SEX MACHINE!

Looks good.

I guess I'll leave it in this forum for some boost discussion, then move it.

The Core
Just to clarify, it's two short movies in one, with an intermission. Tarantino's is "Death Proof" and Rodriguez's is "Planet Terror". I'll probably see it a few times.

Impediment
How long is an actual intermission, anyways?

I hope it will be great, but I'm not expecting much.

Intermissions usually last between 15 to 30 minutes


-Wiki

I'm not sure what this film's intermission plan is though. I know there will be fake trailers, but I'm not 100% on the length.

It's not just QT, it's his brother-in-arms Robert Rodriguez as well.

QT&RR do B-movie horror droolio

Been trying
but that trailer has got me exited like no other
i love the early Carpenter feel and i believe they are going for a Alan Howarth synth style rolling soundtrack in PLANET TERROR!!!
Rose Magowans looking HOT...no faulting Mansons taste in women then.

theres a similar thread on the HORROR FORUM bout the movie btw

I never watch movies simply because it has a hot chick. Otherwise I would have watched Dukes of Hazzard.

I go by the same philosophy but with this it's gore, guns AND chicks. So the added bonus just sweetens the deal with this one.

Myth
The gore and the guns are the only draw for me. If I wanted "chicks" on video, I'd watch porn.

vintageSW77
No you got me wrong...i meant a chick with a machine gun in her leg is what this movie is about
- preposterous 70s retro action/horror in the vein of many forgotten cult classics that the movies and fake trailers will draw from in Grindhouse...Mcgowan is similar to a Russ Meyer type heroine from what im seeing....a Tura Satana type....and that for me is HOT.
I love 70s cult/retro chicks.
F**K that Jessica Simpson/Aeon Flux/Electra crap.
Youre confusing my interest in them with getting a stiff one n having a quick pull at the sight of nice booty and a pair of ****.
im talking the return of kick ass female characters who are feminine,powerful and sexy at the same time....and it seems only Tarantino is putting em on screen at the moment.

vintageSW77
Anyone unfamiliar with the Grindhouse genre heres a few to check out...these are a few ive seen
You can find em on the web or cult movie fairs...this is just the tip of the iceberg and i guess they will be re released when the movie is out to cash in

THE AMAZING MR NO LEGS/A real amputee stars as an ass-kicking, karate-chopping, shotgun blasting tough guy in this no budget grindhouse flick
HELL'S BLOODY DEVILS/ Bload soaked bikers
MALIBU HIGH/ A sexpot gets laid and gets paid as a whore and a hit lady. Pure Grindhouse.
TRIP WITH THE TEACHER/ A psycho biker terrorizes a school bus full of teenage girls.Classic and dodgy
THE ZEBRA KILLER William Girdler's blaxploitation grindhouse classic.

Theres a couple of Russ Meyer Pics that come close to Grindhouse too which i recommend

Oh I am so looking forwards to Grind House. smile

rockycairns
they are two sixty minute films the first Death Proof is directed by Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction) it is a slasher film starring Kurt Russel (Tombstone) Naveen Andrews (Lost) and Danny Trejo (Desperado) the second film is Planet Terror directed by Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) it is a zombie film starring Josh Brolin, Freddy Rodriguez, Michael Biehn and Rosario Dawson

i'd like to point out that neither of the two directors are flawless. let's look at the pro's and con's.

tarantino: +resevoir dogs,true romance, pulp fiction
+/- kill bill, kill bill 2, jackie brown
- from dusk til dawn, natural born killers, it's pat, four rooms

rodriguez: + sin city
+/- spy kids, el mariachi
- spy kids 2, spy kids 3, desperado, once upon a time in mexico, from dusk till dawn, four rooms, shark boy and lava girl, from dusk till dawn 3, the faculty

all i know is this: when this movie drops, i will go INSANE from all the morons talking it up.

When talking about QT as a director when do you mention projects that his written but hasn't directed? Seems unfair to judge in that manner especially with projects like Natural Born Killers in which Tarantino only came up with the story

I also didn't see the need to "point" out anything because I think we are all aware that they aren't flawless. Also why would you go insane? Especially since there's reason enough to be hyped about the project.

manorastroman
"only came up with the story"? that's a pretty big only. i included projects that either director had significant creative influence over, which means wrote and/or directed.

and the entire post was basically my way of saying that there most certainly is NOT plenty to be hyped about. this movie looks like it will be a LOT more natural born killers/from dusk till dawn and a lot less pulp fiction/sin city.

they're giving in to their worst instincts.

