Roth's Thanksgiving

Grindhouse is the most overrated movie of the decade. It wasn't good and certainly not worth owning.

You opinion. I thought Death Proof was excellent, send up to 70s horror/action movies. But thats My Opionion, not yours/

Weird, I've heard nothing but people badmouthing Grindhouse most of the time, so IMO, its fairly underrated.

I think a lot of people were turned off by the 3 1/4 hour runtime.

Come on, it's a discussion board, you don't have to just dismiss other peoples' opinions to avoid an argument, that's part of the fun of this, arguing your point. Why do you think Grindhouse was underrated, Darkgod?

[Darkgod]

Well first off it is two films. People forget that and lump it in togather as one. Death proof and Planet Terror are 2 seperate films. Now Planet Terror i think is the lesser of two, and more of a showing of what 70's films where like. In that I mean the B movies you could see at a grindhouse on 42nd st.

Death Proof is the better of the two i think, because its builds Tension. Sure it takes a while to get there, and people say there is too much talking. You went to see a Quentin Tarrentino movie and didn't think it would be a lot of talking? Anyway, the character isnt some suped up monster. he is a normal guy who kills with a car. And preety cooly I might add. The tension builds cause you know this guy is bad, yet he is talkikng to these chicks and eventually drives one home. You just know somehting is gonna happen. When the pull to the end of the parking lot and he says left or right. She says right. And he just shakes his head and gives that line about being scared. that was fucking good movie scares. A real life OH SHIT KURT RUSSEL IS ABOUT TO KILL ME.

This is in contrast to other movies coming out where no one gives a shit if someone dies. In the Haloween remake, I didnt care if Laurie Strode lived. i hated the bitch cause she was annoying as fuck and had no likeable charcteristics.

I agree with you in-so-far as Death Proof is concerned... C-span is more exciting than DeathProof.... If I want to watch a bunch of tough women sit around yapping on and on about nothing of consequence, I'll go hang out with my lesbian sister and her friends... however, I thought Planet Terror was a fun, albeit retarded, movie, worthy of my shitty movie collection. I'm sure glad they split up the dvd release... at least I didn't have to live with the guilt of wasting more money on DeathProof.

to each theire own.
