Explore the suppressed true motivations hidden under their supposed divine mandate. Rather than making them cult heroes, pit them against society and make it a study on sociopathy. Make the Willem Dafoe character a sympathetic, understanding figure...who wants to put them behind bars, where they belong.<br /><br />Anyway, good work dude, gonna start following your blog!christopher fujinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464862833671189780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920518586829685863.post-66031357293200540522013-07-10T18:39:34.972-07:002013-07-10T18:39:34.972-07:00I could've written twice as much hate, if anyb...I could've written twice as much hate, if anybody could stand to read it all, and this is probably the thing I hated most that I didn't mention: appropriating religious imagery in a pretentious attempt to mix a little genuine meaning into your artistic bankruptcy.

All I'll add is I was initially intrigued as I thought the movie was going to ask some spiritural/socio-religious questions, but then I realized the whole hearing from god thing was just an excuse to gleefully shoot up a bunch of baddies. I hate this movie.christopher fujinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464862833671189780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920518586829685863.post-60034011958961891242013-06-25T15:58:07.908-07:002013-06-25T15:58:07.908-07:00I did not enjoy Kill Bill at all.

Couldn't put a finger to the exact reasons until we talked about it. <br /><br />"Guy Ritchie, before he went insane and married Madonna (not necessarily in that order), was one of these."<br /><br />Biggest LOL moment of the day!

I thought ...I really enjoyed most of your writing. I thought you were talking about a comedy. It would have made more sense as a comedy. The world has really changed that you can just find the killer right away without looking for them. and like you said, it's ok to kill bad people. People that the killer decides is bad that is. I mean, why don't we all just say that. They were bad, so I killed them and the law say, ok we see you're point, let's move onto the next killing and see why that one happened. As far as gay men, to me, that's not funny, worth watching or anything I'm interested in. I have never understood why a sex scene is put in a horror movie, or dramas anyway. No one CARES about that part of it....I also have never understand why writers/directors/actors are making a "statement" in the film when their "statement' has nothing to do with the plot of the filmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
