Hey there. I love me some samurai films. As many of you know, I love the art of the samurai (I even have my own sword) and just can't get enough of these bad ass shows like Afro Samurai and Rurouni Kenshin. There also have been some great samurai films, such as The Last Samurai (not a Tom Cruise fan but this movie is pretty bad ass) and Kill Bill. I also thought it was great that a pioneer of great Japanese samurai films, Sonny Chiba, even made an appearance in Kill Bill.
Kill Bill is a great story. My wife and I even dressed up as Beatrix and a Crazy 8 samurai for Halloween one year. Tarantino's version of "The Bride" had to span 2 whole films. I'm not complaining, since I thought it was great, but unless you got nothing to do during a Saturday afternoon, it's hard to find the time to sit on your couch and watch 4 hours of samurai action. Fear not, my friends! These people decided to do something about it! While sitting around one afternoon, with nothing better to do, they found a way to cut down those 4 hours to a mere minute! Don't believe me? Check it out!
Man, that was great! lol They even did it in chronological order and not the way portrayed in the film! I guess when you got a minute, you can't be jumping back and forth. The best part? The slo-mo action when Kiddo slices O-Ren Ishii. Classic! Later!
awesome, i'm really into Samurais as well. I have a katana on my wall, its pretty sharp. My uncle got me a set strait from Japan. Those are insanely sharp lol
ReplyDeletemy g/f didn't like kill bill, I sure as hell did! I even have a huge kill bill poster. I'll take a pic and show it to ya.
That was cool! It captured the essence of the story even if it was just 1 minute long.
ReplyDeleteThat was really funny. You captured it all in one minute. However, I did miss Uma.
ReplyDeleteI am just making the rounds to SlogBite member sites and using SlogBite’s new game to make the site choices for me, and this time your site was chosen. If you haven’t tried it you really should give it whirl. http://www.slogbite.com/particpant-features/slog-machine
BTW, I am in the process of making the SlogBite categories even more granular. I want to enable SB members to create an accurate profile of their site using the SB categories to show off their best work. Therefore, if you have the time, please let me know what additional categories you would join if I created them. You can, and should get very specific. Take a look at SB's category list and leave a comment as to what else you would like to see. http://www.slogbite.com/joining-slogbite/category-list
Also, you really need to update your SB badge.
Fantastic! While watching those bad ass shows, however, I trust you've enjoyed the delights of such greats as "Blackbelt Jones" and "The Flying Guillotine."
ReplyDeleteCan't get better than those...
lol! Pretty good!
ReplyDeleteA hint for your project wonderful ads btw. You'll get a lot more bids if you leave the minimum bid at nothing. Take it from one who's been there. ;)
