Music from Blow Out?... by DanielKurland	Feb 27th, 2007 08:01:42 PM
Fucking wonderful, add Morricone and "Jeepster". I forgot how much I love Tarantino's soundtracks.
How did I KNOW he'd end up using T. Rex?!?!? by LHombreSiniestro	Feb 27th, 2007 08:03:44 PM
I dunno, I just did.
Music by Lerkst	Feb 27th, 2007 08:05:30 PM
Tarantino's soundtracks are renowned, for sure. But I'm just wondering why does he need to use all retro music for it? Why can't he get current musicians to write original songs in the same vein as the one's he's using? I thought he had put his whole 'retro-70's" cool vibe behind him, but c'est la vie. After the genius of Kill Bill, I'll see anything he makes. Plus, he finally got around to casting the greatest actor in history, Kurt Russell.
Awesome.. by The Pusher	Feb 27th, 2007 08:10:39 PM
So what's the Planet Terror soundtrack gonna sound like? Is Bob Rod going to compose it himself? Because a Bob Rod score to a zombie flick would be the pinnacle of excellence.
Or by The Pusher	Feb 27th, 2007 08:11:34 PM
Or rather... awesomeness.
So... by Son of Batman	Feb 27th, 2007 08:13:38 PM
more "tense" moments with music blaring over it and then sudden silence, over and over and over again like in Kill Bill. Sweet. And by "sweet" I mean teh suck. Where's Roger Avary when you need him? Fuck.
Thats all cool, but where is POWERSTATION!!! by solartaco3	Feb 27th, 2007 08:15:39 PM
They did T-rex.
I did T-Rex... by Son of Batman	Feb 27th, 2007 08:18:13 PM
but I'd never call your mom that to her face. She's got feelings.
Orgazmo reference, Son of Batman? by CreasyBear	Feb 27th, 2007 08:37:42 PM
Or mere coincidence?
Grindhouses of the world by Amy Chasing	Feb 27th, 2007 08:40:56 PM
I used to live in Adelaide, South Australia, and I have memories going to see movies at the Regent Cinema off Rundle Mall (no longer open). I reckon cinemas 2 & 3 there sound like grindhouses - brick walls with tacky angular plastic and glass "wallpaper", narrow cinemas with seats that you'd have to grab a vinyl cushion or two from the seats next to yours so your ass wouldn't get pins & needles, and the feeling that the movie you'd end up watching could end up being something from the X-rated cinema down the street. Ah, how I hated the place back then. And how I miss it now.
There was... by jimmy rabbitte	Feb 27th, 2007 09:05:13 PM
...a cheap second run theater in my hometown that just has to be what QT is talking about. It smelled funny and the floors were always sticky from spilled soda... atleast I hope it was soda... I'm looking forward to this one, it's a sure bet I'll be picking up the soundtrack as well.
Well, now I know what my summer will sound like. by Zarles	Feb 27th, 2007 09:26:00 PM
Awesome. QT's soundtracks are always amazing, and this one looks like it will definitely follow suit. As for shitty theaters, I went to see 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' in some craphole in San Francisco, and actually got to watch some hooker beat the crap out of her john when he tried to stiff her for some money. They were sitting about two or three rows behind me, and I actually heard his nose break. No joke.
Just got off the phone with Marc Bolan by Doctor_Sin	Feb 27th, 2007 09:30:05 PM
He said for someone to dig him up so he can save rock music. "Chariot Choogle" is one of my faves. I've got all these songs, so maybe I'll just make my own st.
horse+donkey by thefoggiest	Feb 27th, 2007 09:32:31 PM
Tarantino should've put horse+donkey on the soundtrack if he wanted a true Austin flick.
"Planet Terror's" soundtrack... by Darkman	Feb 27th, 2007 09:51:03 PM
is being composed by Rodriguez himself. Given what he did on SIN CITY, I look forward to it.
Trailer music!!! by endoftheworld	Feb 27th, 2007 10:31:41 PM

April March by theredjoke	Feb 27th, 2007 11:20:53 PM
April March is awesome !! Hurray for her !!
"Sally and Jack"!?!? by mrbeaks	Feb 28th, 2007 12:54:16 AM
I don't have a track by that name on the version of the BLOW OUT soundtrack I own, but I'm guessing that's the main, tragic theme. If so, I don't know how I feel about that. Actually, I wish I didn't know prior to seeing the movie; now, I'm going to be preoccupied all throughout my first viewing. This is all about my enjoyment, by the way.
Underwhelming. by Motoko Kusanagi	Feb 28th, 2007 01:35:49 AM
Like the trailer.
