I've had Gum as my avatar for approximately 6 months now. I felt it was time for a change at larrst. And all this House Of The Dead Overkill grindhouse excitement reminds me of the (excellent) movies Tarantino and Rodriguez put out as homage for the "scene".

So I thought "Planet Terror-up" my avatar with something hilariously horrifying.

You're all going to have to learn that my avatar is yellow not green now. It shouldn't take long!

Let's all have some fun and perve on "Cherry Darling" (lol!) to make this post worthwhile:

I have the opposite opinion.

Seriously? Death Proof was such a failure. Too much useless dialogue and not enough of anything else. I suppose that makes it more like a Grindhouse movie but that didn't make it entertaining.

I like dialogue in movies, though...I guess that's why I like Kevin Smith films. Anyway, Tarantino > Rodriguez.

I agree but when a film is dialogue heavy, it has to be smart, punchy and memorable rather than women just taking about boyfriends and other useless banter. Something which has plagued all of Tarantino's movies since Reservoir Dogs.

I'd agree that Planet Terror > Death Proof. What really pissed me off is how they were released as 2 different movies on DVD. I got Planet Terror, but I can't justify spending twenty bucks on Death Proof. I my opinion, it doesn't hold up very well on it's own.

I think Planet Terror was better than Death Proof. I enjoyed both and I'm no movie aficionado but Planet Terror stuck with me in a way that Death Proof didn't.

Planet Terror was awesome, in a twisted and sickening way. Perhaps I'm not a fan of the horror genre, but I still enjoyed it. On the other hand, Death Proof was just, ugh. The fake trailers were great, though.

Planet Terror is infinitely better in every way; Death Proof is awful. The only good part of DP was when everyone shut up and the car chase happened but by then I was already bored out of my mind and so withdrawn as to not really care anymore. What Tarantino does most of the time, especially in DP, is not "dialogue," it's self-fellatio. I enjoy dialogue too but when scenes feel like a contrived way for the writer to have a conversation with himself and doesn't feel like characters in a scene having a conversation, I draw the line. In any case, dialogue doesn't excuse an awful film.
