Street Cinema

📓 Thursday — December 4, 2025 — 8:51 p.m.

Today was day two of my non-negotiables — back in the gym after that insane cough kept me out for a week.

Body feels good. Movement feels good. I woke up with dry, irritated eyes, like cool air was slicing across my eyeballs. But even with the irritation, I felt well this morning. Working out does that — it cleans the mind.

Did a couple deliveries, ran errands, and finally got home.

Turned on the TV, blinked ten slow times like a grown man trying to reset a camera lens, stared away for a moment, and set my Wiz bulb to 40% Warm.

My eyesight eased immediately. Little things like that matter more than I ever realized.

And then —

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair popped up on YouTube.

A guy said it’s getting a select theatrical run, the full spliced-together version Tarantino originally intended.

Uncut.

Intermission and everything.

Extra footage.

I didn’t hesitate.

I got excited like a kid looking at a forbidden movie poster, and I bought the ticket.

Tomorrow, I’ll finally see it the way it was meant to be seen.