What happened to John Carpenter? by Vern	Feb 28th, 2007 02:37:47 AM
Harry, buddy, you told us a year ago or so that John Carpenter was doing the score to this bitch. I have been very excited for this badass Kurt Russell Tarantino movie with John Carpenter music. Come on Harry I thought we were friends, you could at least mention "by the way, all of your dreams have been crushed, etc." instead of just pretending like it never happened. I'm still excited for the movie, it looks great, but WHERE IS OUR FUCKING JOHN CARPENTER SCORE. all capitals means this last part is important, thanks Harry.
John Carpenter... by MelvintheMopBoy	Feb 28th, 2007 02:51:23 AM
Wasn't that for PLANET TERROR? Hang on, what happened to him doing LAND OF THE DEAD? Fuck a duck!
I just got off the phone with the record store... by BannedOnTheRun	Feb 28th, 2007 03:39:58 AM
While it's fun to rag on QT, I can't argue with the man's musical tastes. He has a Christ-like power to revive songs you thought were dead and let them walk again.
I've grown to dislike QT by Kizeesh	Feb 28th, 2007 03:45:49 AM
Its terrible to say, but on the whole I've gotten bored with him. Reservoir Dogs is still a good solid film, but Pulp fiction feels gimmicky after 20 or so viewings, and Jackie Brown did NOTHING for me at all. I'd have said that it represented the side of Tarentino I didn't care for, but then I saw Kill Bill. (fun but stupid) I have some slight hope for Inglorious bastards but other than that I think his 70's kitch cinema should have stayed in the 90's.
Be nice if QT made an actual movie again... by Steve Rogers	Feb 28th, 2007 04:02:50 AM
Something other than these OTT genre throwbacks to films he loved as a kid. I mean, I enjoyed Kill Bill as much as anyone (though it was INCREDIBLY SELF-INDULGENT and would've been better as a hardcore single 2, 2.5 hr revenge movie), but seriously, Quentin - just do a proper flick. Pretty please?
F*** The Weinsteins by marcus torrance	Feb 28th, 2007 04:16:19 AM
Those bastards are gonna release DEATH PROOF and PLANET TERROR separately in non-anglosaxons countries. Sons of beaches. Just as if europeans, asians, africans and southern americans can't understand what is the concept of double features. They're gonna ruin the spectacle for all of us. FUCK THAT. How can QT et RR let this happen ? They're gonna come in Cannes, France, and let french geeks see their movies separately, probably with a 5 months delay between the two ??? Those speaking english can understand the concept but spanish-speaking/french speaking/german speaking etc can't ? Come on... STOP INSULTING US YOU FREEKING AMERICAN STUDIO EXECUTIVES CUNTS. FUCK THE INDUSTRY. FUCK EVERYONE.
Hang on by The hoff	Feb 28th, 2007 04:26:10 AM
so does that mean we're getting it released as a double feature in england? I hope and pray that we are but some how i can't believe it.
I'm shocked, totally SHOCKED... by cornponious	Feb 28th, 2007 04:50:46 AM
... by the fact that somebody actually said "fuck a duck" in a post a few posts up. I haven't heard that phrase since 1988.
DOUBLE FEATURE MY ASS by kidsondrugs	Feb 28th, 2007 05:00:29 AM
most countries outside north america will get two movies released months apart! Those fuckin movie companies never stop patronizing their audiences...HELP US STOP THIS MADNESS. Sign this petition http://www.petitiononline.com/ ghsplit/petition.html and spam the weinsteins or whoever is responsible for this! gaaaahhhh!!
KIZEESH... by Napolean Solo	Feb 28th, 2007 05:04:00 AM
Your comment is the funniest of 2007 thus far; "but Pulp fiction feels gimmicky after 20 or so viewings". 20 or so viewings? Can I take that to mean it nothing short of brilliant? Either that or you need a girlfriend... badly.
I just got off the phone with the record store... by brassai2003	Feb 28th, 2007 05:14:33 AM
Awwww....I love it when old timers chime in! Record Store! Too cute! Be sure to pick up a VHS tape for me while you're at the record store!
Kill Bill 1 was the only OST that has 100% great stuff by DerLanghaarige	Feb 28th, 2007 05:28:28 AM
I can listen to it over and over. The other Tarantino soundtracks are mixed. None of them is really bad, but for every great song you can find also at least one bad one. But really, if there is one reason to like Tarantino, then it's his taste and knowledge in music.

