This popped up on my twitter feed the other day, courtesy of Mistress Kinako. Oddly enough, it put me in mind of Quentin Tarantino. He’s the master of taking an old and slightly disreputable film genre and giving it a post-modern makeover. In this case it’d be a schlocky 70’s zombie horror movie. In the Tarantino remake the only thing between civilization and the ravenous zombies are a group of highly trained Japanese schoolgirls, capable of slicing and dicing zombies in many inventive ways whilst also looking cute and keeping their uniforms clean. In this particular shot they’ve captured a zombie for study and experimentation. I’m sure that there’s absolutely no chance he’ll break free of those ropes and go marauding through the underground research lab in act two.
We just witnessed the killing of Bill (again); as broadcasted by one of the Dutch networks. Nice start for the Christmas holiday season.
Best wishes for you and your readership.
Kill Bill is one of my favorite movies of his. Definitely a prime example of post-modern cinema. Now you’ve mentioned it, I want to go watch it again!
Happy holidays and hope you have a great Christmas. Thanks for all your thoughts and comments.
