Well, if you don't like blood, "Kill Bill" is not for you.  They are 
sliding around on it/wading through it in the big showdown scene.  
Movies like that don't bother me that much because they are so 
implausible.  I confess to actually liking the "Die Hard" movies.  
But I was *aghast* to hear a child's voice in the theater at 
the "Kill Bill" showing--definitely *not* a kid's movie, IMHO.

Speaking of creepy-crawlies, the ultimate example of the power of 
suggestion is when you get the note home from your child's school 
stating that there is a case of *head lice* in the class.  
ARRRRGHH!!!   We have never (*frantically* knocking wood) yet had 
actual head lice in our family, but *invariably* my head starts 
itching and itching as soon as I see that note.
