Thread: Grindhouse

    Default Grindhouse

    If any of you guys are a fan of zombie movies, b-movies, 70's movies, or anything like it... go see Grindhouse! I don't think you'll be disappointed...


    The whole thing, from the movies to the fake trailers to the authentically cheezy 70's "Feature Presentation" lead-ins, is tons of fun.

    Agreed. And Tarantino's movie has some of the best car chase footage to come along in a while -- all done without digital effects.

    Watch out for the Thanksgiving trailer, though.

    I like Tarantino films but hate Zombie movies. Basically I hate all scary movies.

    Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill I and II were great. I also liked True Romance which he played a part in. The writing is what makes his films IMHO. Res Dogs (except the ear scene) was entertaining as well.

    I think he takes somethings too far though. Violence for shock value is not entertaining to me.

    Thumbs up

    Next to Junkman, Original (Gone in 60 Seconds), and Vanishing Point, I am looking forward to seeing some action chase scenes that are not digitally altered. And Tarantino is a genious borderline madman, great stuff.

    Some good quotes in it too

    I enjoyed the first movie and all the previews, but the second movie nearly bored the crap out of me until the fun began...

    So snappy dialog bores the crap out of you? And by "fun" do you mean something involving your new lady friend or the car chase?

    Snappy dialogue?? I wanted to break somebody's neck I was so annoyed. Hearing women drone ON AND ON about NOTHING was so aggravating

    I went to see an action movie, not to hear a bunch of ugly women squealing about everything under the sun.

    Even Kurt Russell was aggravating.

    Rose McGowan was the only passable one, and even she wasn't that great. They just don't do it for me

    So yes, ugly. And they all looked like skanks.

    Wha? Now you'll really have to post up a pic of your new girlfriend. I think perhaps your judgement is a little off...
