BergviewHouse
As you can see below, we went to the first show at the Grindhouse. Went to sleep at 330am. Got up at 7am. Ready to walk out the door to meet Bake for the 1130am. Because i loved it? Well…yes and no.
So here’s a really quick, ultra-non-spolier (assuming you already know who directs the trailers…nothing more revealed than that……) yes/no type review for Grindhouse until i have more time later on tonight to appropriately assess the situation…
Planet Terror = Yes
Death Proof = Surprisingly and unfortunately, No
Rodriguez Trailer = YES
Eli Trailer = Yes and No
Rob Z Trailer – YES
Edgar Wright Trailer = YES
So, over all, Yes. Not YES or YES! or YES!! Overall, just Yes.
Ok, lemme go back to the Grindhouse and figure out what i’m really trying to say. In the meantime, i’m sure Eros can explain it all a little better.
Marley Shelton is wicked hot. That’s all I have to say on this subject.
And one little spoiler: No McGowan boobs.
Didn’t like this flick very much at all. The first couple minutes were great– Rose McGowan was well worth whatever they paid her for this movie. And there were some fun, energetic moments in the Rodriguez half of the movie.
But I really fell out of love during the second half, to the point where I wanted to leave. The long, boring, way, way, way self-indulgent conversations relevant of nothing were too much for me to handle. I could NEVER sit through this movie again…
On the subject of no McGowen Boobs – this is ridiculous. Not because i need to see Rose McGowen’s boobs. I really don’t. Until loving her in this i never found her anything more than wide and unfortunately large-boned. But the mere fact that, assuming this movie is the kind that it is, the lead actress would not show boobs is unacceptable. Now i KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING – it was in the “lost reel”…but that’s too easy an excuse – – the freeze frame / film melt should have happened on an exploitive tit close up or the like rather than the tit-tease that it does end on. This is only a minor gripe though.
And on the subject of Fat Ass – – i hear ya totally about DEATH PROOF – but when you say sit through this “movie”…which one are you referring to? Separate Soundtracks on the shelves. Soon to be separate DVD releases…two separate films! Let’s just be thankful Death Proof comes second, so we may exit after the intermission trailers.
