You can probably find an 18yo who looks young enough. But the post below yours is dead-on. I thought anime was more appropriate too.phongn wrote:There's no way they could have gotten a child actor for those scenes, and they needed to tell her story ...Death from the Sea wrote:The movie is good and is alot of good ass-kicking fun, but I could have done without that long/lame-ass retarded anime bit for O-Renshi.
Tried that, with a variety of variations. But the only theater that will let me buy R-rated tickets(not to mention the only one within walking/biking distance) is only showing Kill Bill and Mystic River, which they know I wouldn't really go to see.SAY YOU'RE GOING TO ONE MOVIE AND THEN SNEAK INTO ANOTHER!
Got buses in your area? Or maybe an older relative who'll sneak you in?HemlockGrey wrote:Tried that, with a variety of variations.

True, which is cool, because O-Ren's chapter alone was enough to satisfy me. Mmm...Leone...Durran Korr wrote:I think that Madsen's chapter in Vol. 2 is going to be the one most directly giving homage to Westerns.
Don't you have any friends who you can sleep over with? Just do that, and then go see the movie.HemlockGrey wrote:Buses? Yeah, but none that run to the Springfield shopping center, Edgemont, or the King of Prussia Mall. Plus, I'd need an excuse to disappear for about four hours.
And no older relatives.

Local theater only shows two movies, buddy. Thanks for the condescening rolleyes, you obivously know my local theaters better than I do.Why can't you just say you're going to see one of the movies that ISN'T rated R? You said yourself they won't check your ID.
You only said before it was showing two 'R' movies, you never stated that they were the only movies playing, period.

hell yeah man, the people in the theatre laughed when she plucked out that guys eyeball too, that shit was hilarious.Luke Starkiller wrote:anarchistbunny wrote:Or Black Momba claiming all their limbs.phongn wrote:Vendetta meant the spanking scene.

Yes, there's a lot of O-Ren scenes (among others) which are heavily influenced by Sergio Leone.Admiral Valdemar wrote:Having finally got around to seeing this I can say it fucking rocked! Good ol' Tarantino, I must get the soundtrack tomorrow.
Oh yeah, is it me or did the intro scene to O-Ren Ishii similar to Once Upon A Time In The West? I just found the music and general feel to be like when Harmonica finds his enemy.
The music, which I shall hear again when I get the OST tomorrow, sounded a lot like Ennio Morricone's masterpieces. Very western like considering the obvious contrast with it being an eastern movie about samurai like assassins.Robert Treder wrote:Yes, there's a lot of O-Ren scenes (among others) which are heavily influenced by Sergio Leone.Admiral Valdemar wrote:Having finally got around to seeing this I can say it fucking rocked!

And the contrast isn't as wide as you'd think...samurai movies have always been very much like westerns, and vice-versa. Just think of how perfectly Yojimbo and The Seven Samurai translate into westerns.Admiral Valdemar wrote:The music, which I shall hear again when I get the OST tomorrow, sounded a lot like Ennio Morricone's masterpieces.

True, my Dad actually loved this film too and knows that most of his fave westerns are influenced by Kurosawa's epics. The upclose images of the characters are a Leone trademark, but then he is Tarantino's idol.Robert Treder wrote:And the contrast isn't as wide as you'd think...samurai movies have always been very much like westerns, and vice-versa.

You've got total badasses, all with their own senses of morality, duelling each other in a lawless world, with helpless innocents looking on. That describes both the western genre and the samurai genre.
Maybe he'll be like Revolver Ocelot from Metal Gear Solid...
That was a Colt Single Action Army? Holy fuck how could you survive being shot in the head with one of those?Admiral Valdemar wrote:I also noted Bill used a Colt Single Action Army revolver, the greatest handgun ever made and the one that won the west.
