Tricksy Treats
Oct. 28th, 2003 09:14 pmGetting into the Halloween spirit, I read this really cool Harry Potter/X-Men crossover by
penknife, which you can read here. Tom Riddle meets Erik Lehnsherr, anno 1950. Shall we say neither young man wins any awards for emotional stability? Thankfully, a certain character
andrastewhite likes very much also makes an appearance...
Moreover, I went and watched Kill Bill, Vol.I. Well now, as Avon would say. The most disturbing thing about it is how entertaining all the violence is. The one thing which really threw me out of being amused by Tarentino going wild with love of B-movies again was
The sequence in which we learn that hospital employee regularily rented his comatose patients out for sex. That was horrible to me in a way all the lost limbs were not, and suddenly Uma Thurman's character ceased to be an icon and become someone vulnerable I was hurting for. I was grateful we didn't actually see any of this - the revelation was horrible enough.
Also?
rozk is right - this film is asking for very dark femme slash.
