It looks long.  We have a poster up for it.  Pretty neat poster.

That's all I know about it.

damnit. i read the spoilers.

Alas!  Alack!

[swolt]

That was an awesome review.

I want to see this movie so bad.

[Gamplayerx]

Funny review.

[ursus]

Mmmmmmmm, taquitos.

[dots]

Out today!

I am going to see it.

[BigDun]

I saw it this afternoon.

Meh. Parts of it were OK, but it waaaaay too long.

[swolt]

I loved it. Planet Terror was freakin' great. Death Proof was pretty good, I thought it was a little long.

I am SOOO disappointed there really isn't a Thanksgiving movie. I would go see that.

[VikingJuice]

I weighed in just the opposite.  I thought Planet Terror was okay but Death Proof was really good.

Zoe.......Mmmmmm.  She'd probably break me in half and do permanant damage but YOW!!!  She's so hot.

[Beefy]

Yeah, gotta lean towards Death Proof.  It's talky, but once you get through the set-up to action, it's breathless and funny.

And DON'T wait for THANKSGIVING to see MACHETE!

Three songs from the soundtrack:

ok now that I have time to type it up, here are my thoughts on both movies. Spoilers below! Read at your own risk.



Planet Terror was just what I was expecting. The look, feel, acting, and sound track made it seem like a cheap B movie from the 80's or early 90's. Old B movies (and this one) can get away with crazy things because hey, it's a cheaply made movie and they HAVE to be crazy to make up for lack of effects and good acting. That's why the machine gun leg and Bruce Willis falling apart at the end worked so well in this movie. And by the way, the line Wray gives Bruce is so awesome "Thank you for your service to this country, sir." BLAM!

Death Proof didn't feel like a cheap B movie. It felt like a Tarantino flick. The dialog was cool, like his other movies, but it didn't feel like what I was expecting. Yes, the action was awesome and the car chase was freakin' amazing, plus it had some great lines ("I'm about to bust a nut up in here!") But I think he kind of cheated. Planet Terror could get away with the missing reel gag, Death Proof couldn't. Not only did it seem like a repeat of a joke from the first movie, but it didn't work for this film. I found it distracting when the film got messed up, unlike Planet Terror where I thought it was funny.
It also seemed long winded just for the sake of being long winded. I don't mind the dialog if it moves the story forward or is entertaining, but it seemed like he was trying too hard to make classic lines. I thought it could have used much less of the girls talking and more about what happened to Kurt Russell (where DID the scar come from? Did he cry like a baby when he got it?)

Having said all that, I enjoyed both movies. Maybe I was just in the mood for a comedy, but I loved Planet Terror so much. I now have a machine gun leg fetish.

I keep meaning to reply to Swolt, but then I figure I don't have the time and then I put it off.

Oh well, in the mean time, there might be, in theory, three songs from Death Proof in the Dump.  They would in theory only be there for a short time, though.

And they might, just maybe, theoretically include Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich!

I liked them both, but liked Death Proof more.  Planet Terror had too much Tarantino in it for my taste.  Way too much.

I was distracted a bit during a part of Death Proof as a cockroach crawled across our table, but other than that - thoroughly enjoyed the flick.  Oh, and Butterfly has an effed up nose.

[eo000]

table???

[Jessie]

table???

I was thinking the same thing.

We have a movie theatre/bar/restaurant out here.  It's cheaper than a normal movie theater, but more expensive if you end up ordering food or drink.

Supposedly Paris Hilton was there last month.

That would explain the cockroach.

Or would that be a coochroach?

I liked Planet Terror way more.  It was just fun, and didn't try to be anything but.

Death Proof had great action, but not enough of it.  There was too much set up for the first group of girls.  I loved Zoe, though.
