it's been in my head for years now. ever since one of the first times i rode BART. there is this building you pass on the way to the west oakland stop from 19th street called the glove building. somehow i started thinking of it as the love building and then i imagined there must be a company that runs the building and it would of course be called the love building company. so that is my new company, LoveBuildingCompany. it is some kind of update to ClubSafeParking i suppose, but it's not a physical place or company. yet. it exists in my mind and my heart. aww. so, keep that in mind. its a meme. its meta and cyber and virtual. let it float around your brain and think about love building company. it is positive. it will bring people together eventually.
i saw kill bill vol. 2 last nite. i suppose i should have seen vol. 1 first, but i really only went cuz my friends were going and in retrospect i don't think it would have mattered.
call me crazy, but i don't care for quentin tarantino films.
his scripts feel really awkward and forced. sometimes its funny and on purpose i think, but mostly it just made me feel uncomfortable. the dialogue is just bad a lot of the time, and if it is supposed to be bad on purpose, it doesn't make it any less bad in my mind. but what bothered me most was the females. they were total male fantasies. it seems really obvious these characters were written by a dude, cuz i had trouble believing they would say and do the things they did. i felt it was a fairly misogynistic film. i know it is supposed to be kitschy and retro and all, but i guess i just have a hard time watching men oppressing women in any form. yes, i know she kills him at the end with her silly 5 finger death exploding heart trick (which, by the way, was totally braindead foreshadowing) but that didn't make up for the rest of the movie. did i ruin it for you? aw. did you really think she wouldn't? you saw the first one right? he shot her in the freakin' head.
it seems like quentin tarantino has made a career of rehashing movies that weren't that good in the first place and marketing the kitsch as something new and cool. seems to me that what is cool about watching old kung fu or russ meyer films is that they had no idea how ridiculous it was. to do it now seems socially irresponsible. and really lazy. make your own damn movie.
go rent beyond the valley of the dolls or enter the dragon
