Kill Bill Redux

I know most of you have more sense than to go see a movie at any of the theatres around Kuwait, even though some of the theatres are really nice and have state-of-the-art sound and projection, with the most comfortable chairs around. It's sad because most of the movies shown are butchered beyond recogintion by the censors, and you find yourself suppressing the urge to scream obscenities at the screen. I know my blood pressure goes up everytime I go, so I keep my visits to a minimum and only go to see "safe" movies, if at all.

But one easy way to find out how much has been hacked off a movie you're about to see - and save yourself any disappointing surprises - is to first go to the KNCC website to look up the movie's running time (length), then go to the Internet Movie Database, look up that same movie and compare running times. If the difference is more than one minute, stay at home and wait for the DVD. You may think a minute isn't much, but trust me it is..



That said, Kill Bill Vol.2 - which is showing this weekend - is originally 136 minutes long. The KNCC website says it's only 112 minutes. So that is TWENTY FOUR F$@%&#G MINUTES MISSING!!!

WHY BOTHER SHOWING IT?

The DVD is out on August 10th, so I suggest you wait..
