I'm watching Tarantino's Dead Proof. (Grindhouse) Have you seen it?

[jeff30997]

Right now I'm at 45 min. 08 sec. into the movie and still no action.

But the dialogs are really great!

I watched Planet Terror last month and had a lot of fun.

A real roller-coaster ride.Non-stop action and plenty of Zombies.

The crappy look and editing errors are a great idea.

Witch one do you prefer?

[Forkboy]

1. I liked them both a lot, but LOVED Planet Terror.

Death Proof is still pretty good though.

Pam: So how exactly does one become a stuntman?
Stuntman Mike: Well, in Hollywood, anyone fool enough to throw themselves down a flight of stairs can usually find someone to pay them for it. But really, I got into the business the way most people get into the stunt business.
Pam: How's that?
Stuntman Mike: My brother got me in it.
Pam: Who's your brother?
Stuntman Mike: Stuntman Bob.

:rofl:

[jeff30997]

2. "Well, in Hollywood, anyone fool enough to throw themselves down a flight of stairs... "

Lol! Yeah,great line.I think it's the first time I see Kurt Russell play a psychopath or for

that matter an evil guy.Please feel free to fill me in on a movie where he was.

Stuntman Bob! :rofl:

27. TV Movie of the Week

An early TV movie of the week, he played that sniper in Texas that killed all those people at a university. Let me IMDB it real quick..... The Deadly Tower - 1975

[Bucky]

I'd be pissed if I'd paid $10 to see just that.

Yes, it's good dialog. It's watchably boring. I go to Tarantino movies for violence, dialog is just icing.
But who wants to eat 45 minutes of icing?

[jeff30997]

4. "watchably boring"

Yeah,I thought that when I started to watch and kept saying to myself:"Ok,ok so when does the

action begins?" But now I'm about half way through the movie and I find it entertaining.

And a bit creepy.

[jeff30997]

3. 30 sec. after I posted the OP the action began...

And I find it far more disturbing than the Zombies in Planet Terror.:scared:

[Catch22Dem]

5. That is one weird ass movie

But I was oddly drawn to it...sucked in.

[opiate69]

6. What a coinky-dink..

my wife is watching that right now too whilst I play around online..

[jeff30997]

7. No way ! Are you serious?

If so then great coinky-dink indeed!:wow:

[opiate69]

8. Totally serious..

she said she needed to watch a movie involving hot women beating the crap out of a bad, bad man. LOL...

[jeff30997]

10. Lol, Yeah...

I've read about the story so I know he's gonna get what he deserves big time but

that's about all I know.Is it the first time she's watching it?

[opiate69]

11. Hehe.. nah, we've seen it once before...

her sister in law just gave us a big pile of DVDs last weekend though, and it was in there, so she decided to watch it again.. sorry if I gave anything away too.. good flick, dialogue heavy, but vintage Tarantino..

[jeff30997]

12. No,no,no you didn't gave anything away ...

And I appreciate it.

"her sister in law just gave us a big pile of DVDs" What's the story ?

I mean why did she gave away tons of DVDs ? It sounds like my sister.She buys tons of useless junk

on impulse.DVDs,electronic gizmos,perfume and "essential" oils,books and the list goes on and on.

Then about every 6 months she have a garage sale to get rid of all the stuff she accumulated.

My younger sister is more wise but she's a big time consumer too but I would say that she's

well balanced.A really smart lady she is.(And I still see her as my baby sister despite the fact

that she's 33. :)

[opiate69]

13. well.. truth be told....

they're copies (not exactly legal ones..) that they had made last year when her and her husband went through a little separation.. now, they're back together (and doing great), so they had 2 copies of almost every dvd they owned, so we got the pick of the litter, so to speak..

[jeff30997]

15. OMG that's so cool!

I mean the story about the fact that they had to duplicate the DVDs.

"copies (not exactly legal ones..)" Oh noes!1!!

They are evil librul copyright terrorists!1!! :)

Gee,if we follow the RIAA and the MPAA "logic",we are all criminals.

Greedy bastards!

But what I really find so interesting is that they split,came back

together and ended up with 2 sets of the same DVDs.Lol!

[opiate69]

18. lol.. yep..and, to top it off...

after 10 years of being together and trying to have a baby, and having a bunch of inconclusive fertility tests done, she's finally pregnant! My wife is so happy that her baby sister is going to make her an auntie!!

[jeff30997]

19. Get outahere!

"...after 10 years trying to have a baby...she's finally pregnant!"

That's amazing! Wow! I don't know what to say but I'm very happy for them.

10 years ?

-Jeff

[jeff30997]

9. WTF the Sheriff is saying ?

I mean usually I have no problem understanding English even with a southern or British accent

but the guy talk as if he had a hot potato in his mouth and I'm lucky when I get

50% of what he's saying.

(I'm French-Canadian and learned American English while growing up so usually I

have no problem understanding but that character ? Eek!)

[Madrone]

14. I LOVE that movie!

Just saw it for the first time not this past weekend but the weekend before. Still haven't seen Planet Terror. Death Proof was f'ing AWESOME though.

[jeff30997]

16. If you liked it then...

You'll love Planet Terror.Unless you don't like Zombie movies.

But the style is the same:Crappy grindhouse movie with

fake bad editing and scratches but with a big

budget.I loved it.:)

[Madrone]

17. Oh, there's no doubt in my mind I'll love it too.

#1 - Even though it's unpopular around here I LOVE Quentin and Robert flicks.
#2 - I'm a horror movie nut. Bad horror movies = all the better.
#3 - for being a non-violent pacifist type person I LOVE violent and gory movies.

:D

[jeff30997]

20. "it's unpopular around here "

What ? Quentin and Robert are verboten ? WTF? If it's the case then

I don't get it.

[Madrone]

29. Well - Quentin mainly.

But I've never been one to follow the crowd! ;) Actually, when Pulp Fiction first came out and everyone was going CRAZY for it I didn't want to see it. It wasn't until 4 years later (and after everyone else forgot about it or didn't care anymore) that I finally watched it - and some of his other movies.

[TreasonousBastard]

21. Death Proof fer sure...

Planet Terror was just another zombie flick if not for Rose McGowan's "leg," but as hard as Death Proof tried to be a brainless snuff flick, they couldn't keep kharma out.

I almost want a sequel to answer some questions--

What's the backstory to Stuntman Mike?

Did that last stomp kill him in the end, and did his demise get back to the sheriff?

Did whatshername left back at the farmhouse really have to blow the guy? Did they all have to blow the guy when they couldn't pay for the wrecked car?

Inquiring minds want to know...

[ghostsofgiants]

22. I preferred Planet Terror. Death Proof was okay but it seemed like he was trying too hard to relive

Pulp Fiction with the dialogue. When the action kicks in though, it kicks the fuck in.

[Janice325]

23. I preferred Planet Terror

Death Proof was pretty crappy, IMO, for a Tarantino movie. Looong, boring stretches, especially in the beginning.
Just my two cents.

[jeff30997]

24. Yeah,it's pretty slow but..

the dialogs are not bad.And I preferred Planet Terror too! :)

[Mesteryo]

25. Both good...

But the girls in Death Proof are hot especially Rosario
Dawson.

26. Meh on both of them. I wanna see MACHETE!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

28. I wanna see Thanksgiving Day.

Great stuff.

[Guava Jelly]

30. Death Proof was my favorite of the two.

I loved the ending I found it refreshing.
