Early review of Kill Bill: The Whole Damn Story from Cannes. You know I'll be seeing this when it comes out, even if I didn't want to (which I do).

Weird little changes. No Klingon proverb? Wha? And the House of Blue Leaves sequence is now in color (which I one point I predicted would happen on a DVD release eventually, but later recanted, and now I don't believe it).

And no "Does she know...that her baby is still alive" cliffhanger, which is also surprising, though I agree that the movie works much better that way.

And just for the tie-in with the nerdy He-Man post below:

Most crucially, the full KB places proper emphasis on the controversial Superman speech at the end of Volume Two. As well as being a wry joke at his own expense (The Bride is forced to listen to Bill’s rambling theory while waiting for his truth serum to hit), it perfectly crystallises the key theme of the movie. Here, Tarantino pulls the rug, revealing that the woman we feel so much empathy for is nothing but a stone-cold killer, passing for human in the same way Superman poses as Clark Kent. The Bride is Bill’s equal and much more, which is why only one can survive, because the other can’t be trusted.
