The trailers for Machete, Thanksgiving, and Don't were all awesome. The only one I hated was Rob Zombie's "werewolf women" trailer. That one blew ass. It didn't even go with the time period that all the other trailers were spoofing. In fact, it looked like everything else Rob has already done before. Plus he had to stick his wife in there (again) and have her performing on stage in a dress JUST like she did in House of 1000 Corpses. Fucking boring.

Eli Roth should also call it quits now because, sadly, this trailer is the best thing he's ever done in his career. The guy can't direct a decent new movie (take a look at that piece of shit "Hostel" for example), but he clearly does have talent when you see something like Thanksgiving. He really should make that into a full-length movie and then call it quits.

As for the main movies themselves, I'm not sure which I liked more and will have to watch them again, but I'm probably leaning towards Death Proof.

I read somewhere that Machete was getting his own movie or something of the sort. about 2 months back.

Roth originaly intended to make Thanksgiving, but due to his commitment to Hostel 2 and the upcoming Stephen King movie "cell" (super cellphone zombies) he said it wouldn't happen for at least the next decade. When he was approached to make a trailer he jumped at it stating "all I have to do is shoot the best parts and none of the boring stuff"

Does anyone remember the new Stephen King movie starring John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson, 1408?

The trailer before Grindhouse started scared the shit out of me. This is gonna be a good one.

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.

The only things I got out of this movie is that either Quentin Tarentino lost his touch with dialog or I have outgrown it and that Robert Rodriguez should only make children's movies from now on.

I mean all his movie need was that song that goes "CLICK CLICK BOOM"

I like how a movie that supposedly takes place in the Grindhouse era has SUV's in their car chases.

Well that was certainly the most retarded fun I've had in a while. My friends and I completely took over the front rows, with only five other people in the theatre.

Tarantino was pretty damned dedicated to the revenge flick formula. Unfortunately, revenge flicks like "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" were pretty damned dull. Awesome stuntwork, though.

The movies weren't supposed to represent the grindhouse era, the actual presentation of the film was not the content itself.

Yup, the style was grind house. The setting was contemporary. (Remember in DP, they crashed through a Scary Movie 4/Wolf Creek double feature movie sign.)

Which is why I enjoyed the Rob Zombie's trailer so much.

They are all both homages and contemporary takes on a wicked awesome genre.

My favorite was "Don't". The others were a lot funnier, but they weren't nearly as period.

Well, as far as humor goes, Thanksgiving all the way, but I got a real kick how "Don't" was exactly like all the schlock I saw as a kid. Especially the terrible, bloodless effects when the guy yanked out his eyes.

That's what I'm saying too. I guess I just saw more slasher movies than kinda supernatural horror movies as a kid.

The Thanksgiving trailer reminds me soooo much of Prom Night, from the disembodied voice to the dismemberment.

Death Proof was ruined with too much god damn talking. It's not even just the talking, but they were talking about nothing. And I wanted Death Proof to be better, desperately...

while i agree that there was way too much dialogue ( and not very much of it was interesting ) in death proof, i still think that the last half hour was amazing.

Just got back from seeing it for the first time and I loved it. The scene when the new Zealand girl was on the hood of the car was so intense!

Confirmation from the local Sam Goody: Planet Terror and Death Proof are being released separately. They're actually being released two days apart at my store on the 16th for Planet Terror and the 18th for Death Proof.

So it's good news if you're one of the folks that only liked Planet Terror.
