Newsflash - people are fucking stupid. People in groups, usually more so.
There is actually talk of splitting Grindhouse, adding the 'lost reels', and re-releasing the film as single features. The gimmick is being blamed for the poor box office. Personally, I think it has more to do with Easter weekend.

As for the films themselves, Planet Terror was perfect - a great film in the context and spirit of the project. The second half I honestly thought was the worst film I've ever watched. I came very close to walking out, and that's saying something - I'm a cheap bastard. Yeah, I get it - I get he was more or less making fun of himself and his habit heavy dialog but really, it was beyond masturbatory. I was beyond bored - he was entertaining himself and not his audience. It was akin to slamming on the breaks after a great one hour ride.
