Man that match started at 6 am for me. I had to go back to sleep right after that haha
BTW Garbiñe Muguruza, who played yesterday against Serena, was born in Venezuela. Very proud that she got to the finals and did a gret job, everyone was expecting a massacre, I hate to read a venezuelan or hispanic talking s**t about someone that is somehow related to you and prasing to death the other one like f*cker,what do you have in common with Serena Williams? I mean, in any other situation Serena is one of my choices but I hated to read some of the things in Twitter yesterday
Awe your girl did great yesterday, she's young and should be very proud. that wimbledon crowd gave her the ovation she deserved at the end. I was expecting her to bagel out both sets or maybe just get one. I hadn't seen any of her other matches however. I usually root for Maria with Serena as a strong second, but with Serena winning the French Ive been pulling for her since because Id like to see a calendar grand slam in my lifetime. And since up and coming american tennis players basically suck, I have a feeling I'm going to have to hold on to Serenas wins for a long time haha. Come on US Open!
There was quite a differential in the crowd response to Federer and Djokovic. I guess it's because Federer has been around in the mainstream longer but my dad says it's because he's a good guy. Djokovic seems like a pretty great guy too. He was so gracious about his loss to Wawrinka at the last tournament.
Now back to Tarantino, as I said, I rarely think that the violence in his films is gratuitous. I think I've seen every major film he's done except Kill Bill 2 (is there a 3?) and funnily enough, Reservoir Dogs actually stands out to me as being slightly gratuitous. Django Unchained is the worst offender in that respect and subconsciously, that might one of the reasons why it's the Tarantino film I've revisited the least. The most violent scene in Pulp Fiction has to be the rape and the subsequent punishment but it's hard not to feel a certain sense of gratification in that scene. I unabashedly love everything about Inglourious Basterds. If Tarantino has developed a flair for unnecessary violence that doesn't contribute to the story, I've only started noticing very recently i.e. with his last film. Hopefully, The Hateful Eight is more purposeful in the violence aspect.
I think Novak is more liked on tour now than he used to be, but the players used to not like him. Nadal and Federer spoke early in his career about how they didnt care for him. Im not his biggest fan either but he's matured at least, not as much as I had hoped but he has. It also didnt help his image of him making the ball girl cry last week when he yelled at her. I don't care how angry you are, I don't condone yelling at the ball kids for any reason. Take your anger out on your racket or to your box, not the innocent kids that happen to be giving you your towel. But he is certainly a good tennis player. That can't be taken away from him. However, Nadal is my favorite on the mens game and this year has been breaking my heart. : ( Can we also just say, that I think Federer is a robot, some sort of AI, or alien. He never looks tired or out of breathe or barely breaks a sweat. He's not a human.
On the Tarantino front, Ive shied away from this convo due to the fact Tarantino it one of my favorite directors. I LOVE Inglorious Basterds. (btw Sur there isn't a Kill Bill 3 YET but he says Uma always calls him about it and its not off the table. it was always meant to be a trilogy). I think the Kill Bill movies are fine with violence for story, same with Inglorious and Jackie Brown, and so is Reservoir Dogs as stated already in this thread. I haven't seen Pulp Fiction in FOREVER, so I can't really comment on that. As far as the violence in Django, I mean, as far as the violence not adding to the story I do agree to an extent but i thought it was more done for the cinematography of it all. I mean, take away the context and its quite beautifully filmed and visually stunning. I think he was trying to be more visual with that movie as far as making a piece of art instead of story. One can tell he was trying to do something different. Im very excited for Hateful Eight, I feel everyone of his movies is an adventure when going into the theater. I don't really think Im getting my point across but I digress haha
But then again, I also think Saw is one of the greatest horror series of all times. But I also can't sit through Hostel *shrug*
Ironically, Im watching Alias right now, and Tarantino is in this episode haha.
