So I've been thinking a lot about Uma Thurman's character in Kill Bill this week as I try to get through my four papers and four finals. I mean, she's pretty kick-ass. There's no use in denying that (especially when she snatches that one chick's eyeball out). AND what I especially love is that she's no Charlie's Angels. She's much better than the angels. She does what she wants while kicking major ass and without being over-sexualized. The fights aren't sexy, hair-pulling "bitch fights," but rather are all out blood and guts. Just the way I like it.
SO Uma, or Black Mumba, or Beatrix, whatever your name is, thanks for showing me that women can majorly kick ass... because I really need to do that with these finals.
