Title: Watched Grindhouse recently
Post by: danielson on March 11, 2008, 09:41:42 AM: Finally got a chance to see them, watched both of them, Death Proof and Planet of Terror. Planet was "ok", but I enjoyed Death Proof. Other than the fact that I knew the actors and they were using cells and Ipods, I actually bought the whole "old school" feeling. I felt like it could have been made on a low budget in the 70's, which is not a bad thing considering that was what Quentin was going for. Anyone else see either of them?

I've also heard that whether you buy Deathproof or Planet Terror, neither shows all of the cheesy "coming attractions" á la Thanksgiving.

I'll wait to catch these flicks when GrindHouse comes out on DVD as a whole, complete movie as it was shown in the theater.

Planet Terror had a coming attraction for Machete. I recorded them both off Showtime (I think,maybe it was Starz), and watched them over two nights. Death Proof is 2 hours alone, not sure how long Planet Terror was.

Post by: Nordic Beast on March 13, 2008, 05:17:26 PM: Deathproof annoyed me----too much "clever and witty" dialogue

some good death scenes but that was about it.

...and I really wanted to see those annoying bitches die at the end >:(

Close to 4 hours if you watch them both.

planet terror was cheesy and yes thats the premise but the gore was over the top and laughable,death proof was pretty good.

Brilliant stuntwork. I was in awe
