David Carradine – he who urged the grasshopper to be patient – is dead. He was the Bill to Uma Thurman’s Beatrix Kiddo in Tarantino’s 2-volume masterpiece. There are a couple of competing theories out there regarding the nature of his death but none of them involve Pai Mei’s Five-Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique. One version says that kinky stuff might have led to his demise. Another story in the NY Post states that he might have been murdered by secret kung-fu societies who were not all that pleased with his investigations into their activities. I’m no expert on dying but those options are slightly on the extreme side. Whatever happened to good old old age? Sigh. Ju-do, Ju-die (ed: Just couldn’t resist it. could you? Oh well, to-fu or not to-fu…).
Kill Bill Vol. 1 was violence raised to an art form. I saw it with my mom. Must…contain…urge…to…rhyme. There. Anyway, it wasn’t one of your typical family flicks but then I’m not one to follow the cuddly crowd. In the spirit of deviation, I took her to The Hangover yesterday. It was a choice between that and Up, and she clearly did not want to see an animated feature, Pixar or not. Gently put, The Hangover is liberally sprinked with dollops of delightfully raunchy humour combined with artistic (gulp!) nudity in spots. Thank God The Proposal was not in town, since that was her first choice. A creased Sandra Bullock with that Two Guys and a Girl guy do not entertainment make.
i was surprised to find out how many more movies Carradine was in besides Kill Bill
Yeah, I discovered him in KB. Of course, we can’t be sure that he was in Vol 1, since they might have used his identical hand twin.
