura 200MC because it was so cool, but instead I had my Nikon Coolpix, which is slowly dying on me, this reminds me that I shouldn’t get started on camera talk––I’m dreaming about the Nikon D2H, keyword “dreaming.”
*Macs are sexy; Tarantino is sexier.
Someone nicely pointed out how the date in my entry was confusing. And then of course I realized my mistake, silly rabbit. I uploaded the image earlier yesterday (yes I know, I was only at the Q&A) with the intent of coming back to write about it later, which is exactly what I did. I was up until four in the morning playing around with my blog and this entry, hence the "yesterday" in "Aaah, yesterday the American Cinematheque..." The entry makes sense now, thank you. :-)
