In case you didn’t know, next Thursday (December 4th), the complete, contiguous cut to Kill Bill is being released in theaters, with a new added anime sequence, about 4.5 hours of Kill Bill goodness.
Will come back to this thread with my review (we are seeing it on Saturday), but I wanted to give a heads-up for those KB/Tarantino fans who might have missed this.
Is there an intermission? I’m not sure my bladder could do that long…

I would sure hope so. I can’t imagine sitting still for that long. I really enjoy the Kill Bill movies and would very much like to see this but 4.5 hours is just too long for me.
Pretty sure there would be an intermission, but I’ve seen the movie so many times that I know where I can take a five-minute break.
This says there will be a 15 minute intermission:
As for the second change: Remember the head-on car footage that opened Vol. 2, where the Bride is monologuing directly at the camera in black and white? In the Cannes print, that sequence is missing entirely; Chapter 5 ends, there’s an intermission, and Chapter 6 picks up immediately afterward. This makes sense because Kill Bill is no longer two separate films, and thus, the black-and-white recap is no longer necessary.
