tweenster stars skull and crossbones

I saw Grindhouse last night. Overall, the movies were very good and it was time well spent. Planet Terror! was fucking insane good and I spent a lot of the time laughing out loud. The fake previews between films were hilarious as well. But Tarantino's contribution was by far the weaker of the two, and after 10 minutes I was just wishing it was

Modest Mouse, yes, I had nearly forgotten.

We'll have to get together before that though eh? Yes.

I preferred Death Proof by far. Planet Terror! was entertaining, but I felt it fell a little flat after all was said and done. Death Proof, on the other hand, made me want to stand up and cheer! I think Tarantino did an excellent job at keeping the story simple, yet I felt his characters were better developed than the ones in Planet Terror!; I cared about them more.

I agree with immanuelcant in that Quentin Tarantino cannot act! If there is one thing that is becoming a worse distraction with each successive film, it's his ever growing bit parts. Yes, make a brief cameo appearance if you must, but then shutup and get off the screen! Although maybe he likes everyone going, "Oh, yup. There's Quentin Tarantino again. Yup."

Damn, I'm really surprised that you both seem to like Death Proof so much. The only parts I liked were:

The lap dance negotiation scene
The girl killed in the passenger seat scene
A few shots during the alltogether redundant girl riding a car scene
Kurt Russell crying like a baby, then getting hit with a friggin' pipe
Them beating the crap out of him and an abrupt, hilarious THE END.

The rest just runs right together, and I totally hated almost everyone of those girls, especially the saucy little "Kiwi" who couldn't keep her eyebrows down to save her life, and looked like she was kept awake for weeks on end prior to filming, forced to watch Tim Roth in Resivour Dogs and Pulp Fiction Clockwork Orange style.

I guess I liked Planet Terror so much for some outside reasons too. I watched a little bit of Cabin Fever beforehand, and saw this really funny PANCAKE scene where I kids starts yelling Pancake and then just bites this guy. So anyway, I was in the mood to laugh at stupidity and Planet Terror delivered. I mean, did you see

The "Kiwi" is Zoe Bell, an extremely talented stunt person. She used to do Lucy Lawless' stunts on Xena. She was the double for Uma Thurman in the Kill Bill films, which of course is where Tarantino comes in. I think she also did Sharon Stone's parts in Catwoman.

Not the greatest actress, no. But man, the things she can do! Check out the documentary about her and another stunt woman trying to make it in Hollywood. Pretty spiffy!

sounds interesting, I'm going to check that out!
