but once he got halfway through, it just seemed like normal old Tarantino. Stylistically especially.
True that, and he couldn't bear to crud up the image, either. The car chase was seriously old school/low tech though. And Zoe Bell rocks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a major girl crush on Zoe, let me not lie.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The Don't trailer was the weakest of them all, I think.
Noooo, it was hilarious! I loved that one. I've been doing that narration since.
In several ways, KILL BILL (especially Vol. 1) was more of a true "Grindhouse" movie.
And, see, I lurve Kill Bill, Volume 1. But I was really meh on Death Proof.
Planet Terror was cheesy as hell, but I also thought it was surprisingly good. I loved the main title theme that repeated itself throughout the movie in different forms.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I loved the main title theme that repeated itself throughout the movie in different forms.
I think Rodriguez composed that himself.

Yep. Which is another reason I love him more now after seeing Grindhouse.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Speaking of schlock, I'm about halfway through Reign Of Fire, and I am absolutely in love with this movie. So many cliches, so little time, and an extremely pretty cast to boot.

Reign of Fire did have the pretty. I need to watch it again with rifftrax, though.

Unfortunately, the excess hotness Bale added by working out was counterbalanced by McConnaghey's fugly beard and bald head, in some sort of weird attractiveness zero-sum game.

Hey. New board.
I just got back from Grindhouse. I definitely liked the Rodgriguez flick more - it took WAY too long for anything to happen, and even when it did it was anticlimactic in the Tarantino one. And my favorite trailer was actually Machete, though I loved them all.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

But...Gerard Butler! He totally contributes some hotness (to a really silly movie).
