if all the broads die at the end in terrible, terrible ways. I hated all those bitches. If Russel wins, I'm in.
Had nothing but raves in the uk..... by wildphantom07	Sep 7th, 2007 02:06:48 PM
Where us fans have yet to even see the original Grindhouse cut! Damn you Weinsteins!!! I have the region 1 Death Proof coming but will wait until i've seen it at the flicks before opening. September 21st we get it in theatres. Then Planet Terror on.....wait for it....NOVEMBER 5TH! Takes the piss.
I love QT, but this movie sucked... by Cruel_Kingdom	Sep 7th, 2007 02:08:08 PM
long-winded BORING dialogue.
Yeah! I'll see it! ..Oh wait, I thought you said "cut" by LaneMyersClassic	Sep 7th, 2007 02:11:18 PM
23 minutes. Nevermind.
I'd have liked this better without all the damn driving by Garbageman33	Sep 7th, 2007 02:13:58 PM
It really got in the way of that scintillating dialogue.
ZZZZZZZZZZZ by Nucking Futs	Sep 7th, 2007 02:29:10 PM
If I ever have trouble sleeping at night, I'll just pop in the DVD of Death Proof
kurt was a fucking pussy. he by robo6	Sep 7th, 2007 02:31:13 PM
kurt was a fucking pussy. he got shot and started crying. he should have been smashed and bashed but still hauling ass. He was a stuntman for christ sakes! He should have met his match with the stuntchicks and gone blow for blow with them.... but noooo. he got shot and ran away! WTF ever. Planet Terror was fucking bad ass. AND a big FUCK YOU for not releasing them together. I saw it opening day. I supported that shit. no hook-ups for me though. bullshit.
Sorry, I will be washing my hair that night. by Diagnostic	Sep 7th, 2007 02:39:36 PM
So no.
Animalstructure, the answer to your question IS .... by NoDiggity	Sep 7th, 2007 02:44:56 PM
yes.
Of course Kurt Russell was a pussy... by ZoeFan	Sep 7th, 2007 02:48:06 PM
That was the point. It was meant to be humorous, but it went over most of the viewer's heads.
But you lose that Planet Terror "in joke", right? by tonagan	Sep 7th, 2007 02:51:19 PM
Grindhouse viewers know what I'm talking about. I won't spoil it for anyone else, but I thought it was a high point of Death Proof.
No! I don't want to watch Death Proof! Ever again! by Traumnovelle	Sep 7th, 2007 02:55:09 PM
Good lord that shit sucked. I went in to the theater totally under the impression that Robert Rodriguez was going to go fizzle, and Tarantino was going to REALLY show me something. As it turned out, Planet Terror is the mofuckin TRUTH, and Death Proof was EXCRUCIATING. If the three-hour long diner conversation scene wasn't bad enough, the scene where Eli Roth discusses the order of drinks you need to give a girl to get her to "put out" puts Death Proof up there with some of my most hated movies of all time. God that's such stupid frat boy douchebag shit. I want to kick Eli Roth's teeth down his throat. And Tarantino needs to get off that whole "femme fatale" bullshit he just can't seem to let go of. It sucks. And usually I LIKE Tarantino. I can't stand him as a PERSON, but I usually really enjoy his movies. Which normally wouldn't matter, but when he throws himself into roles in both HIS movies and his BUDDIES movies, I tend to get really, really irate. Like when he kept popping up in various places in Grindhouse, the crowd would start whooping and hollering and carrying on, I was booing and hissing and yelling from the back, with my six-pack of tallcans, howling and cursing. THAT'S the real Grindhouse experience. Fuck Death Proof.
When Tarantino went on every talk show imaginable by skimn	Sep 7th, 2007 03:05:08 PM
and touted how the stunt driving will be the BEST, better than Bullitt and Vanishing Point and how fast the stunt car was traveling and how much faster the camera car had to travel and blah diddy blah blah blah..And it was so much Meh. I saw French Connection again after many, many years last weekend, and that movie holds up so well dramatically, thematically and especially the chase scene holds up real well. Well at least Tarantino didn't use CG.
This would be like Spielberg releasing by Samuel Fulmer	Sep 7th, 2007 03:07:02 PM
a longer version of his "Kick the Can" segment of Twilight Zone the Movie. That's probably the worst thing he ever directed, and I'd have to say that Death Proof is definitly Tarantino's worst. Death Proof was barely watchable as part of Grindhouse. I don't think I'd be able to sit through it as a two hour feature.
