EricJ Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 So what do people think? there are only about 100 comercials on a day for this one now days, but i'm worried it looks like another dusk til dawn, all style and very very little substance. Although it looks like there will be zombies, and I'm a zombie movie fan, so I'll have to see it, but my hopes aren't real high for it, despite all the build up they're doing...

matty1001 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I havn't seen any stuff for this our side of the pond, but there was an article in The Guardian and iv seen the trailers and stuff on the net. It looks really authentic, and althugh Iv never been to a grindhouse, i remember watchin all these types of films when i was about 14-15 at about 3am. One thing to say though: I. NEED. TO. SEE. IT.

Ritual Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 If it sucks I can always watch the Kill Bill films again... I think they hold up for at least a couple of more watchings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 yeah, Tarantino really seems to have this inner struggle. He always seems driven to create overstylized films, but it seems sometimes it seems he gets too caught up in just the style and forgets to add little things like an interesting plot and character development. Now when he does include those things it makes for great film, there is no arguing, however since all the trailers for this just seem to be more about screaming "how cool does this movie look" it makes me worried that's all the movie itself focuses on...just for 2 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I have no expectations at all about Rodriguez's part, as I don't appreciate any of his previous films. Actually, From Dusk till Dawn is probably the best thing I've seen from him and that says something, eh? Sin City did very little for me and the old Desperado films aren't that great either. But if Tarantino's part sucks I'll be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty1001 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hopefully the film won't have a plot, make no sense, and just be completely over styled with great oneliners, and a completely over the top advertising poster. And loads of action and Dun Dun Duh music. That will be great grindhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Although it looks like there will be zombies, and I'm a zombie movie fan, so I'll have to see it, Odd, how you like movies about zombies, yet hate to paint them. :hmmmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Odd, how you like movies about zombies, yet hate to paint them. :hmmmm: did nathan hire you to say that!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malebolgia Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I will see it and I will love it. Love Tarantino and Rodriguez so this one will rock enormously for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eastern Front Studios Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 well I think if you have seen the short interviews they have been playing where Tarantino is speaking about the movies its going to be made to be pretty cheesy crash and boom just like he watched when he went to the drive in.so dont expect any academy awards here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincegamer Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Rob Zombie is somehow involved, isn't he? I know he was talking about his favorite grindhouse movies recently. Ilsa Shewolf of the SS is the inspiration I will use for painting a female Comissar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty1001 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 going to be made to be pretty cheesy crash and boom just like he watched when he went to the drive in. With any luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 If Tarantino could bring back the actual DRIVE IN MOVIE Theaters...then I'd say he's on to something. I miss those. But, I will most definitely wait for this to hit DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 did nathan hire you to say that!? No, just an observation, ....but now that you mention it, maybe I should see about getting some form of payment for it. (*Note to self: Find more ways to make Eric feel guilty for not painting zombies.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinton Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I'll be going to see it since I love these kinds of movies. Sometimes you want a plot with lots of character development and a great storyline that makes you think; sometimes you just want to turn the ol' brain off. I'm a big Kurt Russell fan, love Tarantino's work and Rodriguez has done some pretty good work (didn't care for the Spy Kids stuff, though).
