Kill Bill: Itchy and Scratchy Tribute Film



Haven't seen any of the KB franchise before. This was an excellent juxtaposition of Itchy and Scratchy style comic book driven but gratuitous violence with loads of filmic style and buckets of gallows humour, not to mention a literal blood bath.

Stunning fight choreography. Extraordinary inevitability - even without the known existence of sequels. Marvellous light relief.

Meanwhile Luke Akehurst has pointed out that a huge swathe of the Tory "gains" were in two-horse micro wards which are irrelevant to the next General Election. Which was cool. No bloodbath there then.

I like gallows humour myself, however, I accept that it is not to everybody's taste.

Watched the Long Good Friday again tonight on Ch 4. It should have been on over Easter. Better late than never. One of my favourites.

BTW, I saw your comment on Iain Dale's re the Tebbit thingy, and Verity's unthinking comment in response.
