For people who have seen Grindhouse
So I saw a few blogs about Grindhouse, and I guessing quite a few people saw it this weekend. I think it would be a fun movie to talk about. There's so much I could say about it. It was a fun time for sure. Like I said, there's so much to talk about, but I think I'll start out with Kurt Russell. Who didn't absolutely love him here? All of the times that he looks straight into the camera and gives a grin. And the scene where he pulls the booze out of his glove compartment after he get's shot. Wow!

Re: For people who have seen Grindhouse
I was movie surfing at the metroplex and stopped in to see parts of Grindhouse, including the complete car chase. I thought that it absolutely caught the spirit of movies I've sat through back in the... hmm... late sixties maybe. Around the time of the blaxploitation flicks. The IMDB Top 250 has it listed in the top 100 at the moment, though, and to me that's a head-scratcher.

Kurt Russell was fantastic! I thought he was too busy sniffin' cocaine off of glass coffee tabels, who knew he had it in him to land another movie role, let alone pull off such a brialliant performance!

Re: For people who have seen Grindhouse
I have to say that Grind House is the best movie (S?) I've seen this summer. I am very sad people didn't get it, and that they are releasing the movies seperately on DVD. The experience of watching the film was exciting and extremely fun for me. I wasn't alive for the original grindhouse movies back in the day, but I am profoundly mystified by peoples lack of knowledge about the double features. I have a brand new appreciation for the whole gang related to that movie, though maybe most notably Rose Mcgowan and Eli Roth who directed a trailer and appeared in Death Proof (the trailer for Thanksgiving was SICK!). ---fav has to be Tony in Planet Terror, played by the director's son. "I'm gonna eat your brains and steal your knowledge." I thought the gun scene was hilarious!

Re: For people who have seen Grindhouse
They are releasing them separately on DVD? That's rediculous? Then again, would it even be possible to fit it all on one DVD? What's the most minutes of footage that fits? Well they should at least package the movies together so you can pop them in together and see the trailers inbetween the same way it was in the theater.

Re: For people who have seen Grindhouse
I absolutely loved Zoë Bell's performance in Death Proof, she is a fantastic (stunt) woman. Soon after I watched Grindhouse I looked up Zoe Bell on Wikipedia and found about Double Dare, a documentary about Zoë Bell and Jeannie Epper, the stunt woman for Wonder Woman in the (70's, 80's?). If you liked Death Proof's girl-power focus, check out Double Dare, it's a really great to see her rise from Zena's stunt double to Uma Thurman's in Kill Bill 1 and Kill Bill 2! Thankgiving and DON'T! were absolutely hilarious... they must have had so much fun making those two movies together.
