What did you think of Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2?

Good things on the cheap that work are more my thing...and I get more practical as I get older. Or maybe just cheaper.<br /><br />I've always been too chicken to watch any of Quentin. But I must say, him showing up as a mentor on American Idol? That was truly scary.Karen MEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834425321020756655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-76528243490855767912009-05-18T19:33:00.000-04:002009-05-18T19:33:00.000-04:00Really great post.

He just made them cool and fun, but I also find his tend to at least have a focus for the violence involved. I feel like he has run his course, but still, I think he has been a different thing from the general horror genre. <br /><br />Martha, though? Terrifying to someone like me who lives among boxes, power tools, and plastic children's toys.kittenpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215443551546036909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-33632171939457461012009-05-15T23:08:00.000-04:002009-05-15T23:08:00.000-04:00I really wish I had a sophisticated and funny comm...I really wish I had a sophisticated and funny comment to leave you, but I don't.

I'm totally with you on Martha. I still do enjoy her ideas now and then (stumbling across links on the web) but I want my house to be comfortable, not a showcase. Fortunately, with two small children, it's easy to never have it too perfect. *giggle*Fawnhttp://fawnahareo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-88471066160348591022009-05-15T21:17:00.000-04:002009-05-15T21:17:00.000-04:00Martha Stewart has always scared me more than a li...Martha Stewart has always scared me more than a little, and I've never been able to stomach cinematic violence. This led to me feeling rather out-of-touch in my younger days. But now, thanks to you, I feel ever so ahead of the curve. Thanks a million! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
