i finally saw kill bill - my bro was threatening to kill the plot for me - cuz i told him the whole point of that mandy moore movie was that she had cancer...hehahahaha,bwhwhahaha
anways, it was bloody but i kept watching. i dunno, i have a problem with tarantino = i'm not cool with this whole appropriation thing. like how this is getting props while the movie HERO is still not out in big theatres. how is he that much cooler because he copies Asians?
maybe it's the same argument that African Americans have with hip-hop. i have that problem with martial arts too - like that cable commercial with the Black martial artist - i was thinking why not get an Asian martial artist kicking out the dish - isn't that truer to the art? makes me real mad - just like AF (asian fetish) - i bet tarantino has asian fetish...ugh.
this is why i can't always cover Asian American stories - i'll like get offended all the time and get mad and nothing will be done :( it's like ethnic humor - it's funny when jackie chan says it, but once someone that's not azn says it, it's horrible.
then i wish all of us weren't so caught up by color. but then, maybe we'll be as evil as ward connerly. ugh.
on another note, i found something wonderful today from steph - CALCIUM INDUCED CHOCOLATE!!! they must of read women's minds :)
