The Whole Bloody Affair

I have great news, Quentin Tarantino has announced that he will release a 4- DVD set with both volumes of Kill Bill on it, it will be called Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. I can't wait, it comes out on November 6th in region 1 (U.S. and Canada).It will have a run time of just over 4 hours (247 min.), it's going to have an hour of footage that wasn't in the U.S. theatrical release. Because of the new footage this set will have it is going to be rated NC-17. I am so glad Tarantino is releasing it; I recorded the 2 volumes when they came on TV because I didn't want to buy the DVD'ssince I knew he would release a special edition DVD eventually. And it's about time he did; there have been releases in other countries that have both volumes in one set, like in France and Japan. I wanted a DVD like this one so much I was thinking about buying the Japanese region 2 version. You can expect me to be posting count downs to the release when it gets closer.

The French 2 volume release:

The Japanese release:

Kill Bill Vol 1 Special Edition (Japanese version).

Only 131 more days!!!!!!!!!!

V for Vendetta - Part 6

I forgot to tell you in part 5, if you are confused about which characters are which or want a little more detail, wikipedia has a good article on the comic, just type "v for vendetta"

Chapter 6: The Vision:

Chapter 6 picks up where Ch. 5 left off, everyone is exiting the church, Derek and Rose (his wife) Almond are talking with Helen and Conrad Heyer (Conrad Heyer is in charge of the "eye" if you forgot, and I think this is the first time we meet Helen). Helen wants to hear Derek talk about how his investigation into V is going. From the way Helen talks to her husband, basically just saying that nobody cares what he is saying when he talks and she starts asking about the investigation into V, we learn that Helen is really just using Conrad to advance her own goals, this will become much more clear later. After they are finished talking Helen and Conrad leave, Rose and Derek are going to their car when Helen says "She's a bit hard on him, isn't she" (talking about Helen) Derek doesn't like her criticism and says " Listen, when you're half as lively and sophisticated as Helen Heyer, perhaps you can afford to talk about her. Until then I would just shut up if I were you. [He starts walking toward the car] Just shut up. That's all." This is the first real example of how abusive their relationship can be.

Bishop Lilliman is watching the people leave the church from a window in the church. In this scene wefind outthat the Bishop is a pedophile, he asks if a girls has arrived and the person he is talking to says that she has but there was a mistake and she is older than usual, Lilliman asks how old and the man says that she is 15. The girl enters the room and we see that it is Evey, wearing a ballerina dress, remember that Evey wanted to help in Chapter 5.

Then we see V in the Shadow Gallery, he is in a room full of roses, Violet Carsons. V picks a rose, smells it, then he leaves the room, remember he leaves a rose with everybody that he kills.

End of Chapter 6: The Vision

V for Vendetta- Part 5

Chapter 5 has 2 different versions, an epilogue, and then 2 more scenes.

Chapter 5: Versions

Version 1:

We see the leader, Adam Susan, riding in the back of a car; it is here where we learn the most about him. He says that he is a fascist, and he believes in strength and in unity. We also learn that he is a virgin, no big surprise there, and that there is only one thing he thinks is better than he is, Fate, version one ends with him saying "Fate.... Fate.... I love you."

End of Version 1

Version 2:

V is standing on the Old Baily (it's a court house, see picture below) and on top of it is a statue of Madame Justice; V begins having a conversation with her, switching between talking as the Justice and himself. This "conversation" ends with V calling the Justice a whore and saying that he has found a new mistress, named Madame Anarchy. V says "She has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that Justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel." V is talking to the Justice about Madame Anarchy. V leaves a heart shaped candy box in front of the statue and walks away, the box and Madame Justice Blow up; V says "The flames of freedom. How lovely. How just. Ahh, my precious anarchy... "O beauty, till now I never knew thee"".

End of Version 2

Epilogue:

Finch and Dominic stone are talking to Prothero, trying to find out what happened to him, but all he can say is still "Ma-Ma". One of them says that they should "take five" and Prothero starts saying "Five... Five... Room Five......"

End of Epilogue

V and Evey are in the Shadow Gallery, Evey sees five V's on the wall and asks what they mean, V says they stand for "Vi Veri Veniverssum Vivus Vici" (Latin) it means: By the power of truth, I , while living, have conquered the universe. Evey says that she wants to help V, and V agrees to let her.

It then switches to a church, Bishop Anthony Lilliman, is giving his sermon, and when he is done everyone exits the church.

The Old Bailey.A picture of the real Old Baily, Madame Justice is on top.

