I think Planet Terror was better than Death Proof but i still think Death Proof is great. I’m only 12 yrs old and was 11 when Grindhouse came to theaters so my mom wouldn’t let me see it. but after the 2 were released she let me buy Planet Terror, it became my favorite movie. i saw the death proof sneak peak and bought it about 3 months after Planet Terror. it was disapointing compared to Planet Terror and compared to some of Tarantino’s movies like Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. But it’s still a good movie. i now have all the Tarantino flics exceppt Reservoir Dogs. i dont really care for that moviebut its still good. i later saw the full Grindhouse on tv. i regret not seeing it in theaters.

The second time I watched Death Proof, on it’s own, it didn’t have it’s more attractive friend standing beside it making it look bad by comparison. It’s actually a really good movie. Most average movie watchers who enjoy the occasional AVP:R (rofl) or 27 Dresses (double rofl) might not have the stamina to sit through the dialog, but I personally loved it and think it has the same rewatch value as Planet Terror.

Both movies were good, sorry Ben but your movie review credit is shot when you say Spiderman 3 is amazing. Tarantino is one of the best cinema writers/directors of all time. That seen of them talking around the table wasn’t as bad as you portray it to be. Also, the reason this movie bombed is the same reason a lot of good movies don’t do well. It’s because America is full of god damn retards who wouldn’t know good cinema if it bit them in the ass. Employee of the month made $11,407,751 opening weekend, i rest my case.

P.S.

All the extremely divided reviews of “Death Proof” are proof that it has something going for it. Just that it can spark so many heated arguments means it at least made an impression on people.

My buddy and I saw this opening weekend in an empty theater… and loved every minute of it. Planet Terror AND Death Proof. Good stuff! Cheesy and shallow, of course, but hey this project is all about fun.

I knew it wasn’t going to do good in theatres. Most people don’t understand the concept. I think this movie was more for RR and QT fans than both of their other movies. But I wouldn’t say Death Proof was a BAD movie. It just wasn’t what you would expect after all the corny action in Planet Terror.
