Terintino and Rodrequez are so badly plugging "Grindhouse" on the Tyra Banks show. With a horror show beginning to boot. The movie looks interesting, but the Tyra plug, uhg! It's starting to make me think less of the movie!
Although, it's going to be an instant cult classic.
DON'T DON'T DON'T!!!!!!!!! God these movies were great. The first one wasn't realistic at all so it was much easier to watch than I thought it would be. The second one was funny as hell and the ending was probably the best ending I've ever seen. The girl eye candy was nice and the "missing reel" bit they kept doing was hilarious.
The preview for Machete was especially great for me because I live in El Paso so I was watching it in a movie theater chock full of Mexicans.
hahaha this movie was great. The fake trailers were very entertaining. Also this movie is hilarious! I missed the damn second part though! I'm pissed!!!! I saw the first death in Death Proof, but had to go afterwards. Jeez I'm mad now that I hear the ending is great!
Grindhouse...kicked so much ass!! Planet Terror was definitely my fav. both of them were hilarious. I've never been to a movie before that was completely FULL up with people laughing, clapping, and cheering. I was sitting there the whole time with a huge grin on my face.. these movies rocked my socks. and i so wish machete was a real movie.
there was supposed to be a preview for the rob zombie halloween movie. i was so mad when it didn't show up. anyone else see it?
They made a fake preview that was attributed to Rob Zombie. I think it was the one with werewolf girls of the SS. Not 100% on it though. I didn't see the Halloween one, although they did have a funny Thanksgiving trailer.

This movie is 3 hours and 11 minutes without previews.
basically this is alot of sit time (I knew this going in)... and since I never really do alot of 3 plus hour movies, I forgot how much I hate it.
OT, take lots of food and beer...
Machete ...loved that little part
YOU REALLY GOTTA LOVE QT's stuff to enjoy this movie
Death Proof: (2nd movie) It takes tooooooo long Wayyyy toooo long to get through all that yapping. Some of it wasn't even really great dialoge... Seriously, this was a huge problem for me...especially 2 and a half hours into the movie.
but other than that, I had fun with the corniness of the movie... and I liked the soundtrack...
music trivia especially the bit about Pete Townsend..(anyone know if that shits true) is that a real group? whats that group's name again?
This movie really made Rose Mcgowen a friggen a sex kitten...me likey
Planet terror: I busted up alot through that movie... LOVED the BBQ recipe bit ... classic
anyway... here's some the Vanishing Point Chase and Finale thats was referenced alot ....
So, I've heard nothing but positive things about this flick - much like 'Kill Bill' I think I am the core audience. So... why the Hell did this movie tank? 'Cause it was Easter? 'Cause it was 3 hours long? It seems to me that '300' would have garned the same fanbase, no?
With ridiculously stupid family crap like that Ice Cube movie (you have OFFICIALLY lost all your rap street cred, dude), I have a bad feeling that quality R-rated movies are gonna go the way of the evening newspaper.
Ugh, I mean, I don't have kids (thank God), but I cannot remember the last 'kids' movie my parents were forced to watch with me in the theater - does 'Star Wars' count? They just dropped me off, and picked me up 2 hours. OK, maybe that's bad parenting, but if the entire US starts doing that, we'll evertually start getting more 'Grindhouses' and less 'Are We Done Yet?'s
It was over the top violent, very niche, no real A listers (at least in big roles,) no one is going to take their kids, most won't bother finding a sitter to go, definately not a date movie, its over 3 hours, and once you're past all that, you have to find someone who would get a kick out of paying to see what is intentionally a tongue in cheek "bad movie." In fact, the only reason that anyone went to see it at all is because it has the name Tarantino on it.
Face it, its a helluva hard sell. Did about what I would expect it to.
There were waay too many fricken kids at the show I went to. And not teenagers; I'm talking 4-7 year olds. I don't understand because online it said there would be I.D. requirements and no children under 13 admitted but I saw at least 10 little bitty kids. There wasn't any crying but I can't believe that their little minds aren't at least a tiny bit warped from the crash scene.
I didn't really think this one was that great. Aside from the turkey sodomy and the cheerleader landing on the knife(ouch) I don't really get why everyone likes it so much.
Are you guys kidding? Planet terror was awesome! Over the top 70's style zombie movie with cool guns and such, not to mention hilarious. Death proof, was nothing! Tarantino started to do this cool old missing movie reel gimmicky horror film, but he dropped that style really quick into the movie to bring in shitty 45 minute long dialogue with annoying characters.
semi spoiler
The villian in that changed character WAY too easily just to have Tarantino's sick fetish of chicks killing people.
end spoiler
In short, death proof PISSED ME OFF! While I loved every minute of planet terror and the fake previews.
