Is that a good or bad "Oh. My. God."?

obviously good

i heard this movie was going to be great. how was it? will uma win academy award for this one?

I get all tingly whenever I think about the movie. Adrenaline courses through my veins. I hear the score pounding through my head and see Uma Thurman running around being a badass. Does that answer your question?

An Oscar? Probably not. It was an incredible performance, there's no doubt about that, but the movie is very much about style over substance, and therefore the characters tend to be a little flat. The Academy probably won't pay much attention.

I've heard alot about the red dots, did they piss you off or where they unnoticeable?

You mean the dots that are supposed to uniquely identify prints when they're copied digitally? Nope, never saw 'em. Not even in the stunningly beautiful final battle in the snowy garden with lots of white white snow.

Kill Bill...

ACK

Forum....

Red dots? I ain't hearda no red dots... Is this a new movie industry conspiracy to keep us from stealing copyrighted material?

Movie distributors have been marking films with "cap codes" for decades. Cap codes are tiny reddish "watermarks" that uniquely identify individual copies of a film, so that, for example, if a film is reported as "stolen" and then shows up on the black market, the distributor can trace it back to the theatre responsible. Until the digital age, this also helped prevent piracy to a certain extent. The cap codes show up only for a certain number of frames and only in certain scenes, and they're small enough that viewers rarely notice them.

The problem is, these tiny dots that appear only for a few frames get completely mangled by digital compression. The movie industry, in an attempt to curb digital piracy, has started placing much larger, more noticeable cap codes in certain films, so that they'll show up in digitally-compressed copies. Behind Enemy Lines, Underworld, and, rumor has it, Kill Bill (among other recent movies) contain these larger cap codes. Sometimes they're noticeable, sometimes they aren't. Most people apparently don't see them, but some do.

In any case, I saw two movies last weekend and didn't notice anything in either of them, so either the copies of the films at my theatre weren't targeted for the new cap codes or they were so unnoticable that I didn't see them.

Placing them away from the center of action would be quite effective in making them visible with freeze-frame, yet invisible to the majority of viewers. Neat concept - wonder how that'll translate to software...

I didn't like Kill Bill at all. But then agian I'm not into anime or forien ninja flicks. I don't think I was the target audience. I didn't notice any of the red blobs either.

I'm not sure what the big deal is regarding these codes. I often notice the 'cigarette burns' in the top right corner of films, indicating that the reel is about to end and to signal the projectionist to start the next one. (As explained in Fight Club) In low budget DVD's, sometimes the burns are still there, even though they could be cleaned up digitally in no time. It's a bit distracting, but not nearly as much as the moron two seats to the left getting a cell phone call, and *answering the call and beginning to talk*! During most movies, I would be annoyed. During Kill Bill, the bastard must be dealt with harshly. Preferabley, with japanese steel.

At 21:15 to night i will be sitting in BioCity Herning ready to get "all tingly" :o)

*whoaw*
That was a great way to spend a evening!
I just wonder... was God supposed to be the kid who litteraly got his ass whiped... that must have 'hurt', or is Bill God, and will therefore not get 'hurt' ultimo Vol. 2 ;-)

I would love to se a Directors Cut of this movie - there must be lots of great sceenes left out :o)

I want Him to know I know He Know !

I'm trying to find a the soundtrack mp3 files to rip - anyone know where I can get hold of them?
