Always turned off by violence, I put off watching Kill Bill until this weekend. ~that and my disorder that keeps me from watching something everyone tells me to watch~ I generally do not enjoy violent movies. It’s not a holier-than-thou thing if you watch them. Not saying they’re the decline of civilization. I’m just turned off by them.  

I always say this when I watch a Tarantino movie, but it never helps: Putting it off was a mistake.

I’m excited about this movie. It was easier to get excited about Mulholland Drive. It was complex and interesting without being ~as~ violent. But still, there’s tons to say about Kill Bill. ~down to and including the fact that this is at least twice that uma thurman has drawn a square in the air for tarantino~

But here’s one of the ~easy~ thoughts I had while I was watching Vol. 1 several times this weekend:

The management style depicted in the following scene isn’t as ridiculous as it looks. It happens all the time. People don’t literally get their heads chopped off. ~that’s my way of warning you that they do in this video. most violent. click at your own risk and all that. oh yeah, there are very very bad words, too~ As Tarantino says, “This is definitely not taking place on planet Earth.”

But in too many workplaces, the tactic is the same.  This clip illustrates with force why teachers ~and others~ don’t speak up:

Too many teachers feel like they’re up against a myriad of insurmountable things. The crazy bitch who can collect your fucking head is one of them.
