From Moriarty's intro to The Devil Dared Me To on Aint It Cool News:
"I think it’s official: if I hear one more person use the word “grindhouse” as an adjective, I’m going to punch a baby. No, scratch that. I’m going to punch every baby. Alphabetically. Over and over and over.
I think it’s an annoyance because (A) most of the people using the word never heard it before six months ago and (B) most of the people using it are using it incorrectly. You can’t just randomly apply it to any film that seems a little crazy or that has exploitation elements. It refers to a specific era of distribution, a specific moment, and that age has, sad to say, passed."
-----------------------------------------------
I was afraid this was gonna happen. Just like that frat guy I overheard in 1995 talking about "this crazy new Quentin Tarantino movie" starring Stallone and Antonio Banderas called Assasins (which WASN'T a Tarantino movie), but just because Tarantino was the new deal after Pulp Fiction, and this movie featured gunplay, it was assumed he must be one of the 3 directors working in Hollywood (you know, along with Spielberg and Hitchcock!).
I better not hear any dumbass try to talk Grindhouse just because he's seen the film...