Writing a story doesn't mean shit if you aren't writing the script or directing the project. Anyone can come up with a good story and have it totally F'ed in the A, if some one doesn't come up with a good script or have the vision to direct it properly. Plus, saying that you only added the projects that QT had significant influence doesn't mean much, considering how small a career that is thus far.

I don't think it looks like any of the films you mentioned. It's a totally different project. I doubt QT was going for Pulp Fiction when he was doing this and I doubt RR was going for Sin City as well. Besides mentioning their previous works does little to support your case because it shows that these men are well within their limit to produce this project.

manorastroman
what? qt DID do the script for the projects mentioned, so apparently that whole paragraph of yours "doesn't mean much".

of course it doesn't look like the projects mentioned, being that there are no vampires or prison escapes to speak of. i mean to say that "grindhouse" is most likely going to be a logical extension of both director's "grindhouse" stylistic tendencies. said tendencies are the reason why their bad movies are bad.

Let's see:

Quentin Tarantino
Reservoir Dogs - 9/10
Pulp Fiction - 10/10
Kill Bill - 9/10
Jackie Brown - 10/10
True Romance - 3/10
Four Rooms - 3/10
From Dusk 'Till Dawn - 4/10
Natural Born Killers - 2/10


Robert Rodriguez
Sin City - 9/10
Spy Kids - 4/10
Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams - 4/10
Spy Kids 3D - 6/10
From Dusk 'Till Dawn - 5/10
Desperado - 7/10
Once Upon a Time in Mexico - 8/10
El Mariachi - 5/10


While everything Tarantino directed got an excellent rating from me, I'm going to guess that I'll love Death Proof. Robert Rodriguez is decent enough to pull off his half, as well.

If this is an extension of their stylistic tendencies I still don't see how that makes this film bad.

yes, really. and even if his creative role in nbk isn't "significant" enough, that does nothing to the rest of the awful screenplays he's written.

was there nonsense in that paragraph? the "grindhouse" influence is not a good one, therefore that influence extending over the whole of the project is a bad thing. seems pretty simple to me.

That's incorrect. Have you even seen the opening credits? Under who had written it, QT's name is not mention.

WTF? Are you even aware of what the influence behind Grindhouse is? B-grade horror movies. That B-grade influence over the work is turning out great, as far as the trailer looks. The movie looks gritty, gory & fun just like B-grade horror film. So, for me at least, influence is not at all a negative thing. BTW, the way you presented before did indeed not make sense.

manorastroman
i wish i was more adroit at forum punctuation, but i used grindhouse in the context of both the movie and the style.

so: the movie grindhouse looks to be both the director's bad grindhouse (the style) tendencies come to horrid, "snakes on a plane" esque life.

Well, IMO, the movie's style looks excellent. Snakes on a Plane was an great movie. Most fun I've had in a cinema ever.

manorastroman
it appears as if you enjoyment of snakes on a plane creates a fundamental gap in taste that cannot be bridged. impasse, then? i suppose it has been since inception.

My perception of just went from idiot to complete moron. Have you even bothered to ask what other movies I enjoy? Or even bothered to check my profile? No, but I can expect that from a moron, can I?

The Core
It looks more like early John Carpenter than anything, and nobody goes to a Tarantino movie looking for a solid screenplay. They go for dialogue. If you're looking for anything else, you're barking up the wrong tree. Their tendencies, and how YOU feel they are reflected in his work would put you in the minority when it comes to fans of cinema in general.

If it's something you don't like, don't bait others, the aforementioned "morons" such as myself that may, to your surprise, have a "legitimate" reason for liking the film. Live and let live.

This is no place for discounting other people's opinions based on a prejudice. Besides, Ya Krunk'd Floo is our resident esotericist.

manorastroman
wow, that was weird. i wasn't saying anyone who likes grindhouse is a moron. in fact, nothing of the sort has ever been birthed from these fingertips. but it IS true that several morons will like the film, and will shove it down my throat. legitimacy is irrelevent.

and why the hell would i ask you what other movies you like, or check your profile? on this issue, your enjoyment of snakes on a plane reflects why you will likely enjoy grindhouse, where as my abhorrence of snakes on a plane indicates why i likely wouldn't enjoy grindhouse.

and i DO go to tarantino for a solid script. his direction as never struck me as tremendous.

Legitimacy is only irrelevant to people who already have their minds made up as to how they view certain people and their subsequent views.



