headexplode Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I just actually heard about this yesterday but damn I'm excited about it. I love the old school horror double features and Tarantino and Rodriguez (and Freddy Rodriguez from SFU) so I'm pumped. Of course, the reviewer from the Post found it juvenile and gratuitous--so I'm sure I'll love it! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/05/AR2007040501361.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headexplode Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 I gotta say, I'm shocked more people here aren't interested in this. I guess I don't have my thumb on the pulse of the ES community. I used to love watching the "creature features" with my dad that came on channel 20 and 50 years ago in this area on Sundays. They also played a lot of awesome kung fu movies too. I guess I'm the only one. (Maybe this means there will be no one in the theaters--awesome!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 The reviewer out here said the Rodriguez half is awesome and the Tarantino half is lame. I wanna see Rose McGowan do the bionic motorcycle thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free advice; when checking someone's pulse, it's best not to use one's thumb (especially if it's spent an inordinate amount of time up one's butt). However, I agree with you. This looks great. Someone told me there are zombies in one of the movies.....Is this true? Now I just have to figure out a way to convince the woman to go and spend 3.5 hours in a movie theater watching gratuitous violence and unrealistic fight sequences.....

Rocky21 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 It'll be the yung uns best chance to see what a 70's drive thru double feature was really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 "Grindhouse" has something like 86% positive ratings on rottentomatoes.com...and it seems that the reviewers flip-flop back and forth on which movie is better, Planet Terror or Death Proof. Apparently the first one is nonstop stupid fun and gory action, while the last one has one of the most astounding car chases ever put to film. I gotta see this **** lol :laugh:...

CPortJGibbs89 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Probably will have to see it next week so I can get a good seat at the movies looks freaking bad ass though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveo21 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Saw this today at 1. Death proof should have been the first film. It was deff the more Grindhouse of the two but got very slow in act 2 then ended well. Planet Terror is just flat out fun . Hope they actually make *THANKSGIVING* Overall it was just fun and ya need to see it with a packed house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Man, I'm seeing this (these) movie(s) no doubt about it. Tarantino is my all-time favorite director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drums and skins Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 The reviewer out here said the Rodriguez half is awesome and the Tarantino half is lame. I wanna see Rose McGowan do the bionic motorcycle thing. Yea, thats pretty much what I gathered after watching the 3 minute trailer (before seeing 300). I'm sure tarantino's part is good, but Rodriguez's part just looks so over the top good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slackermike Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I wanted to go see it this evening, but I'll probably have to wait a few days. Definitely a movie that I'll see in the theater regardless of what other people say about it. While I love saving money by not wasting it seeing flops, sometimes I like to see a movie without reading reviews so I'm more objective when I see it. Although, sometimes it doesn't work out and I see something absolutely terrible .... IE Eight Legged Freaks. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking Deadman Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Well, if we don't get snow tommorrow, I'm hoping to see it. If only for the "trailers". Eli Roth does a hilarious one called Thanksgiving (a parody of Halloween), Rob Zombie has one called Werewolf Women of the SS (be on the look out for a Nic Cage cameo) and then there's Machete with Danny Trejo. Can't beat 2 movies, three hours, plus campy trailers......this just looks great for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Just got back from watching it and I was a bit disappointed by Death Proof. Planet Terror was fun as hell though. Was grinning from ear to ear when that one was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins-fan-since-birth Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Grindhouse may very well be the greatest movie ever made, couldn't stop laughing, I vote for Machete and thanksgiving for Grindhouse II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chump Bailey Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Planet Terror sucked IMO... Too long and too goofy. I would rather have watched the Halloween trailer over and over again for two hours. Death Proof was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 TRAILERS: alright; Machete seems awesome (will be a real movie) and :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: at "Don't" and Nic Cage PLANET TERROR: Fun, violent, funny at times, gory, and hot chicks (:yikes: :drool: @ Rose McGowan) DEATH PROOF: a bit too much talking, but not too bad; some funny lines; HOT chicks; Kurt Russell clearly had a blast, and the car chase(s) were great; loved the ending. BTW, "Zoe" was Uma's stuntwoman in the Kill Bill movies. See this. As for real trailers, we got the new Die Hard one. Seems badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f_trizzy Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 The Thanksgiving trailer is availible at You Tube. There is some nudity so if you aren't at least 17 dont watch You'll come home for the holidays...in a body bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
