What's up fans, haters, friends, and bitches?
 
Just got back from seeing Kill Bill Vol. 2. It was ok, but no where near as good as the first. Its cool seeing David Caridine (Bill) as a bad guy (Probably because I'm use to him playing the holy good guy in Kung Fu: The Legend Continues) but it got kinda of dull after a while. Quentin Tarantino couldn't and wouldn't make up his mind. Is Bill some evil bastard, or is he a nice guy?  Plus I didn't understand why Black Mamba (Uma Thurman) had the need to have some long conversation with the man that put a bullet in her head, killed her fiancee and put her in a comma for 4 years. Plus after she finally "Kills Bill" why is she crying? The guy wasn't crying when he put a bullet in your head? Stupid bitch lol.
 
The best part of the movie is when Black Mamba is training with her master, Pai Mai. This Chinese master is hilarious (Why the hell is he always playing with his beard? lol). I really liked how they made that part in the film look and feel like some old Kung Fu movie you would see late at night. Classic shit. Its just funny seeing some stereotypical old Chinese master talking shit and kicking ass. But they really didn't show that much of him which to me hurt the movie. This was the best part of the film. Its a shame that didn't show more of it.

Unfortunately Vol. 2 just gets boring. A lot of the dialog in this film is no where near as good (and clever) as the first one. Vol. 2 just seemed watered down compared to Vol. 1. Way too much pointless talking. And I call it pointless because the dialog fails short compared to the first film. Vol. 1 was witty, action packed, over the top, and had ridicilous killing mixed with a dark humor to it (Example: cartoon violence). There are humorous parts in Vol. 2, but it tried to add in the "Chick Flick" factor, which is pointless for this type of movie. This is some bait and switch shit right here. Remember American Pie 1? Great movie. Remember part 2? Remember when they tried to turn it into more of a love story? That shit pissed me off.. They suck you in with a good movie, so they can screw you with a weak sequel.
 
But it was still a decent movie (at best). But not as good as the first. So take my advice and wait for it to come out on video. It gets   out of a possiable 5.
 
But any ways, I've lost 25 pounds and I'm down to 225 baby. Its good to see that all my hard work is starting to pay off. My stomach is actually flat. I can walk around outside with my shirt off now, oh yeah baby!!!
 
Ummm hmmm thats all I really have to say right now, plus I'm tired. I'm out.
