Today is Valentine’s Day.
It’s a horrible day of the year, where people are forced into romancing other unwilling participants in the hope of an evening meal at an overpriced and overbooked restaurant, an enjoyable time at a club that’s in heavy romance mode, and some late night action in bed. All the single people will be persecuted by those in relationships, egged on by “Better Knowing” elder family members to find that special someone, just so they can take their “Singleton” mental label off you.
And if you’ve tried to do something romantic for someone you love but are not dating currently, and they ditch you for someone else, you will feel bitter that you failed to score. You will feel rejected, unhappy and vengeful.
Because we know full well that watching Four Weddings and a Funeral will push you over the edge, what better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with some gratuitous killing?
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 is the Uma Thurman and Quentin Tarantino fighting epic that had to be split into 2 parts. The second isn’t that strong, but the first kicks enough ass to make you forget about Valentine’s enough that it doesn’t hurt so much any more.
The Bride (Uma) wakes up in hospital after someone tried to kill her at a wedding: the team of assassins that she used to belong to. Rational minded people would cry, try to rebuild their life and then talk about it on Montel, but The Bride doesn’t. Instead, she decides that the best course of action is to go after the people who did this.
And that’s about all the story you really need: Angry Woman Attacks Other Angry People. However, what makes it viewable is the fact that there’s swords involved. And a gang. And the 5678s. Senseless violence aplenty. And this is more than enough for you to forget about being bitter and twisted at today’s events.
