Grindhouse
Any opinion on this movie that came out this week?
To me, it looks okay, but since I have to do an important work for school, I might check it out when it comes on DVD. |
There is absolutely nothing inside me that screams COOL!!! at the image of a hot chick with a machine gun for a leg. So I have zero interest in this thing.

yeah. Tarentino just manages to piss me off, i hate his flicks.

For those of you who really don't like Tarantino, I recommend you try watching Jackie Brown...I feel it's a great Tarantino movie for people who don't normally like him. I mean, it's slow and talky, and not for everybody, but what I like about it is that it was just a disciplined, accomplished book adaptation, with very little of the stylistic idiosyncracies and quirks that I think irritate a lot of people about all of his other films. For me, it was the film that proved that Tarantino was actually a talented and versatile director, rather than a self-indulging film geek with a camera, which is what I think a lot of his critics had him pegged as.
As for Grindhouse, Tarantino-haters should bear in mind that it's actually two movies back-to-back, and the first one, Planet Terror, is actually directed by Robert Rodriguez (of Once Upon A Time In Mexico, Desperado, Sin City and uh, Spy Kids fame). If you're a a Rodriguez fan, maybe you can go and see the movie then leave after Planet Terror is over. :P Personally, I think that most of the nostalgia factor of this project would be diluted by my total lack of exposure to 70s grindhouse cinema, but I do think it's conceptually pretty gutsy to release an exploitation double-feature in the middle of 2007. I think it would be worth my money to go just for that experience...shame I'm going to miss it, really... |
HAHAHAHA, I heard about this, but I haven't actually seen a preview or anything for it.
COUP DE VENT! |
I've seen some just plain wierd stuff from the 70's. John Waters comes to mind, but ol' Quentin annoys me.
I'll give Jackie Brown a shot if i see it on, though. |
What's wrong with Quentin Tarintino?
He may have made a few flicks, but some of them, including Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction, are great. Seriously, what's so bad about Tarintino? |
(THERE'S SPOILERS IN THEM THAR POST!)
I think everyone's problem with Tarantino is that either his films are too talky and profane for most, or the fact that the guy looks and talks like a coked-up autistic in his interviews. I love dialogue in films, so I've never had any problems with QT. Coincidentally, I just saw Grindhouse today, and it was a HOOT. Easily the most fun I've had at the movies since I saw Shaun Of The Dead. It's worth it to see Rosario Dawson and two other girls kick the crap out of Kurt Russell. |
meh, his flicks are just too over-the-top ridiculous for my tastes.