Yes. Why would you? You've already evaluated the guy's tastes, drawing parallels between two TOTALLY incompatible movies. From my 3 years here, I've found that it's a lot easier for some to just go with whatever there is to work with, for fear of being wrong in their estimation, because they've either made their mind up.

In my debates, I've seen it go both ways, and with you yourself being shrouded in mystery with a blank profile, while empty, speaks volumes.

manorastroman
did you quote my post without reading it? i have no interest in this guy besides this topic, and despite what you may think, TONS of paralells can be drawn twixt snakes and grindhouse. so to quote you...yes, why would I?

this is very odd. i never gave any indication that i was marginalizing this guy's taste, nor that i even conceited to know his taste. that was all assumption on his part, and yours.

i'd hate to patronize you with elementary logic, but just because i said morons would talk it up does not mean all who talk it up are morons.

i doubt the conclusion "i don't really care what my image is on this forum, and don't care to spend time on a profile" takes up volumes.

by the way, legitimacy is ONLY relevant to those who have their minds made up.

He can have his opinion, I'm not against that. It's the way he presented his argument and the logic behind it is what I was about. If I was really going in to lash out at his opinions, I would have attacked what he thought about QT and RR movies.

No it doesn't, no it doesn't in the least. Especially in this case where the only thing these two have in common is their B-grade-esque quality. Plus, even that's represent in two different ways.

I read your post; and you can't draw parallels without prejudice, given "Grindhouse" doesn't even exist. As for the profile, I couldn't care less. It's just an unfair advantage, and if anyone goes the route of digging up dirt on you via old posts, you'd probably scream "stalker", although we can only get to know you through your Catch 22 trap. I could do it now, as a matter of fact, but that's not the kind of person I am.

Legitimacy is irrelevant to people who have their minds made up. Why would they take the time to listen if they made their minds up based on a singular observation. It's relevant to freethinkers because they're willing to observe and use the influence to express their own opinion.

manorastroman
because if they didn't take the time to listen, then their own opinion is rendered illegitimate.

There's this insanely ****ing cool standee at the theatre across from my house for the film. It's the outside of an old school theatre, and has a marquee ith both films. There's two doors, and each side features lobby cards from the movie.

I literally almost shit myself when I saw it. It was a late show, Pursuit of Happiness, which I went to see and nobody was around..so I was there after the show..admiring it for like 5 minutes straight.

I got the notion to ask if I could get it when they decided to do away with it, but then realized I had no place for something that's about 5' tall by 8' wide, lol.

I would be excited about this, but I seem to remember another movie that had three little movies in it, two of which were done by Tarantino and Rodriguez, and the thing I remember most about it was that it SUCKED ASS and Tarantino specifically does not know how to work with a format that is less than two hours. Still, I'll watch it.

I wouldn't exactly call him a legend, more like a good actor past his prime, but Tarrtino has brought back actors from the grave before, maybe he could do it with Russell as well.

Totally agree, his other films like The Thing, Escape from New York, and Backdraft completely own anything he did during his later career.

Backdraft, imo without a doubt his greatest role to date.

this film is just looking so cool!!!! Tarantino's section death proof will be fantastic, and it's got Kurt Russell in it!! the king of cool and john mcready, basically we are looking at what has the possibility of being
coolest film ever. planet terror also looks awesome, a chick with a gun for a leg. what more could you ask for from a zombie movie.

MildPossession
It's apparently mostly from the trailers. Robert R said it's just a little from the actual films, stuff that didn't really matter if cut out.

Huh. *I wish* this was NC-17.

vintageSW77
they are releasing longer versions for DVD
there is a fake missing reel in Planet Terror and the film quality is going to be grainy looking too
sounds fun

its a trailer made by someone for a competition to create a fake trailer.. this won the comp. and is going to be featured in Grindhouse apparently..

Awsome stuff funny thing is if a film came out like that with that trailer i would probably go and see it, pmsl Hobo with a shotgun.

It's Quentin Tarantino, it's bound to be great. All around the previews I have seen for it make me counting down the days till it comes out.

Not seen Kill Bill? Glorified msuic video that I didn't find amusing nor clever.

I've Rodgriegez' part of Grindhouse is much better than Tarantino's.

I've Rodgriegez' part of Grindhouse is much better than Tarantino's. Kill Bill was genius. Artful storytelling, spectacularly stylistic. I thought it was amazing.

Stylistic indulgence more like. I don't like being dramatic and walking out of films, but I did to this one.

I saw Grindhouse earlier today and it was awesome. Both movies were great, though I did enjoy Planet Terror just a bit more than Deathproof, but the whole experience was well worth it.