Loving Planet Terror and hating Death Proof by ZoeFan	Sep 7th, 2007 03:09:12 PM
Just proves that you need instant gradification, otherwise you cry like little babies. There's a point to all that dialog in Death Proof. It leads you to the ultimate payoff that is the last 15 minutes of the film. It's one thing to say you like one film more than the other. But to say a movie is shit and then not give any quantitive reasons, just makes you a whinny little baby with an argument that holds no water.
extra 23 minutes... by rxse7en	Sep 7th, 2007 03:12:18 PM
of diner talk scene.
I was about to write something... by Francis Begbie	Sep 7th, 2007 03:13:47 PM
on the talkback for the new trailer for "There Will Be Blood" and the article disappeared!
Seeing it Sunday night by kwisatzhaderach	Sep 7th, 2007 03:15:33 PM
followed by a live satellite Q&A with Tarantino. Sweet.
If the the overabundance of Dialogue by Samuel Fulmer	Sep 7th, 2007 03:23:47 PM
in Death Proof was in place for the payoff in the last 15 minutes, it would have been better had the dialogue scenes been condensed. They went from being mildy entertaing to tedious very quickly. If I want long dialogue scenes, I want interesing characters who say interesting things. You get the point four minutes into the scene, but then it just goes on too long. Kind of like a bad SNL sketch that just kind of goes on and on.
ZoeFan, you're obviously biased. by tonagan	Sep 7th, 2007 03:25:12 PM
It's like someone named FaheyFan touting the superiority of Planet Terror, or someone named RoseFan arguing that both were equally good. (I'm just kidding around.)
Any word on the new Kill Bill DVD? by Samuel Fulmer	Sep 7th, 2007 03:26:12 PM
Does anyone know what's going to be on it?
Zoefan by skimn	Sep 7th, 2007 03:29:51 PM
There's a reason for all the grumbling. The movie was called Grindhouse..okay? GRINDHOUSE..not Hour And 15 Minutes Of Introspective Drunk Chick Navel Gazing Followed By Backwoods Car Chase..okay? Tarantino promised and didn't deliver.
Traumnovelle by pearboy	Sep 7th, 2007 03:31:41 PM
Agreed! Fucking sick of these fratboys... or more like nerds who wanted to be fratboys but just didnt cut it, now they have enough money to create their own gorno fraternity. These guys are a bunch of overrated douchebags. I'm so glad this gorno grindhouse crap is ending up in the used bins where it belongs. Of course we have Harry to thank for helping to inspire Hostel... at least according to what he claims. You want real storytelling and gore that actually helps tell the story stick to DelToro. Now THAT is a director who deserves accolades and my hard earned money.
Hey..."Zoefan"...pfff... by Traumnovelle	Sep 7th, 2007 03:47:56 PM
No bias there, I can see. Anyway, hey, go fuck yourself. A movie touting the "Grindhouse" experience of old run-down theaters playing gritty, fun, gory madcap flicks in no WAY needs anything OTHER than instant gratification. I don't WANT cinema, I want a fucking MOVIE. Just like Planet Terror was. Stupid and bloody and fast-moving. Don't give me TIME to think about how ridiculous it is. And having said all that, Death Proof still sucks. Too much overly-wordy dialogue, the pacing felt off, grating actresses, Kurt Russel not used to his full potential, Quentin Tarantino cameo, hatred. There are my "quantitive reasons" (oooh college boy), now I hope I'm not being a "whinny" baby. Douche. And yea, Pearboy, word up to Guillermo. Thats my ace.
Most of you are on the mark here...................... by crackerfarmboy	Sep 7th, 2007 03:52:31 PM
I love Tarantino but Death Proof was awful. Man how boring were half of those scenes? Painful. The worst part was how brutally annoying the female leads were in the second half of the film. Zoefan, please get off of your high horse and ackknowledge that it was weak. I really hope he doesn't shit the bed with Inglorious Bastards. I also hope that the new Kill Bill cut comes out sooner than later.
