The Grindhouse!

I went and watched this movie Friday night. Ever since I seen the previews during 300 I knew I must see this movie.. And it was totally awesome.. I dragged my girlfriend there not telling her that it was over three hours long and she even liked "Deathproof". It only earned just under 12 million for it opening week so I was wondering how the hell "Are we Done Yet?" could gross more than this awesome movie..

[QUOTE="Solid_Cobra"]I loved Plane Terror, but didn't really like Death Proof. Seems to me that Rodriguez has eclipsed Tarrentino lately.

Because Tarantino underestimated how fickle people are. He made a truly awesome film, as he always does, but you only find out it's awesome from going to the theatre to watch. Unlike other films, like 300 for example, where you think "THIS WILL KICK ASS", Grindhouse looks incredibly stupid from the average bystander's point of view. "two movies? wah? 70s genres? whurt? gun for a leg? eh?" It just looks dumb. Sadly, the only people who can appreciate it are those who KNOW what it's supposed to be and actually go see it to find out how much ass it kicks (a lot). 90% of people will simply avoid it because they think it looks stupid.Ninja-Vox

 I see where you're coming from.  But I disagree with you on the pacing.  It started out fine, but the second act felt like a rehash of the first, only more boring.  The dialogue didn't grab my interest like other Tarrantino movies usually do.  It just sort of dragged on unnecessarily.  I was hoping to see Stuntman Mike do his thing more (and a higher body count ;)).

Maybe if they showed Death Proof first i would have had more patience for the slow pacing.  Instead they put it after a better executed and more exciting film.  Plus considering how long I was sitting in the theater, I wasn't interested in sitting and listening to idle chit chat so late in the game.  I found myself bored through 80 % of that movie.

But Planet Terror itself was worth the price of admission, so I can't complain too much.  I hope that they make more Grindhouse double features.