The fake trailers were hilarious, especially "Don't", I couldn't stop laughing at it.

I got back from watching Grindhouse a few hours ago and I loved it. I thought both flicks were great although there was a little to much talk in Death Proof for me but the parts with Russell were amazing. Stunts on the other hand were first-class in Death Proof and Planet Terror as well. I knew the film was going to be great as soon as the "trailer" for Machette appeared, all the trailers were great.

ragesRemorse
Though both films were fun and fullfiling, i thought death proof was the better of the two, it felt like it was almost a real movie. Something about hot chicks in a badass muscle car chasing down and intimidating the villian just works so well

I started laughing when Kurt Russel started crying and whining. laughing out loud

Leper_Messiah
I wonder how the hell someone could do stunts like that when the chick is on the hood of the damn car.

Grindhouse was a lot of fun.

I definitely enjoyed Planet Terror much much more, it was just fun throughout.

Death Proof was way too slow, too much stupid girls talking about gibberish and not enough substance, I know Tarintino likes his dialogue, but it was just too much in this one, plus I didn't like how Kurt Russel's character became a huge pussy at the end and basically got his ass handed to him.

The biggest plus, shockingly enough, was Eli Roth's trailer for Thanksgiving, by far the best of all the trailers and maybe the best part of the entire experience, some hilarious stuff in there. Maybe Eli Roth's best creation so far.

I thought that was the best part, It came out of left field for me, when the victims became the masochists.

If Planet Terror wasn't absolute shit, this would be my favorite experience at the theater.

I didn't have a problem with the victims becoming masochists, just how his character became a big blubbering cry baby so quickly, he was like a badass interesting villain who was intimidating, then at the first sign of trouble he starts crying and begging for mercy, really disappointing.

ragesRemorse
I can deffenintly understand where your comming from Backfire, Especially seeing how his car was "death proof" I just think had Russel kept his composed badass'ness during the struggle when the victims found their safe zone, the movie would have become redundant for what it was. I'm assuming this angle was done for humor, considering the overly extended scene where Russel was attending to his bullet would. Or maybe he was just trying to introduce a little bit of reality to a character which warrented a cemented movie stereoytype.

It seems that most human predators do become little bithces when taken out of their control zone

Best Movie of the Year IMO.

What a good movie... 'Planet Terror' had the killing, blood and grotesqueness, when 'Death Proof' had the Thriller and suspense. I was disappointed slightly at the end of 'Planet Terror'.

Overall, 4.5 Stars out of 5.

... Anyone else notice how they tied in each movie to each other?

I was expecting Robert Rodriguez to be in Death Proof after seeing Tarantino in Planet Terror.

Definitely not to me. I mean, Zodiac was good, but that last 10 minutes just jumped around and really disappointed me. Maybe if they didn't try to stay true to the case files they could have given me a satisfying ending.

All I gotta say is that El Wray was a tight character. My favorite action scene was when he was trying to get to Cherry in the hospital. What a bad ass scene.

Andrew McLeod
I found the entire night to be a complete joy. The movies allowed me to abandon a critical train of thought and just completely enjoy the movies. Very rarely does this happen for me. Also, very rarely do I have so much fun just watching something. Even more surprising, I've never seen a more pleased audience at the end of a movie before.

I think it's the best movie to have come out so far this year. At least, it's the most entertaining. It was a pure and utter joy to watch.

And I think it's obvious that Tarantino has a bit of a crush on Zoe Bell.

Yes, she is a stunt double. Uma Thurman's stunt double for Kill Bill, at that.

Bring on the El Wray prequel.
"Planet Terror" was great... Fast paced and fun.
The car chase in "Deathproof" was impressive and worth sitting through the slow parts.
The fake trailers were hilarious.

I'd love to see another Grindhouse movie.

I'm going to see if I can go to it again tonight.

Rodriguez said he already wrote the script for a Machete film and he plans on making it.

kiddo44
i overall liked Grindhouse, Planet Terror was ok for what it was, i just thought Deathproof was much better. The car chase scene was smokin' , and Zoe Bell was bada$$. I read that they may release on DVD individually, if thats the case i would only want Deathproof.

I wouldn't rely on IMDb as a source of Machete being made.

I'd love to see a Machete film though. Hell, I'd be up for any of them except for Don't, which wouldn't be funny beyond the trailer.