V for Vendetta - Part 4

Chapter 4: Vaudeville:

In the beginning of chapter 4 we see Prothero waking up and starting to wander around the recreation of Lark Hill Resettlement Camp, he starts yelling out for someone and he is saying that he wasn't even at Lark Hill, but then V appears. I should say that when V talks in this chapter; he is not angry, he very controlled and relatively calm. Prothero keeps denying that he was at Lark Hill, until V says "Lark Hill 1993. I was there commander Prothero" After Prothero hears this he is basically speech-less, remember when Prothero said that he had a doll collection before that will be important here, V starts leading Prothero through the camp and V says "...The main body of prisoners be gathered in the yard awaiting your inspection... you simply had to walk down from your office....", it is at this point that Prothero sees his dolls dressed in prison clothes lined up, like the prisoners were for inspection. When Prothero sees this is enraged, and then V says "Admirable concern, commander. Yet it's deuced odd, isn't it? How you can show so much concern for porcelain and plastic and show so little for flesh and blood.". V forces Prothero to keep walking through the camp and they reach the medical compound (this is where the camp's scientists would preform hormonal experiments on the prisoners), the doors in the medical compound are numbered and as they walk past the doors V says "Room 1... Room 2......" and once they reach room 5 V pauses, when this happens Prothero says "Oh, no. That was you, wasn't it? You're... You're the man... You're the man from room 5" and V says "That's right". Then V says that Prothero had another job, he was in charge of burning the dead bodies. And V takes him to the ovens that they used, inside we see that V has filled the ovens with the rest of Protero's doll collection, Prothero begs V not to burn them, V dosn't listen to his pleas and he presses the button labled "ignite". As the dolls burn they repeadly say "ma-ma".

V leaves Prothero's body out side of New Scottland Yard, Roger Dascombe and Derek Almond come and see Protero, when they see him we can see that V has painted his face white, like a doll, and all he can say is "ma-ma, ma-ma....", Protero seeing his priceless doll colllection burned has driven him incurabley insane. Since the voice of fate (Prothero) can't do the evening broadcast, they are forced to get someone else to do it and pretend that it is fate broadcasting, the people of London realize that "fate" wasn't broadcasting that evening.

End of Chapter 4: Vaudeville

Are there any questions up to this point? I am always worried that I have left a very important detail out, and everyone reading this has no idea what I am talking about.

I'm so proud of my mom

I am so proud of my mom right now, she wrote a very angry letter to PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) about an e-mail reply they wrote her. You see not too far from where we live some guy has a pet Lynx, it has a large cage and doesn't present a threat to society, the state said that if he wanted to keep it he was going to have to get it de-clawed, well he did but now the state says that it has to be put to sleep because it is a "danger to the community" or something. My moms (and I) love animals so she decided that she was going to write to PETA and tell them about what's happening. I guess that my mom didn't really realize what PETA was really about because they just said that they felt it was wrong to keep exotic animals and some stuff like that (I didn't actually read their reply), I told my mom what I knew about PETA, like how they are all hypocrites (I think I spelled that right) and after she waited a little bit she wrote back to PETA telling her that she felt that the animal shouldn't be killed and that, basically, now she really doesn't like PETA. I am so glad I got a chance to tell my mom, and her boy-friend, what PETA is really about, I used to think PETA was a good animal rights organization until I saw the "Penn and Teller: Bull Sh*t"episode about PETA. If you haven't seen this episode I highly recommend it will change your whole opinion about PETA, if you want to see it, it's on the first DVD in the second season.

Google Earth

Who here has used google earth, I just got it and it's really cool. I found my house and I started to look around Japan, very cool.

V for Vendetta Summary - Part 3

Part 3 of 11

Chapter 3: The Victims

Chapter 3 picks up where chapter 2 left off, Finch and Dominic are entering the car where Prothero was kidnapped, Finch sits down in one of the seats and behind him we see V's symbol, a circle with a V in it. They examine the bodies and Finch picks up a rose that V left on one of the seats; a Violet Carson, Finch says "I thought they'd been extinct since the war...", Then Finch and Dominic leave.

Next we see V laying an unconscious Prothero on a bed and V closes the door. V heads up a circular stair case to the room where Evey is, she has her head down and is crying, she says she was crying because she didn't know where V went and if he was going to come back, V comforts her and Evey tells him about her life and the war. She tells V about when she heard that countries around the world were getting bombed and that her father wanted to take them to live in the country, but the country wasn't a good place to go, the weather destroyed the crops and since the rest of Europe was bombed there was little food. Over the next four years things got worse, Evey's mother died in 1991 and a new government came to power, Norsefire, they started taking people to put them in "resettlement" camps, they took all the radicals, everyone who wasn't white, etc. Evey says her father was in a socialist group when he was younger and the government took him away, they made Evey work in a factory with other kids, putting matches in boxes. After Evey is finished talking she is very upset and V tries to calm her down.

Then we see Prothero waking up in his commander uniform, from when he was the commander at Lark Hill, he sits up and realizes that he is in a reproduced version of Lark Hill Resettlement Camp.

Then Finch and the leader of the country and Norsefire, Adam Susan are talking. They discuss how they feel that "codename "V" " will not be a conventional terrorist; this is about the only thing in this scene that is really important.

Finally V and Evey are in the shadow Gallery, V is changing behind something (I don't know what to call it) and Evey and V are talking, Evey says "V" is a funny thing to call a person, and she says that he is a kind person for listening to her story and she says that all this theatrical stuff is very important to him. V says the world has forgotten all the melodrama, but he is going to remind then, he steps out from behind the changing thing and is wearing a striped suit and bow tie, a hat (it looks kind of like a top hat, but shorter, again I don't know what to call it.), a different mask that looks kind of funny, and has a cane. He says "You see Evey, all the world's a stage and everything else..... is vaudeville. "

End of Chapter 3: The Victims