Loved deathproof, only problem was by Evil Hobbit	Sep 7th, 2007 04:11:32 PM
That the second bunch of girls was a lot less interesting to watch, they had less chemistry. That made the (brilliantly staged) table scene a bit to long. But the beauty of it is that it has to be intentional. It feels and plays out like one of those bad and semi-unintentional plotdevices underground directors would make to get away with a crazy mid-act climax. Then followed by an unofficial sequel in the same movie to justify an insanely awesome climatic action scene that was probably served as the high concept and the salespitch. And indeed, the climatic chase scene is amazing. Boy did it had one of the wickedest car stunts ever, with Bell on top of real cars driving and crashing into each-other. Absolutely thrilling. No, to me, deathproof is a masterpiece. Specially cause we got to see that horny as hell lapdance in the Dutch release over here in the Netherlands. ^^
Damn! by trashcanman345	Sep 7th, 2007 04:22:34 PM
I know we're all a bunch of nerds here, but I had no idea "Death Proof" flew that far over that many people's heads! Granted it was closer to the arthouse than the grindhouse in many ways, but the old drive-in homages were plentiful and, damn it, those driving sequences were AMAZING! Still, the guy who said he went in wanting a MOVIE and not just a film did had a point. But those of you who are just bitching about how boring it was and how much it sucked seriously need some major cinematic education that goes beyond internet trolling.

No Boobs - 'nuff said. by LaneMyersClassic	Sep 7th, 2007 04:39:04 PM
I'm not even a boob man myself, but if you are going to make a boring movie with generic actresses, AT LEAST show some gratuitous nudity. THAT IS A BASIC FORMULA POINT FOR THESE MOVIES. Let's see, shitty dialogue: check, lack of plot: check, boring scenes: check, nudity: NO CHECK!!! DO NOT RELEASE FILM.
Wow by McFrye	Sep 7th, 2007 04:41:32 PM
And I thought the second half of Kill Bill and Jackie Brown sucked. Compared to the theatrical version of Death Proof, Volume 2 and JB were like Hitchcock films! What a waste of time and money!
Death Proof made me a misogynist by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Sep 7th, 2007 04:49:22 PM
Before I was just a misanthrope
Whatever, Death Proof is awsome by hegele	Sep 7th, 2007 04:57:08 PM
and i love hearing whiny misogynist 13 years olds cry when the "bad ass" driver gets what he deserves and takes it like a bitch, easily the funniest moment and surprisingly the best Kurt moment.
Call it "THE BOLIVIAN MARCHING POWDER CUT" by Pound Sand	Sep 7th, 2007 05:41:16 PM
It has a better ring than "Director's Cut."
Damn, fellas. by Gilkuliehe	Sep 7th, 2007 05:50:01 PM
You people are making me sad. We didn't get the GRINDHOUSE cut here and we won't, so I'm eagerly waiting for this DVD... And now it turns out it's CRAP? The lastest Tarantino, Kurt Fucking Russel starrer is BAD AND BORING?! Please tell me you guys are joking, PLEASE.
Nope, sorry. by Traumnovelle	Sep 7th, 2007 05:52:38 PM
We all thought it was going to be badass too. We ALL got duped. Shit is terrible.
Got my DVD today.... by Mr. Profit	Sep 7th, 2007 05:56:53 PM
While the directors cut may be a bit longer, I still enjoyed the hell out of the movie. I still dont see all of the stupid complaints people made about it being too "talky". The movie is great in my opinion. I liked it better than Kill Bill Volume 2.
Wanna watch the Director's Cut of DEATH PROOF...? by moto	Sep 7th, 2007 06:01:29 PM
Um, no.
And Planet Terror was fucking corny.... by Mr. Profit	Sep 7th, 2007 06:06:13 PM
How anyone could say it "owned" or was better than "Death Proof" is beyond me. Sure it may have been corny fun, but I wouldn't watch it again. I think the trailer to Edgar Wright's "Don't" would have been a better full length feature than "Planet Terror". And I hate to pull the "it went over your head" card for "Death Proof", but I don't know why people hate it so much. It was closer to a real Grindhouse movie than "Planet Terror" was. "Planet Terror was more like an 80's B Action Film made by a cheap direct to VHS company like the one that made all of those slumber party massacre movies.
I'd rather staple my penis to a 2 x 4 block of wood by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Sep 7th, 2007 06:13:13 PM
then have to sit through shit proof again. I love QT Harry but really this move was a turd on arrival. Planet Terror on the other hand was awesome fun.
