Grindhouse

Just got back after watching Grindhouse - I'm thrilled to bits that I saw it in the US as one full segment: both features and all the four previews. Muahahahaha!

Bloody brilliant.

Planet Terror is the B movie to end all B movies. It's got everything - and I mean everything. Right from the sherrif who won't believe the hero to the rapist who loses his..well, I don't want to spoil the fun for you. And oh, Naveen Andrews has some balls!

Death Proof starts off as another B movie satire, but quickly morphs into a Tarantino flick, which is what you've paid money for anyway. Lots and lots of dialog, a bad ass bad guy, cool chicks and a killer soundtrack. I've become a fan of Sydney Poitier, by the way. And that's no typo.

Updated: The trailers are up on YouTube:

Thanksgiving: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYBI-OcoylQ

Don't: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka83i_e_v8M

Werewolf Women of the SS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j06FDBuDLHE

Hobo With a Shotgun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LlazPgxKrA (This was not shown in the US, was displayed only in Canada)

Don't know how long they will be up. Machete was available but it was brought down, I think.

    Talk about confusing families.

    Looking forward to Grindhouse. Lost interest in Tarantino after Kill Bill 2 but the fake trailers in particular sound interesting.

    Apparently, the full segment viewing is only possible in the US though :-/

    am so freaking jealous.

    decided I'm not going to read any reviews till I get the legit DVD in hand -- they aren't even trying to get a theatrical release in India. Sigh.

    butbutbut talk about the trailers? please? :)

    Merci, but am now biding my time, waiting for the torrent.

    okay so now I'm prepared for your verdict: which of the two films is better?

    :) good man.
    It's depressing that QT didn't make a trailer too, eh?
