Frank - I don't remember how the husband died in the first bit, what happened? And didn't the daughter survive ?
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

I've just been reading up, and apparently the US release has a different ending.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, it's a "happier ending." But not exactly sunshine and roses. Just a slightly lower body count.

I'm intrigued by The Descent. Frankly I don't think they needed any supernatural elements. The teeny tiny spaces they were crawling through were scary enough! I don't enjoy gore, so I'm not sure I can see it. I wish it were more Blair Witch-y so I could enjoy the scare with out the blood...

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
Jars, they were both impaled.
I wonder how the ending was changed. I found the original ending needlessly grim; trashy horror films are meant to leave you exhilarated, y'know?
Anyway, I was contemplating leaving the theatre at one point early on because it was getting too hard to take. I'm pretty darn claustrophobic though.

Finally got around to watching Kill Bill v2. All in all, I think this movie was Uma Thurman's best performance - at least of her movies I've seen. While the second volume didn't have the hysterical-laughter-inducing fight scenes, I did enjoy how there were no actual swordfights, even with all the dialogue about the sword.
I guess my final take on the movie (vols 1 and 2) is that I liked a lot of the genre-mashing and the homage and the style, but I don't think the story was good or interesting enough to support that long a movie...or any movie, really.

I love both of them, but volume 1 much moreso. I was pretty convinced that she was going to kill the child to spite Bill, and was kind of diappointed when she didn't. It would have been a modern Medea, but I guess the audience was meant to sympathise with her too much.

I guess. I wasn't all that comfortable with her killing the only caretaker the kid had ever known and then kidnapping the girl. I think killing the child would have been interesting...since she didn't know he had the child, it wasn't like she was on a quest to reclaim the child.