Thanks mode_7 by Gilkuliehe	Sep 7th, 2007 06:18:04 PM
I'm not afraid of women so I will like it. I really hope the ones who say it's bad are wrong, and all the rest of you are right. I don't want to bring children to a world where a QT movie starring Kurt Russel is a bad thing.
the dialogue wasn't that interesting by Geek Sodomizer	Sep 7th, 2007 06:46:30 PM
But I still loved it. Maybe watching it right after Planet Terror amplifies the fact that it's slower paced, and a disapointment in comparison. Watched by itself, I thought it was a great film. Do you guys ever get tired of thinking up new and oh-so-clever ways to call a movie "shit?" It's pretty laughable when you twits sit in here bashing a film when most critics agree it was better than average.
You know what? Fuck you, haters. by Gilkuliehe	Sep 7th, 2007 06:52:56 PM
My man Vern gave this movie his seal of approval, and he strives for excellence, so there. You're just jealous cuz you don't live in Austin, just like me. Fuck you Austin, stupid cool city.
Again : Lapdance by Jaws Wayne	Sep 7th, 2007 07:00:24 PM
You haven't seen this one without seeing that scene. It's a thing of beauty. Word. Rodriguez's Planet Terror reminded me a whole lot of Umberto Lenzi's 1980 film "Nightmare City", anybody seen that one ?
Ayo...."Geek Sodomizer"... by Traumnovelle	Sep 7th, 2007 07:17:20 PM
You're struggling now, buddy. "MOST critics agreed it was BETTER THAN AVERAGE". Such rave reviews! You're right, how did I not fall in love with such a powerhouse of cinematic bliss! And I love the dude that said I was a nerd and I am scared of "woman". Apparently Ivan Drago is a registered talkbacker here now. Truth be told, I am NOT scared of de voman, and I even went to see Grindhouse with TWO lovely young lasses, who BOTH hated Death Proof! Are DEY scared of de VOMAN? I don' teenk so comrad! Nyet! Again I reiterate....fuck Death Proof.
HELL NO! It was long enough the first time. by THXER	Sep 7th, 2007 07:40:15 PM
Where's the Japanese edition on Kill Bill?
I just saw the DvD of Deathproof by vintagecrow	Sep 7th, 2007 07:43:02 PM
And loved it. I think it is one of those films one either loves or hates. Put me in the I loved it crowd.
Nope, don't wanna. Would rather eat cockroaches. by Daddylonghead	Sep 7th, 2007 07:48:42 PM
but thanks for asking.
No, it was a forgettable movie by Rupee88	Sep 7th, 2007 08:09:51 PM
It made little impact on me at the theater.
NOW with 23 extra minutes of dialouge!!! by Mike_D	Sep 7th, 2007 08:15:28 PM
yipee!!!! Planet Terror was better.
ooo by ragingdrunklove	Sep 7th, 2007 08:49:10 PM
yeah not so sure about adding more running time to a movie that shouldnt have existed in the first place.
Death Proof is QT at his fucking Best!!!!! by heavenlykid	Sep 7th, 2007 09:39:35 PM
If you don't like talking on your screen get a playstation (and don't play the smart games with the talking in them). As far as will I be there? I'm in Canada, life sucks. But I'll go to the alamo some day (sigh).
Stop regarding the Alamo like as a personal Mecca! by Traumnovelle	Sep 7th, 2007 09:43:14 PM
Get your ass to Lyon, France! You heard me.
I find my Mecca's where I sees em. by heavenlykid	Sep 7th, 2007 09:45:26 PM
nothin' personal Toxie, but I'll worship what I wanna.
Wait.."like as a personal Mecca"?...you get what I mean by Traumnovelle	Sep 7th, 2007 09:54:02 PM
Toxie? Who's Toxie? I'm just saying...go to the birthplace of movies themselves. Cause your asinine, pompous quote regarding us who didn't enjoy Death Proof also not enjoying talking in movies in GENERAL makes me think you are an elitist geek, but not even a true elitist geek, but a nerdy, WORTHLESS elitist geek who THINKS they are an elitist geek because they own the Keanu Reeves-head DVD set of the Matrix trilogy. Which is all a fancy way of saying you are stupid and I don't like you and I'm willing to bet you smell kind of funny. Like garbage sitting out in the sun. Get your ass to Lyon, France. Its dope.
