Well, I was one of the goddamned idiots who didn't see Kill Bill, Vol. 1 in the cinema, but I fully intend to rectify that when it drops on DVD, and I mean to see Volume 2 on the big screen as I should. (And hey,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thessalian, in case you hadn't heard, it's got Takako in!) So I feel a little qualified to tell people this:
In today's USA Weekend, in the "Who's News by Lorrie Lynch" section, CNN's Anderson Cooper is quoted saying that he "won't waste time at bad movies: 'Kill Bill I walked out of.'"
I didn't say that everyone connected with the Brady Bunch Movie must be killed. I thought that much was obvious. But yet, inexplicably, Shelly Long walks the Earth still, spewing bile and horror.

Now, the fine print at the bottom lists seven people as "Contributing" to Who's News (which is to say, they did the actual writing). Since I don't know which one is responsible for the item in question, I'm not going to print the names here. I've passed them along to August, to pass on to his readers or not as he chooses. This has been in the nature of a public service announcement.
He was joking about the kicks in the head, he says, and about the lack of brain function involved in missing it, but not about his honest opinion that it's the greatest movie ever. (Whether that changed after RotK, I'll find out.)

KILL BILL IS THE GREATEST FUCKING MOVIE EVER MADE. IF ANYONE TELLS YOU OTHERWISE YOU ARE HEREBY ORDERED, BY ME, TO KICK THEM REPEATEDLY IN THE HEAD. ON THIS MATTER THERE IS NO ROOM FOR INTERPRETATION. YOU WILL GET UP, LEAVE YOUR HOUSE, AND GO SEE KILL BILL RIGHT FUCKING NOW. IF YOU DON'T, YOU ARE A GODDAMNED IDIOT.
That is all.
