"It's so violent, people will leave the movie theatre or get sick in the movie theatre. There's so much violence that it becomes not numbing, but almost comedic. There's a scene where there's so much violence that the colour of the film goes into black and white, so that the blood looks like oil. It's cinematic; it's art."
On the latest "DISNEY" movie by snuff-film porn director, Quentin Tarantino, "KILL BILL" Lucy Liu - snuff film afficionado.
"Kill Bill Will Make You Sick!" Lucy Liu about Tarantino's latest
The films of Quentin Tarantino are not exactly known for his use of puppies and daffodils. Indeed, leaning more towards the ear-slicing, head-exploding end of the spectrum than that which makes Disney so much money has, along with dementedly funny dialogue and pop-culture references, become something of a trademark for the director. But having not directed a movie since Jackie Brown in 1997, Tarantino's lust for flying claret has mounted up and will, according to Lucy Liu, turn more than a few stomachs when Kill Bill reaches our screens.
"It's so violent," she told press in Beijing while promoting Charlie's Angels 2. "People will leave the movie theatre or get sick in the movie theatre. There's so much violence that it becomes not numbing, but almost comedic. There's a scene where there's so much violence that the colour of the film goes into black and white, so that the blood looks like oil. It's cinematic; it's art."
From the man who put Michael Madsen into audiences' nightmares and had John Travolta stab a four-inch needle into Uma Thurman's heart, you can bet that Liu isn't exaggerating either. But don't be put off seeing what's sure to be a quality film by the odd severed limb. "You can take it to a different level, and show what violence is in such a heightened manner that you don't think of it as violence anymore," says Liu. "You think of it as a language."
It's not mindless violence for the sake of it, it's art, see?

I saw an advance screening of "Kill Bill" last week ... it is that violent, so don't go unless you enjoy severed body parts and jets of blood.

I thought that part was pretty funny. Serves him right for hanging out with bubblegummers.
But anyway, I find it amusing that Disney doesn't want to touch Mel Gibson's film but thinks that putting this out in the theaters is better.

GREAT As long as whiney mommy groups oppose excessive violence, I'm in favor of it.
Gotta train kids to deal with the real world somehow.
This will certainly produce a better class of young adults than the excessive Bambiism of the '70s and '80s did.

When you lack creativity, what do you do? Turn to violence. It`s what infants do. They haven`t reached the stage yet where they can create, so they bang and break their toys. Just like rap...can`t create anything original so you take the other guys melodies and curse over them.
HULK SMASH!

"Snuff-porn?" Gimme a break.
Gotta actually kill someone on screen to qualify. Special effects don't count. It's fake blood with fake body parts.

But was is good? Violence is a-okay with me, lol.
To: metalboy
It's a mish-mash, ultra-violent, rip off of several Asian movie scenes, including some of John Woo's best, wrapped around a comic book plot.

DISNEY DISTANCE AFTER TARANTINO RECOMMENDS BLOODY 'KILL BILL' TO BOYS AND GIRLS
**Exclusive**
Top WALT DISNEY CO. executives are growing increasingly uncomfortable with the shock nature of films coming from DISNEY's substudio MIRAMAX, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, just as director Quentin Tarantino recommends his new blood-gushing movie to both boys and girls!
MIRAMAX honcho Harvey Weinstein retained DISNEY chair Michael Eisner's legal nemesis Bert Fields in a symbolic gesture, foreshadowing a possible split, Los Angeles sources tell DRUDGE.

The VILLAGE VOICE last week declared MIRAMAX/DISNEY's KILL BILL "The Most Violent American Movie Ever Made," and the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER warned it "oozes, drips, flows, gushes, splatters... scalps, limbs and heads are freely removed from characters' bodies."
If you are a "girl or boy you must go and see KILL BILL and you will have a damn good time... boys will have a great time, girls will have a dose of girl power," Tarantino said this weekend in London.
When pressed about his KILL BILL recommendation for "girls and boys," Tarantino explained the film would be okay for kids starting at 12-years old.
"If you are a cool parent out there go take your kids to the movie," he told a reporter.
A top DISNEY source reveals chairman Michael Eisner has become concerned MIRAMAX is pushing the envelope too far with KILL BILL.
"Look, the movie is ultimately a WALT DISNEY concern, we've moved so far away from PINOCCHIO and BAMBI," a top DISNEY source said from Burbank. "[KILL BILL] has led to a deep reassesment of the situation and relationship [with MIRAMAX]."

That wasn't Uma Thurman. I believe it was Rosanna Arquette who got the needle.

It was Uma who got the needle. Rosanna was just sitting there watching and smiling. It was sick but it was kind of a classic scene.

I guess I've been around here for about 6 years or so now. Time sure flies!
When Jim Robinson started this site, it was because he was fed up with the liberal media, and how they would not let people worldwide know about the corruption of the Clinton Administration. A few of us, equally concerned, (with great luck) found it fast.
In the early days, FR was a day-to-day operation, always on the brink of bankruptcy. Jim kept on, and we chipped in when it became too much. We knew how important this site was, and is. Sometimes, it came down to the wire, and we wrote checks, and sent them in, as best we could.
Look at it now. We all get our best information from this site. It is huge, with thousands of posters, and millions of readers. Yet Jim still keeps it alive because of his conviction, and he is absolutely NOT making a profit on it. He just believes. As do we.
BTW, did you know that the founder of this site is in a wheelchair (sorry Jim; I know you think it doesn't make a r*ts a$$ difference. Hey, some folks out there need to come down a peg, like I have.).
Think of it! In the darkest days of the Clinton Administration, there was a lone internet site where people with integrity, brains, and sheer gumption could discuss the dangers faced by the US. Not on CNN, for sure.
Earthmovers like Drudge, Ann Coulter, Rush, WFBuckley, his brother, Savage, Buchanan, both houses of Congress (many) check in to see what we think.
The opposition checks it out, too. Like the NY times staff, CNN, AFL-CIO, China, etc. Trust me, they all come here to read. Even YOUR post. You know by now how they are whining about Rush? We're next, as soon as they figure out how they can trash this site without it getting a million hits.
I've been broke; I've been not broke. I've slept in my car. I know how it feels to be squeezed tight with bills. Folks with giant bills: You're not alone, and you have friends here. :)
If you love this site as much as I do, please, please sign up for automatic payment of just $3 per month. Don't be embarrassed if you think this is too little. It absolutely is not. You $3 a month folks are our grassroots movement heroes. Be proud. Become one of the thousand points of light here, and you will so feel proud every month. We'll thank you for it, and are so glad to have you on board.
I know things are rough out there. But you are tough, and a member of the greatest grassroots freedom movement in 100 years. Together we are making history, and will change the world, as we already have. The best is yet to come.
Most countries out there would consider this website illegal. They hate us, for our freedom. Their systems cannot stand, in the face of Freedom. The people there read us when they can, when they are allowed to, and are not being tortured. They flock to us, America, because they want to be free. Help us help them.
Would you please, please consider signing up for just $3 a month? Please? Thats all it takes, really, believe it or not. You will make a world of difference, to, well, the world. Be proud, Americans, and please help out!
