I thought it was pretty amusing, but it was completely out of place and almost belonged to a completely different film.

A bit like the Mike Myers cameo in Inglorious Basterds?

It was a well written scene, it was pretty funny but it didn't belong, it was like Tarantino said 'hey i'm making a movie about westerns, Blazing Saddles is a western and it's funny maybe i need a blazing saddles moment', it's like putting the fallen madonna with the big boobies into Schindler's List, it doesn't belong.

Like the Orson Welles cameo in 'Carry On Matron'

Hold on - I'm drunk, aren't I?

Or the ludicrous animated sequence in Kill Bill...

Considering the whole movie is a homage to the Lady Snowblood manga, it is very much at home.

It is not. None of the other assassins have their origins and childhood so vividly explained in such an extended manner. It was sheer fanboy self-indulgence wank*. Very poor film-making indeed.



*Of course the whole film was that, but the animated bit took it to an offensive level of awfulness.

You take this abit to seriously, it's fun. Plain and simple. It doesn't have to have a deep meaning, and your constantly shunning of what you believe to be 'a fan wank' is frankly a little disconcerting. Of cause, you are entitled to your opinion but I just find you hate things cos' you don't get them.

Watching a film "too seriously" is a strange concept to me.

If it was meant to be fun then it failed on an even grander scale as none of it was fun except for Daryl Hannah's performance.

I very nearly walked out of the cinema when that animated rubbish turned up. So out of place and jarring, ruined the all ready clumsy pacing, and was totally unnecessary. Why explain one killer's backstory and not the others?. I was furious at the self indulgence of it.
