Oh man, yesterday's review was some utter bullshit. How in the hell did I came up with such ridiculous comparisons & conclusion x] But forget it, today's will be worse. Cause it's Black Lagoon, sunshine. Drink up the booze, load up your guns. You ain't gonna die today.

If you'd like to see how the term trigger-happy looks like, this clip is just the thing to watch. Revy's smile is one of a kind, especially while shooting lead all around the place. You start to wonder if it is just so much fun? Wait, actually something came to my mind now, but even I don't dare to make such a comparison... However, it's all because Black Lagoon stinks of Tarantino all over. It's a stink of blood and irony. Death is a joke, so chill out. You don't wanna die today anyway.

The trick behind this AMV is that every piece it consists of is of the same, hardcore attitude. The music theme rocks hard, the choice of scenes is explosive, and the editing effects applied are vulgar, but appealing. No compromises. And it does not slow down from the start until the end. Which, by the way, has another nice trick of a dying eye - cool idea.

I don't know why, but this offensive attitude always looks good on the screen. Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Fight Club etc. all don't give a damn about the viewer, and don't try to please him with what he thinks would please him. Instead, they hit him hard with a hammer. 'Don't fcuk with us!' - that's their message. Surprisingly the viewer realizes it's what pleased him the most. Thus I say - stop giving people what they claim they need. Web 2.0, peoples' choice? Bullshit. That was called communism and luckily died back in the days. Give them what you know they need, it will be soon after they realize that was what they wanted.

Black Lagoon is just such a series, where you would like the plot to go differently, and at first hate the producers for not making it you way. But afterwards you just can't imagine how it could be different and better. It's perfect the way it is. This AMV continues that trend, and on top of it, takes what's the best of both seasons. I just so love it. But enough of this crap, go watch it. This is what you want. This is what you need. I know that. I just do.
