KILL BILL
So the weekend goes not much happening. Well a few updates. Freaky Tiki didnt make the cut, the sound just isnt there yet so no go on Freaky Tiki, one of two cd's I'll be cranking out this month. Barry Deep will take the place of Freaky Tiki.
What's all that mean? Basically if yer on the list to get a cd from me, you'll get one, if yer not on the list you wont. Whats on the cd? Music. Why? Cause. Every month I create up to 3 cd's of various arrangements for people who are on the list. Want on the list? Post a comment and I'll put ya there. Pretty simply really. The flavor of the flooz lately is lounge tunages with a deep house tone. Good stuff. So again look for Barry Deep coming to a flooz mailer near you!
In other news, Dave and I shot two more episodes of Talkin Crap yesterday. Our greenscreen while being all green, just needs better lighting. I'm looking into a nice professional lightning kit here soon for dual purpose work/fun. Until then our keys just arent perfect.
Anyways the episode to watch is KILL BILL, we caught it on the big screen yesterday and it was a fest of blood. Good flick though, not so good it'd take the top spot however. Still good flick, we especially like GOGO, the evil japanese school girl. The film itself is a mix of titles, anime and typical pulpfiction action. Lots of bodies, basically if you know what influnces a QT fan than it will be in there, John Woo, Battle Royale, Anime, mixed up time slates, going foward and then backward, Boogie Nights and more. Its all in there. And its worth seeing, I'll probably see it again this week just for GOGO heh. Acting wise its not much really, not alot of acting happening. I love the texas sherifs, classic men made for the screen. I disliked lucy lu, never liked her. Not much of the cast really stands out as "ya oh baby ya.. " aside from GOGO and her spinning ball n chain of death.
In other flooz news ive caught some of the anime out there reccently. Witch Hunter Robin is a new horror gone CSI theme'd series from Bandai. Animation wise its nice though not as fluid as I'd like to see. Character designs are very 70's paris styled gals and dark gothic boys and of course the token 90's hacker kid. So far so good the story is about a group of agents, the Witch Hunters sent out to rid the world of Witches. Witches it seems have started mixing tech with witchcraft posing problems for the world etc.. yadda yadda. Anyways, overall not bad.
Another new anime i've seen reccently is the new Ninja Scroll series. Ninja Scroll was originally a one off 75min feature that has called "the"ninja film for animated kids. Its good, plenty of action, superior animation and more. The series has alot to live up to if its gonna carry the Ninja Scroll name, however its about so so and not that incredible as the movie. New story, lots of different baddies, which is good, but lacks color depth at times. Sometimes i just feel like the animation budget got chopped up somewhere in there, the quality and feel, and story just isnt amazing enough.
The flooz will be busy most of the week but i'm sure dave will post some updates for ya'll as well. Ya know talkin about his swing and stuff.

YOu know I may have to disagree with some of your Talk'n Crap Kill Bill Vol 1 Review! There was so many references to classic kung-fu films and tribues to so many great movies that I think you totally miss if you haven't seen them. The sword work was fantastic in the movie, and while I didn't like how cold Lucy Lu was in Ballistic, I thought that demenor fit perfectly in Kill Bill Vol 1. The Fight scenes were great, they were done up in true Woo-ping style and were tremendously complex. No 3 move cut to another camera angle to hide the cut because the actor can't remember or is incapable of an extended sequence. There were full out 10-15 move sequences with no breaks in the action, made the sceens feel much more real. The 120PSI Blood presure is strait out of the baby carriage movies! And the music, it totally set the mood for every scene. In the end I felt like I was playing though a game of NOLF, or watching a classic 60's-70's Kung-Fu Flick on the big screen. I think it's something that even Bruce Lee would have been proude of! And btw did you notice that the yellow jump suit which Thurman was wearing in the House of Blue Leaves was the same as Lee wore in Game of Death? And you already touched on it but Sony Chiba did a fantastic job with his part as well as the massive work he had to do training thurman and the rest in Kenjutsu. Enough rambling.. I need to go see the film again I think. And ya Go-Go was rememberable...

Do give books - religious or otherwise - for Christmas. They're never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal.
