The first time I saw Kill Bill vol 1, I was alone. I mean, alone, I didn’t take anyone (cos all my friends went to a school dance that friday and I decided to see Tarantino’s new movie instead (since it had been 7 years since JB)) And no one was in the theater either… as it was a 9 o’clock show in a pretty small town, with a school dance going on. I loved the movie. I purposely read nothing about Kill Bill, aside from the release date… and all I knew about it was that it was split into two volumes. Anyway, after I saw it, I went the next day with a couple of friends. One of them liked the action and stuff, but thought the story was too bland and cliche… so I told him to hold off till Vol 2 knowing that it had to be more story driven cos it’s QT and I know QT. The other friend said that the action was pretty lame… no so much the blood and unrealism of it… just over the top. So I immeditately took her home and made her watch some Kung-Fu and Samurai movies. She loved it after that. Then I’ve talked to other friends that LOVE the movie…and some that didn’t like it, cos they get sickened by blood. But anyway… the weekend before Vol 2 came to theaters, my theater got Vol 1 to play at a midnight show. So I took about 15 friends and we all watched and we all LOVED it. We talked about it for hours afterwards. Then we all saw Vol 2 and loved it even more than Vol 1. Right after the credits rolled, we decided to just sit in our seats and they started letting other people in for the next showing… so we just stayed and watched it again. Most of my friends liked it. Only a couple girls didn’t like it. Which is understandable… or at least expected. But I love Kill Bill… only movie to rival it is Pulp, in my opinion