Ohhh...Toxie. by Traumnovelle	Sep 7th, 2007 09:57:50 PM
Yea. My username has nothing to do with 'Tromaville'. It is the original name of the book that a really rad movie is based off of. Have at you!
"EXCRUCIATING" - Traumnovelle by LoneGun	Sep 7th, 2007 09:59:33 PM
I think that word hits the experience of watching DEATH PROOF right on the nose. This film was worse than boring. It was like being trapped on an elevator with some cell-phone-jabbering sweatbag passing the worst kind of gas. I could not stand this movie, and I say that as one who dearly loved all of Tarantino's previous flicks. Yet, DEATH PROOF got very good reviews in my town, while the exceptional 300 got panned. I don't know, maybe it gets better with repeated viewing, but I have no desire to find out.
Yes! Oh wait, I live in L.A. by D. Allusion	Sep 7th, 2007 10:48:17 PM
Have to wait for the DVD.
I'm glad all these people by calnorso	Sep 7th, 2007 11:31:23 PM
I'm glad all these people aren't afraid to admit that Death Proof was an awful movie, hands down it blew donkey balls. I was sooo bored I almost walked out, I stayed because I wanted to believe that their would be a payoff for sitting through all the boring bullshit. I wanted to believe that Tarantino could deliver but boy was I wrong. It was an awful movie and it diserved to bomb.
hegele... by gotilk	Sep 8th, 2007 12:01:31 AM
..got it right. Death Proof was great fun and Kurt's character was well played. So many of you are so stuck on Kurt as a badass, you refused to accept his brilliant performance as a wuss. Whatever you do, do NOT watch his Disney films.
ahhh Tromvavillage. by heavenlykid	Sep 8th, 2007 12:21:09 AM
You're right, I don't know the actual birth place of film, your right, I thought you're name was a clever refference to Tromaville, which I'm sure will piss off most film guys. I never claimed to be a snob, or an expert, I'm a guy who'd love to go to the Alamo because I freaking loved Death Proof, and my negative email was a response to all the negative emails about what I happened to think was an awesome film. Sorry you disagree but, in a spirit that goes against talkbackers I'd like to say...peace dude. Sorry if I offended you.
It appears the extra 20 minutes are indeed necessary... by Zeke25:17	Sep 8th, 2007 12:32:36 AM
...because they help to make the Stuntman Mike character far more deserving of the over-the-top beatdown he gets at the climax. As I've written before, my main problem with Death Proof as released was that it appeared QT had forgotten to make his villain loathsome! The trouble with Russell's portrayal is you LIKE the guy too much...so much so that more than a few people wrote that they wished he'd killed the second group of girls as well! This is NOT the audience reaction a filmmaker hopes for when his bad guy gets a proper comeuppance. That extra footage makes Russell out to be a lot more creepy, for one thing (check out the published DP screenplay for examples). No, the movie ain't a masterpiece of characterization--having Rosario Dawson's character, a MOTHER, be the devisor of the let's-leave-the-cheerleader-al one-with-the-potential-rapist plan was simply asinine--but I do believe that, shown as originally intended, it will be a better movie.
I thought the drafthouse by tehgreekhammer	Sep 8th, 2007 01:19:30 AM
was going out of business... I guess its like those electronics stores in Times Square that constantly have the "Going out of Business signs" in the Windows but theyve had em there for like 6 years now...
Death Proof admirers by mrbong	Sep 8th, 2007 02:11:17 AM
if, as you say, it is an "excellent homage", then it is a homage to something that was so bad it did not justify the status of having homage paid to it. i just hope the film was QT taking the piss, thinking "let me make the worst film in history and watch people worship it just because it has my name on it". for UK readers, the bootleg of Grindhouse is readily available - go "find" it, Planet Terror is mildly entertaining and the mock trailers are ace.
Director's cut!! by Boba Fat	Sep 8th, 2007 03:02:21 AM
So what was the first release? Bullshit I say. This should be called "Oops the movie bombed let's split the films and try to get some money back cut" Quentin you are fuckin us over.
ASOLUTELY NOT!! by football	Sep 8th, 2007 03:19:32 AM
Death Proof was fucking shite!
Heavenlykiddo.. by Traumnovelle	Sep 8th, 2007 03:19:57 AM
It's no problem holmes.
Any scene with Kurt was great by MattmanReturns	Sep 8th, 2007 03:25:57 AM
Everything else was bullshit. And I LOVE Tarantino movies.