Grindhouse? by weebay	Feb 28th, 2007 06:12:06 AM
As someone who grew up in inner city Baltimore and used to go to these types of movies as a kid I must say that I never heard the term Grindhouse used back then. In fact until this movie came out I'd never heard the term. Perhaps it's a regional thing? I'm still looking forward to seeing this movie.
Vern, didn't you get the message your dreams were by Spandau Belly	Feb 28th, 2007 09:40:08 AM
crushed when they cast Kevin Smith in a Die Hard movie? Or when that Texas Chainsaw Remake and Premaquel turned profit? How many ways do they have to spell it for you.
BADASS! by MattyAGoGo	Feb 28th, 2007 11:55:50 AM
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! "Down In Mexico" is one of the best songs ever written by Lieber & Stoller. I can't fucking wait!
Weebay...... by Thorstrongstone	Feb 28th, 2007 12:11:39 PM
For some reason, the term "Grindhouse," never caught on in Baltimore. I mean, sure, Baltimore had its fair share of theaters showing these films, most of which are long gone or playing porn now. It is not really a regional term for a movie, but the theater that plays exploitation films. The big ones were in NYC, LA, SF.......though, they were everywhere. I think a better word for these theaters was "shit-hole."
Grindhouse = 2 movies in Europe? by Edward Brock	Feb 28th, 2007 12:21:49 PM
I'm hearing some serious rumours that Planet Terror and Death Proof are going to be release in Europe as 2 separate movies. If it's true, then it really suck hardy hard. I may consider skipping it.
OK, just read the rest of the talkback by Edward Brock	Feb 28th, 2007 12:23:46 PM
My bad.
"Grindhouse" = theaters showing "bump and grind" by Doctor_Sin	Feb 28th, 2007 12:42:17 PM
The term refers to the shitty inner-city theaters that showed EVERYTHING crappy, because they had nothing else to show. Multiple-bill b-movies and burlesque shows were the draw. I saw someone had never heard the term before and wanted to clue them in as to its etymology.
Love it.....but.... by TiNSeLToWN TeRRoR	Feb 28th, 2007 01:27:18 PM
...Damn! Jcarp was/might gonna do a sndtrk?! That would have been pure bliss. I love the music for assualt of p13. But QT knows his shit. I'll get this. TREX rules.
Fuck the Weinsteins anyway by Vern	Feb 28th, 2007 01:33:58 PM
They've been terrorizing U.S. filmgoers for years. I don't know if you guys have to deal with this shit out there, but here in the Weinsteins' own country they spend every day trying to think up ways to be a pain in the ass to movie lovers. One of their biggest passions is buying the rights to Asian films. Most of these films they never release, but if it happens to win the lottery and get a release it's under a generic title, usually dubbed, almost always half an hour shorter, sometimes with a completely different sound track, often 2-4 years after it was made. During that down time they like to send out threatening cease-and-desist letters to any stores that bring in the original versions as imports. And with all their current movies (such as Tom Yum Goong, which they call Quentin Tarantino Presents The Protector) they have an "exclusive deal" that they can only be rented by Blockbuster Video. There is no legal basis for only allowing one chain to rent a movie but until they got a court order stopping them they were planning to include a 1-800 number on all their DVDs to report if you rented it somewhere else. It's important to them that it's only available at Blockbuster because it's a shitty corporate chain that nobody likes, so they're hoping people will just get lazy and buy the movie somewhere else instead of renting it. In other words, yes they are being assholes by splitting the movie into two, but they are only trying to spread their reign of terror across the world so we can all be punished equally. They do let Tarantino do what he wants though, and have been coasting on the cred he gives them for years.
Yes, the Weinsteins are fucking horrible by Daddylonghead	Feb 28th, 2007 01:41:23 PM
they are the enemy of film-lovers everywhere. In fact, what the fuck, it's a talkback: The Weinsteins are to cinema what George Bush is to Iraqi civilians... Disgustingly wealthy, generally disgusting, indifferent, profit-driven, cynical, deceitful, murderous...