=Tired Hiker=
I saw Grindhouse last night, and I gotta say, I wasn't all that impressed. In fact, I thought most of Tarantino's Death Proof was extremely boring. The scene where the second set of girls is eating lunch and the camera floats around capturing their conversation was very frustrating to sit through. The shot itself was impressive in that it was probably the longest uncut shot in film history, and if the actresses actually remembered the entire scene without cue cards, then yay. However, the dialogue in that scene was soooooooooooooooo damn boring. Kurt Russel was gold, the car scenes were awesome, but the dialogue just made it suck, I thought it was really really lame.

Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror was a decent zombie movie at best, I enjoyed it much more that Death Proof. Yet, there was nothing really new there. The leg gun on Rose McGowen kicked ass of course, and the zombie death scenes were amazing and hilarious, and I loved the film grain in both movies and the "missing reel" splices where the sex scene and lap dance scene should have been, that was a hoot, but I just wasn't shocked like in Pulp Fiction when Vincent Vega accidentally shoots Marvin in the face, nor was I captivated by any of the dialogue like Mr. Pink's in Reservoir Dogs.

I thought that the fake trailers were pretty funny, but youtube's "Hobo With A Shotgun" was even better than all of Grindhouse's fake trailers put together.

Anyway, maybe I'm comparing apples to oranges, and maybe my expectations were too high, but I just wasn't impressed. I doubt I'll ever watch Grindhouse again.

Andrew McLeod
I found that conversation awesome. I mean, it must've took some rehearsing to get that down and it felt so natural. It was like watching people actually have a conversation instead of reading lines. Quentin Tarantino always has a way to make extraordinary circumstances seem believable because of the natural ebb and flow of his directing/writing.

As for Machete...

seriously, knowing it's about a bigass mexican with guns and knives and cheech as his sidekick...makes me want to see it so much more. I mean...what more could you possibly want? lol

I loved the movie, overall. I could have done without all the useless conversation in Death Proof. I think if Quentin would have cut done about half of the chicks talking about useless boring stuff the movie would have been an instant classic.

Tarantino has made his career out of chicks talking about useless boring stuff. What did you expect from him? Something original?

QT loves his dialogue, but I think it adds depth to the movie.

SpaceMonkey
I am usually a HUGE fan of the QT dialog. In this particular case though it wasn't as effective as it has been in the past. Why do we care, or need to know about the guy Jungle Julia is texting? Why are we bothered with Abby and Zoe's falling in a ditch story for as long as it went on? I just think alot of the dialog was used as filler in this case as opposed to his other movies where the information is pertinent or at least entertaining. Don't get me wrong, I loved the movie. Just those little things I had a problem with.

True, but I think QT was trying to give us some insight on the characters considering they would only be on screen for an hour and half, compared to his usual time of two and half hours.

=Tired Hiker=
I just think if QT is going to make us sit through forty minutes of chicks bickering about sh*t, it should be AT LEAST be interesting, intriguing, humorous and somewhat entertaining.

Roland, I get what you're saying, but Tired Hiker nailed it.

I just got back from seeing it myself.

"Planet Terror" - I haven't been excited after having seen a movie since "Sin City". I loved every single minute of it, and it seemed almost TOO "grindhouse-esque" to have been done by a professional filmmaker. I guess that's a compliment, because it felt so genuine. Freddie Rodriguez and Josh Brolin (holy shit does he look like his dad in "Amityville"wink totally stole the show. Surprising performances, lots of action, gritty dialogue, and just fun fun fun.

"Death Proof" - It was a very uneven movie, IMO. The opening diatribe had me thinking of the opening of "Reservoir Dogs" in the coffee shop. Then it happened again. And again. It seemed like every 20 minutes there was some instance of epic dialogue going down..and it totally ruined the flow, because they eventually just strayed from what the movie was about, almost ditching Kurt Russell for the sake of gabbing. I was bored to tears with it..hardly engaging, really BAD dialogue, too..especially all the ghetto slang..just uncomfortable, coupled with literally WATCHING Zoe Bell try to interact..and act, for that matter.

I'd pay to see "Planet Terror", the awesome trailers..the nostalgic bumpers..but Q.T. didn't impress me on his installment. At all. Especially the hokey ending.

BackFire
Pretty much agree with everything right there, C-Dic. Planet Terror was great.

Which was your favorite of the trailers?

Cory Chaos
Man..at first I was going to say "Machete", but Eli Roth's had me rollin'! His choice for the voice over was awesome. I doubt anyone else caught that he used the same font for "Thanksgiving" that was used for the movie "Basket Case". "Don't" was kind of schlocky, as was Rob Zombie's. I was expecting to see "Hobo w/ a Gun" though.
