JACK RABBIT SLIM'S LIVES: Earlier

JACK RABBIT SLIM'S LIVES: Earlier this evening, I went to the local Johnny Rocket's to pick up a bite to eat, when I saw something quite interesting: In a sight that was a bit incongruous in the '50s-themed diner, a quartet of teenagers was sitting in one of the booths, and on the counter next to one of the mini-jukeboxes one of them had placed a laptop. And on that laptop played a complete, flawless, but obviously downloaded copy of "Kill Bill: Volume 1." Specifically, the scene in which Lucy Liu beheads the guy at the conference table.
Now perhaps it's fitting that, in a homage to the '50s diner scene in "Pulp Fiction," these kids would be enjoying a Quentin Tarantino movie at Johnny Rocket's. But regardless, I don't know which was the bigger ethical faux pas- illegal piracy of the movie, or the decision to watch it while out to dinner at a restaurant.
