OMFG That was the most fun Ive ever had in a theater! Planet Terror was way over the top. Lots of zombies, blood, gore, babes, humor, and lots of other good stuff. It was a roller coaster ride in the mind of Robert Rodriguez and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Contrary to what people are saying about Death Proof starting off slow and blah blah blah I thought it was a nice change from the total anarchy going on in Planet Terror. The dialog in the movie is awesome and extremely important for character building. The whole first half of the film sets up the ending very well (you want to see Kurt Russel's character get whats coming to him). The ending is great and everyone in the theater was cheering. Grindhouse is by far my favorite movie of the year!

If you go in the theater with an open mind and check your over inflated expectations at the door you should leave the theater with a smile on your face.

I don't think the acting was supposed to be good.

Tarantino is a writer, if you expect his acting to great you'll be disappointed each time.

i never expect, period. im just pointing out that real actors would have a better shot at pulling off a performance in a movie where things are supposed to be over the top with cheesey acting than an amateur. tarantino's piece in Death Proof was perfect, Planet Terror had him tryin a bit too long, IMO of course right ?

Seemed like Tarantino wanted to 1up Audition's take on women empowerment. how many times did that lady try to "stick it up" kurt russels ass? At the end, with kurt whimpering crying and shit, it was like he was being raped and the women were taking the role reversal, beating the shit out of tough guy.

yeah, the girl who was on the car the entire time, zoe?
that was actually her
she's the chick who did uma thurman's stunts in the kill bill series, and tarantino cast her as herself in deathproof, thats actually her in all that shit, she did all those stunts

also i fuckin LOL'ed at one part in planet terror, early on in one of the doctor's offices there was a note on the desk it only showed for a real quick second, but the last thing on the list was 'kill bill'

all in all, it was fucking great, exactly what it was supposed to be and exactly what i was hoping for

oh and the 300 fucking blew chunks and was a huge waste of money

They had a 1 hour documentary on stunt women especially that one on TV about a week ago, can't remember what channel. She got injured at the end of one of the Kill Bills and could not work for about a year.

Cheap Tuesdays, today! 3 hours will be pushing it, I better get a seat close to the exit, that's a long time to be sitting there.

I'm still boggled about Death Proof.

Remember how Stuntman Mike said he starred in Vanishing Point and all the other movies by the director after that?

Then the girls say they were HUGE fans of Vanishing Point and the others he mentioned?

Why didn't they realize that Stuntman Mike was the actor from those movies, instead they killed him?

I still don't get it.

Posted by bas on Apr-11-2007 01:03:

They like the cars in Vanishing point, not the drivers.

Posted by Thierry on Apr-11-2007 02:49:

To add to the previous msg, he starred as the stuntman in the movie so wasn't the same actor that headlined Vanishing Point.

I just got back from Grindhouse and I have to say... WOWOWOWOWOWWOW! I knew I would love the movie, but damn, never thought I would love it that much!

I felt that Planet Terror was the better Grindhouse-type movie, but I think Death Proof was the better of the two. That could have been a real non-B movie if it wanted to be. But Planet Terror was fuckin wikkid! The fake trailers were unreal and all those little Grindhouse effects like the Restriced ratings, the upcoming attractions stuff, all of it. Great stuff by both directors. The music was perfect for the whole thing. Awesome 3 hrs spent Oh yeah, that continuous shot in Death Proof with the girls talkin in the restaurant was wikkid!

cant wait to see this movie.

Posted by tvmann on Apr-12-2007 00:11:

Liked them both, good music especially in Death Proof. Planet Terror was way more over the top. Did not see the youtube "hobo with a shotgun" trailer.

Not much of a crowd at this theatre dunno why they started it so early, more audience would be better. Pre-drink advised.