Anyone who prefers Planet Terror to Deathproof is a... by Midol Boy	Sep 8th, 2007 04:10:01 AM
fucking retard .
So they diagnose retardation... by ButtfuckZydeco	Sep 8th, 2007 04:49:07 AM
by noting a preference for entertainment over boredom?
Torture by PatsFanDK	Sep 8th, 2007 07:02:34 AM
Yeah, that's right. Sitting through this film and suffering through all the catty nonsense dialogue was pure torture. Most of you only claim to like it because it's Tarantino. I don't get why people force themselves to like a movie because of a certain director. It's like the Star Wars prequels. Noone wanted to accept the fact they sucked, then sooner or later you come to the realization that, yeah, they suck. Death Proof sucked. You couldn't pay me enough to go to this "Alamo Drafthouse" or whatever the fuck to see this shit with a bunch of fat Mountain Dew, Cheetos loving retards.
Director's Cut of DEATH PROOF by mrmodularus	Sep 8th, 2007 09:05:12 AM
Absolutely. I enjoyed the theatrical release, and am a big enough fan to want to see that extra 23 minutes. I enjoy the dialogue that QT writes ... simply brilliant !!!
Yes! by Lance Rock	Sep 8th, 2007 09:09:45 AM
Again, AICN and Alamo have proven themselves as the badasses they truly are. I can't wait to watch the director's cut--got my vouchers last night. Thank You!!!
Thanks for the invitation by Dark Knight Lite	Sep 8th, 2007 09:12:23 AM
I think I'll stay home and watch an entaining movie instead.
You Mean The First Version Wasn't A Directors Cut? by LaserPants	Sep 8th, 2007 09:39:16 AM
Thats weird. I thought the whole idea behind Grindhouse was that RR and QT could do essentially whatevah the heck they wanted to? Really looking forward to the dvd, btw, which I reckon will be HUGE, and more than makeup for the fact that the theatrical release was a massive bomb. Its gonna blow up on dvd though, it was meant for dvd.
I didn't think much of either Death Proof... by hank henshaw	Sep 8th, 2007 12:00:35 PM
...or Planet Terror. I thought they were both boring and pointless, for different reasons. I guess the grindhouse genre (or genres?) are not for everyone. I certainly didn't get what all the excitement was about. Hmm, "Director's cut from Death Proof"? I think that the theatrical version was the Director's Cut. What they are doing now is a perversion of the term "director's cut", what this is is an unedited version, where QT throws every thing in AND the kitchen sink. I mean, did anyone really felt that Death Proof wasn't long enough as it was?
Death Proof was better by johnyaztec	Sep 8th, 2007 12:02:38 PM
I just want to say that I am a huge Rodriguez fan, hell Robert inspired me to be a writer. But the truth of Grindhouse is Planet Terror !!SUCKED!! If anything was over scripted and self indulgent it was Roberts half of the move. Sure the Machete trailer was cool but his movie sucked. If I wanted Rose McGowen crammed down my throat for an hour Id pop in my VHS of scream from 1998. Death Proof was the better movie and Im saying that as a Rodriguez fan. I will be buying Death Proof the day it comes out but Im gonna wait until planet terror goes down to 9 bucks at bestbuy
What's the Q & A going to be like? by tonagan	Sep 8th, 2007 01:09:08 PM
"So, Quentin, what's it like to be so awesome?" "Why are you so great?" "If I were a girl, would you marry me?"
The 90s are over!!!!!!!! by MrFacety	Sep 8th, 2007 02:56:08 PM
Why doesn't QT just make his badass women in prison flick starring Linsey Lohan, Halle Berry, and Uma Thurman. Barbara Streissan or who ever the fuck and finish off this exploitation hard-on (he's been on for the last decade) and make a real movie. Oh I forgot, he already won an Oscar. He doesn't have to. Oh well my good man, Carry on. Keep wasting Weinstein money. It aint mine my brotha.
No Show in UK by Tigerrun	Sep 8th, 2007 03:02:18 PM

Traumnovelle - That's the truth! by heroic_duo	Sep 8th, 2007 03:15:20 PM
So wanted to like DP, so incredibly hated it. Worst QT dialog ever; he thinks he can write for women, but he can't. DP also shows that's it's rarely a good idea to cast stunt people as actors; Zoe was just terrible. I'm not a huge RR fan, but Planet Terror was fun and easy to watch. DP was like nails on a chalkboard, pompous, lazy and the discomfort was exacerbated by criminally underusing Kurt Russell. DP sucked ass and QT and his supporters should be ashamed!
