Blasphemy! These movies are masterpieces, but they require a certain intellectual level to be appeciated. And for j****'s sake.... GO SEE IT BEFORE STATING YOUR OPINION!

Seriously, Grindhouse is one of the most well done, well thought movie ever and it's extremely gory and hilarious. I mean... what could you want more? It's one of the best movies ever. A PERFECT movie

Some are typing that this is the greatest movie since sliced bread. It is not. Entertaining? Yes Violent? Yes, and more blood than your average R rated flick Nudity? Some, but not over the top. Plot? Nope Senseless? Yep The best movie this year? Not even close? A bad movie? Nope

At the same time, I would argue that Death Proof was a legitimately good film. Whether you love car movies or Tarantino, it has something for either (and I agree with Tarantino, CGI is a terrible way to film car chases). It's too bad it couldn't have been longer, otherwise it could've stood on its own as a film.

Grindhouse will easily be the best movie of the year. I'm positive. And not because this is a weak year for cinema; Grindhouse is a masterpiece. It's absolutely excellent. You have to see it.

For those who have seen it, how does that chick fire that machine gun leg?  I've wanted to know for some time now. And please don't respond "See the movie, and find out", because I'm not gonna see it anytime soon (i.e. forever)

They leave that out. Dude, don't go into the physics or whatever of it. That's not the point. Understand that it is all black humor.

You have no idea what your talking about. Sadly, I thought it looked like crap too. Then I saw the reviews and went out to see it. It's hilarious, it's a total goof of 70's B-crap. Think like shaun of the dead in a way. BUT, I will say this, the first movie is way better than the second.

Tarentino (sp) drags the dialog on for WAY too long.

I know its completely over the top, but thats just dumb.  Just how in War of the Worlds, there was this van that could survive a holocaust, but it can't survive someone punching it.  Its so stupid, I mean, I'm not a realism nazi but a little effort goes a long way.  I might as well bang my head on a table a few times to kill brain cells, at least it'll take about 3 hours less.

Don't even compare this to the plot holes of War of the Worlds right now. This is nothing of that serious. "CHECK THE SOLINOID"

Now, here's where you and I differ. I love Tarantino's dialogue and thought the movie was better for it. Some of the best moments in Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs involve people pretty much talking about random crap.

Well see, don't get me wrong. I love good dialog from great films, but this just dragged. I began to find myself bored when these chicks would just go on about making out or something in the car. I just don't see it moving the story along in anway. Even though the car chases were really well filmed (no cgi, which I think was one of the points he made in the script) where a nice change.

That's how Tarantino establishes his characters. Is it any different from conversation about a royale with cheese or reasons for not tipping waitresses?

There's nothing really wrong with having to much dialog, it can be really random too like what we see with QT, but it's gotta keep you in. But, like in Death Proof, it's just too much at times. I started getting annoyed when they wanted to take the car out for a test drive, but they just kept complaining to each other. Maybe it was because my ass was hurting from already sitting there for awhile (it hurt...).
