    It's hammy acting, grossly over the top violence, with a dash of sexploitation.

    And its got zombies.

    but what if I don't like any of those things

    Oh my GOD it was so good. Bar none the most fun cinematic experience I've ever had.

    And the writing and directing in Death Proof? Absolutely incredible. Tarantino knows film so well. I envy him.

    I wish Thanksgiving was real.

    The crowd was rowdy.

    Awesome.

    I think everyone in my theater felt that way.

    Pretty much everyone yelped during the, er, trampoline sequence in Thanksgiving.

    The machine gun leg is hardly even a fraction of what made Planet Terror great (though I think Death Proof was the better of the two). You are in for such a ride, sir.

    I am so very happy

    As for Tarantino and uneccesary dialogue, a lot of his dialogue is never needed. Like in the beginning of Resovoir Dogs, where they're talking about Madonna. He didn't have to do it, but it added the sense of regularity to the crooks.

    But then again I haven't seen it, so maybe I shouldn't be trying to discuss it yet.

    The machine gun leg is stupid. How does it even work?

    Death Proof looks to be decent.

    I thought the dialogue in Death Proof was phenomenal. Really added to the characterization and all, but more importantly, it was entertaining.

    Edit: Dark Primus, if you're asking how a machine gun leg might work, this is probably not the movie for you.

    That is why I only wish to see Death Proof.

    I can suspend my disbelief quite a bit for films, but I'm sorry, the gun leg is just retarded. She does a fucking rocket jump in the trailer.

    Death Proof was certainly a lot more... "realistic." And generally better, in my opinion.

    But still, the rocket jump / machine gun leg barely scratch the surface of what made Planet Terror absurd, and I think that's glorious. To each their own, I suppose.

    Oh man they are showing this in the drive in around where I live. I think that is probably one of the best ideas ever for seeing this movie.

    especially since drive ins are easily free. well more free than watching every movie playing at a theater, with a single ticket (children/seniors of course).

    It is like one of the only drive ins left around, I won't try and get around the price they charge. It's only like five bucks anyways.

    Probably the best movie-going experience I've ever had. People were fucking jumping out of their seats and cheering at certain parts (which were all very cheer-worthy). I hope GRINDHOUSE 2 has full length versions of Machete and Thanksgiving and Don't, just make a fucking 5 hour movie.

    For those who haven't seen Grindhouse but want to watch the amazing Thanksgiving trailer (which will somewhat spoil one of the best things about the movie, but hey), it's available in its uncensored entirety on IGN.

    i was gonna go see this today but i didn't know what the fuck the theater was trying to pull

    they were showing it on one screen, but the show times were 12:00 1:55 4:00 5:55 8:00 9:55 and they had the running time listed as 101 minutes

    the movie is actually 191 minutes long


    this didn't make any fucking sense

    i think they were showing each half of the film seperately and charging for each

    But if you had to choose, see Planet Terror. It is right up your alley.
