Kill Bill - The Whole Bloody Affair - Be Prepared to Wait a lot longer

(Posted In Asia DVD News Film News Martial Arts USA and Canada )

KillBill_WBA.jpgThere are those of us out there that have refused to purchase the bare-bones editions of Kill Bill, Volumes 1 and 2. There are those of us who have been patiently waiting for perhaps a theatrical release of a combined, recut version of the film, which Mr. Tarantino labelled some time ago, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. It has been popping up in various places on the web that KB: TWBA is going to get some sort of cinema release before becoming a DVD package (this is not entirely surprising, see previous Twitch article here).

"I want to cut the whole movie together like one big epic with an intermission in the middle like a 60s film. It'll be coming out in theatres. I've been holding off because I've been working on it for so long that I just wanted a year off from Kill Bill and then I'll do the big supplementary DVD package."

So, Cinema Release in Winter 2006? DVD a few months later. Patience is a virtue, or so I've been told.

Here's what you do QT...go back and shoot Go Go Yubari's sister battling with Uma and put THAT in the film. Ice Cream truck of carnage and all. The one really cool idea I heard of for this film and it never made it past script.

Oh well...

I wish he could move on and focus on something new.

Like using his own ideas.

Eh, we all get fat and lazy at times in our lives. Threaten him with a return to the video rental place and he'd be making movies left and right again. All that money making people complacent.

I'm looking forward to this, however I couldn't wait, KB Vol 1 was the most fun I'd had in a theater for a long time. In fact, I saw it three times, the third I jumped out after being less than thrilled with Lost In Translation (which I now enjoy BTW), and crossed the hallway just in time to catch the House Of Blue Leaves sequence. I've also come into possession of a copy of the very expensive Japanese version, which I also love. Is it entirely original? No, but its a great way to kill 4 hours.

You can count me amongst the patiently waiting. Right now I can get a two pack of KB1$2 for 25-30$ but I can rent those out whenever I feel like it with pocket change.

I want the Whole Blood Thing babay!

After Jackie Brown several of the growing number of Quentin Tarantino fans felt pretty pissed off, where was the excessive bloodshed from Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction? For some (myself not included) there was alot missing, and not just the bloodshed.
For six years Tarantino would remain silent and when it was announced that he was coming back into the limelight with another project there was more buzz floating around hollywood and the internet than a beehive in the middle of summer.
I saw Kill Bill vol. 1 in the second week of its release in 2003, this was after my best friend told me he hated it, I stepped out of the theater that night with my mind blown (I say this with no hint of irony) not only was it Tarantino's best film since Fiction and the best american action film since the first Matrix but the best movie I had seen all year, hell it was the best movie going experience of my life.
The more blood that sprayed at the screen the more I loved it, the more times Uma brandished her Hattori Hanzo sword the more I began to realize that this would be the best american Kung Fu film since Enter the Dragon.
Tarantino had done what few other directors can do he made the transition from a one trick pony (for critics his one trick being Pulp Fiction) into a director who could establish his variety in different genres while still containing his own artistic identity.
So do I want the Whole bloody affair, you bet your ass.