John Carpenter / Grindhouse by Vern	Feb 28th, 2007 01:42:44 PM
Isn't Rodriguez doing the music for Planet Terror though? I don't think Carpenter's doing that one either. As for this grindhouse term, I have definitely heard it for years but I think it is used more in discussions of the history of 42nd street theaters and what not than it was at the time. I could be wrong. I gotta say though, as much as I am looking forward to these movies, I already want to punch anybody who uses that word in the face. Young movie nerds already started overusing it after learning it from Tarantino when Kill Bill came out. Now we gotta put up with this asshole on all the trailers explaining to us how there were these theaters and they played movies back to back, blah blah blah. (as if back to back is a necessary part of the definition.) I think there is about a 75% chance that while waiting in line for the movie I will hear some young fucker explaining to his girlfriend what he thinks grindhouse means and I'm gonna snap and throw him through some sort of a Spiderman 3 cardboard standee or something. It could get ugly. I'm working on it but I cannot guarantee your safety, fellas, so please let's show some restraint on this word, i.e., never use it again. thanks boys.
a three-bedroom grindhouse by Spandau Belly	Feb 28th, 2007 02:22:15 PM
is a great place to raise a family. As long as it has a good grindcellar for playing grindbilliards and eating porkgrinds.
Maryland native here too... by TylerDurden3395	Feb 28th, 2007 02:43:25 PM
We didn't have grindhouses we had drive-ins. My earliest movie memory is being five years old (in '83) and seeing a double feature of Mortuary and Mausoleum. I'll never forget the sight of a young Bill Paxton impaling people with embalming needles and Bobbie Bresee's tits growing faces and eating Marjoe Gortner. I also vaguely remember seeing a triple feature of Yor, Hunter from the Future, Sword and the Sorcerer and Beastmaster and a double bill of House by the Cemetery and Seven Doors of Death there too. It closed in 85, and I didn't see another double feature at a drive-in again until they re-opened one up in '02 Delaware and it played Daredevil and X-Men 2. Recently on Halloween they played a Texas Chainsaw Massacre triple feature (TCM 1 and 2 and The Beginning), which rocked hard, but mostly they just play kid's stuff. I'm looking forward to Grindhouse (and the soundtrack too, my fiancee loves Jeepster, she plays it on her ipod obsessively) and I have my fingers crossed that there will be sequels along the way...
OFFICIAL GERMAN RELEASE DATES by only-entertainment	Feb 28th, 2007 02:43:33 PM
Here in Germany we will see Robert Rodriguez' "Grind House - Planet Terror" on April 12, 2007... We'll have to wait until August 23, 2007 to get QT's "Grind House - Death Proof" !!! WHAT THE SCHNITZEL !!! I could use some SAUERKRAUT to stay tuned... Maybe they cut all the fake trailers out, because of some symbols in "Werewolf Women of the SS"... What a KINDERGARTEN !!!
For a true Grindhouse experience by Doctor_Sin	Feb 28th, 2007 05:04:24 PM
The theater floors need to be STICKY, the seats smelly, a few sleeping winos in the aisles, some pimps and their hookers - staring each other down and yelling threats during the film, a couple old guys in raincoats whacking off to the nudity, and a couple kids smoking weed. Seeing this in a megaplex defeats the whole point.
Doctor Sin gave me an idea: by TORTURE PWN	Mar 1st, 2007 10:12:38 AM
What if a bunch of us across America dress up like pimps,hos,winos,etc. like Anti Star Wars geeks or Rocky Horror fans and scare the living shit out of the punks who have no idea what "grindhouse" means.Panhandling!Drug Overdoses!Pimp turf wars!Pissing on the floor!Hold-out Hos!All acted out for the poor unfortunate children who wish they could have been there but would have run screaming to mommy and never go to the movies again if they actually were.Sure,you'll probably get kicked out but wouldn't it be worth it to see the look of horror on the faces of this generation of candyasses?Of course this isn't recommended if your theater actually IS like that anyway.There are easier ways to commit suicide.
I hope the movies will be authentically out of focus by Daddylonghead	Mar 1st, 2007 11:02:19 AM
and screened authentically under-lit (to save money on the projection bulb) and the sound will authentically warble and authentically cut out for minutes at a time.
RE:Daddylonghead by TORTURE PWN	Mar 1st, 2007 11:42:02 AM
In the last issue of Fangoria Rodriguez talks about how (in his film,anyway) the movie will intentionally "skip a reel" where characters who weren't established as such earlier will suddenly be at the forefront after the "skip".As far as under-lighting I hope they don't since most cracker-box multiplexes do it anyway.
Does anyone know if Tarantino's still doing... by TylerDurden3395	Mar 1st, 2007 11:49:14 AM
...the fake trailer for Cowgirls Go to Sweden? When he started on Grindhouse he said he was going to direct a fake preview, but I haven't heard any news on that lately.
Wow, reality trumps me being a sarcastic asshole by Daddylonghead	Mar 1st, 2007 01:46:03 PM
I must admit that (reel skip) is pretty cool on Rodriguez' part... definitely more hardcore than just using a digital "film grain" filter, and a clever method to avoid exposition (aka boring parts).
