Fired up! Ready to go!
Has anyone seen this yet? Manfred called me from California when he was leaving the theatre and was so hyped about it. He said we have to watch it together. I'm afraid! Rolling Stone called it the most violent chick flick ever. :lol:

Saw it and loved it. My wife loved it as well. Tarantino's film wasn't as good as Rodriguez's, but it was still awesome. The chase scene in "Death Proof" is f'ing incredible, but it's the pocket bike in "Planet Terror" that steals the show.

So is it a series of short stories?

I cannot wait to see it. Speaking of violent chick flicks I saw the Kill Bill series for about the 4th time and those grow on me more and more.

Does this compare to Sin City?

It's two movies (about 1 hour and 15 minutes each) with about 4 fake previews. It's definitely not like "Sin City". To be honest, it's not like anything you may have seen in many years. It's a spoof of the terrible "drive in" movies of the 70's and it delivers some seriously big laughs.

"Grindhouse" suffers box office horror

Bad-boy directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez fell victims to a box office bloodbath on Sunday as their ambitious double feature "Grindhouse" bombed during its first weekend of release.
The three-and-a-quarter hour film -- actually a package of two movies honoring the low-budget horror movies of the 1970s -- opened at No. 4 with three-day ticket sales of just $11.6 million, distributor Dimension Films said. Box office forecasters had expected it to hit the $20 million level. "Are we disappointed about the gross?" studio co-chairman Harvey Weinstein told Reuters. "I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't. I am disappointed."

The $53 million project consists of Rodriguez' zombie thriller "Planet Terror" and Tarantino's slasher picture "Death Proof," complemented by ersatz trailers and scratchy prints that give a period feel to the undertaking.
