Film: Kill Bill vol. 2

[West End cinema, Boston]

So, the second part of Tarantino's latest film. It's the same as Vol. 1 in many ways. At times a work of genius, at times it drags. Almost always violent, frequently funny, occasionally touching.

Here's a piece of trivia about the film: because the opening credits don't have the full title, the BBFC certificate carries the abbreviated name Vol. 2. Yes, I should get out more.

I saw the film in Boston's West End cinema, an independently-owned multiplex. The only other independent multiplex I've been to is Oxford's Ozone. Both cinemas were spacious, comfortable and clean. If the big chains followed the cinema's lead, I might even have to retract my anti-multiplex rant.

You learn a lot about the today's walk by understanding that the most interesting thing I found to take a photograph of is something I've been carrying with me on just about every walk - my GPS receiver.

Today was the day I finally reached Fosdyke Bridge - the third of the circular walks that replaced what would have been an eighteen mile trek from Sutton Bridge.
