Kill Bill Vol 2 = audacity

After a long day of The Roundtable and endless meetings; my friend Dawn and I went to see Kill Bill Vol 2. I never saw the first Kill Bill, but I really enjoyed the second one. I thought Daryl Hannah and Uma Thurman were superb. It's not often that I'll leave a movie theater feeling like an empowered, audacious and ass-kickin woman. Usually I leave feeling either overly-sensitive, vulnerable, cheap, giddy or moved. Contrary to expectations, I personally enjoy Quentin Tarantino's portrayal of women, much more so than Nora Ephron's. Anyway, his writing, canny sense of humor and rich soundtrack intensified and electrified yet another Tarrantino project.

On my way home, I bumped into Jack Turner from United Artists on the street and kudos to him...he was so relaxed and stress-free. Hats off to Jack...it's the night following UA's big premiere/ extravaganza at Tribeca, still 4 days to go of this fest and only 6 until Cannes.

What they've been saying is true: this is the best blog I've ever read. It's wonderful how there's a blend of industry happenings but also your day-to-day life. I think a lot of people see themselves in your postings. It certainly is refreshing compared to the usual run of the mill hard news. It's almost like watching a reality show vibe but then I don't watch them so I don't know. There's also a Charlie Kaufman-like tone in the way you write. Very insightful, very warm, and very funny. I feel like I know you!