I would they make better movies.... by MrFacety	Sep 8th, 2007 03:29:53 PM
Everything from the states used to be on 80s lunch boxes now they are movies. Transformers, Spiderman G.I. Joe, ... American cinema is a joke. The Japs own horror. UK. owns comedy. HongKong owns Police drama (Infernal Affairs), Korea owns Crime (Old Boy, Lady Vengeance.) Well wwe still got super heroes. Great I got something in common with the shit-on-themself crowd. And how the fuck does Scorcese win an Oscar for remaking someone else's classic. I could remake the Godfather and win a trophy in India. Too much deepthroating with no hands on this site. Well I'm going to positively reinforce my foot up your asses. I only give credit where it's due.
No I don't by DirkD13"	Sep 8th, 2007 03:39:31 PM
I want to watch the GRINDHOUSE cut of Death Proof, with Planet Terror and the fake trailers, at any theatre in the UK. Dammit.
Heres The QT Q&A by LaserPants	Sep 8th, 2007 04:23:09 PM
1. Where do you get your weed and coke? Clearly you have access to the best stuff around seeing as how I don't think you're ever not totally high. 2) Whats up with the foot fetish? 3) HOSTEL parts 1 & 2... why? You do realize they were both terrible right? That although Eli Roth may have access to killer weed and coke (the answer to question 1, no doubt), he's a terrible director, right? I mean, you do realize that? Is your working relationship like an in-joke or something? 4) When are you going to finance the KILL BILL Vol. 3 anime by Prodcution IG? WHEN?!
Mr. Facety YOU are a joke by Geek Sodomizer	Sep 8th, 2007 09:51:10 PM
Let's take a look at some of the 2006 U.S. movies shall we. Casino Royale The Fountain Little Miss Sunshine The Prestige United 93 Clerks 2 The Departed Borat Inland Empire Apocalypto Black Snake Moan MI:3 STFU and I don't give a shit if Departed is a remake or Borat isn't from America. You still suck.
Doesn't the Drafthouse have its own TalkBack spot? by gruntybear	Sep 9th, 2007 03:47:09 PM
I mean really AICN people. Could you please stop rubbing it in? We know we don't live anywhere near the Drafthouse and that 99.9% of us will NEVER make it to a showing there. Do you have to throw salt in the wound every few days just to underscore how fucking lame our local theaters are?
You ALL are missing the point by ZoeFan	Sep 9th, 2007 04:53:47 PM
The 85% of Death Proof that is dialog IS there to lead you to the last 15 minutes. Because the last 15 minutes IS Death Proof. Much like the movies it was trying to imitate, 90% of the budget is the last 15 minutes. If the old time "Grindhouse" movies had more money they would have had more to them. But they didn't, so they took one mega action scene (90% of the budget) and framed it around a ton of dialog. You might be thinking, "Yeah it still sucked". Guess what, most "Grindhouse" movies sucked too, except for a GREAT 5-minute action sequence, killing spree or fight scene. So when I say I loved DP, I LOVED it for what it was trying to be. You'd be in the huge minority if you think it's as good or better than Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs or Jackie Brown (highly underrated). But it's not trying to be one of those. It's trying to be a movie with no plot, no budget, and no good acting (except for the bad guys). Which leads me to another small point, to the person that said Zoe can't act, she's NOT supposed to be able to act. She's supposed to hang on the hood of a car that's going 50 MPH. This is reminisent of what the original "Grindhouse" movies would do. That is, hire stunt people as actors because it would lower the budget. You may address any questions to me, I'll be here all night.
Seen the UK trailer for the 'solo' Deathproof yet? by moonlightdrive	Sep 10th, 2007 05:23:51 PM
SHIT. They've gone from one of the best trailers I've ever seen in the Grindhouse one (previously shown in UK cinemas too) to this shit. I just hope the movies alright. I'm still gutted about this fuck up.
Fucking Great Movie! by filename.exe	Sep 10th, 2007 05:53:33 PM
It was VERY Vanishing Point. Watch the movie and you understand the pacing. It's supposed to have an all out ending! You get to know the cast then when the ending comes you feel WITH them!
